The Hacker's Diet - February 2008

I plead extenuating circumstances. I won't go into what they were but for the first time since October, my diet was pushed far, far into the background of my life.
I somehow STILL managed to lose 2lbs this month, but honestly, it feels more like rounding error than anything else. I guess this just proves one of those axioms I posited at the beginning of the blog: small changes over time add up.

A deficit of 275 calories is not much of a deficit -- five oreos. One White Chocolate Mocha. Maybe that was it. Maybe the 2lbs this months is simply the removal of the WCM from my diet. Could be.

Since I hardly felt like I was dieting all month, I could very easily live like this and still lose 10-12 lbs a year. How about that.

The Statistics:

Lost in February: 2 lbs

Lost since starting diet: 20.2 lbs

Pounds still to lose: 9.8lbs to go.

14 days working out or exercising (out of 29).

275 calories burned per workout.
