Workout: 60 minutes today, 585 for April
A few huge things for me today. First and foremost, my weight. I dropped 5 pounds from yesterday to today. A few factors to this, I'm thinking. First off, I usually weigh in during the early morning, and today's weigh in was around 8pm. Second off, I was WAY down on calories today going into my workout - probably around 700 or so for the day, so that may have accounted for it. I'm telling myself not to get TOO high about it, because a jump like that will usually work itself out tomorrow.
I actually got onto the scale, got the scale to balance out, and immediately thought that I did something wrong. I stepped off the scale, and got back on and tried it again. A second time it worked, so I got back off, and tried it a third time. I could hardly believe.
Either way, I'm pretty damn happy about it.
The second bit of news is, for those of you who get the calorie-count.com newsletter every month, I made my first mass appearance. A few articles that I have written, including "Rob's Story" which I wrote yesterday, and "Up Against a Wall? Break through it!", have been published and were featured in this month's newsletter. I'm pretty proud of that, and I'm hoping that when people read them, they're moved by them. I've been thinking a lot about where this journey started from lately, and when I emailed the site about writing for them and Igor (the site owner) asked me about writing, I was MORE than proud.
I've put them as new links on the right, you'll find them over there ----->
Also, I've done a bit of work on the blog in terms of redesigning it. I also put a bit of time into Gary's too, and I think I'll keep tinkering with them until I get them exactly how we want them, but I think that's just part of the journey - just like our bodies, the blogs will change with us.
Ok, time for bed. It's past 11pm, and I'm in the gym at 5:30am, working with Gary. Until next time, let's hope that that 306 decides to stick around (or get lower, of course!)

Wow that is wonderful, I hope the 306 sticks!!
Nice work man- you're on your way to becoming a weight-loss-ebrity!
BTW- have you forsaken the 5-day average? I see no mention of it anywhere anymore?
I'm keeping track of it, but I only 'officially' post it on Mondays.
For what it's worth, my five-day is 308.9 as of today, with my five last weigh in's at 307, 306, 311, 310.5 and 310.
Awesome, Rob! Congrats on the new low weight AND the writing gigs!
the 306 may not be a fluke if you have been following our rules. keeping more low glycemic, nutrient dense foods in your system makes the body feel fuller longer and promotes good anabolic hormones in the body. so even though your calories were a little low, your body may be happy with the feeling full and having steady glucose supplies rather than the up/down stuff it was accustomed to. so yeah, here's hopin, and get those calories up.
Nice work cous. The trains movin down hill now.
