May starting weight: 184
May Goal: 181
Ultimate goal: 179 lbs (BMI <25)
- Original Goal: 185 lbs by July 1st
- average 1.0 lbs per week
- drop about 10% of body weight

Non-Scale Goals:
- get BMI closer to "normal"
- A1C/Glucose back into "normal" ranges (been just above normal)
- HDL up to 40+
- Improved fitness - ready for backpacking Grand Canyon (7days) and Philmont with Boy Scouts (12 days)

May 7: 184
May 14- 184
May 21- no weigh-in (in Grand Canyon)
May 28- Back from Grand Canyon...should be an interesting. Weigh-in
May 31- 182.5

Total loss for May: 1.5

Just back from 6+ days backpacking in the Grand Canyon. Some days, I ate like a ravenous jackal (3500cal per day typical)...backpacking in the desert can do that to you. But it was really all as planned.
I am feeling strong and fit. My son and travelign companions all remarked about thinner Brian.

I hereby declate May a SUCCESS, even though I did not make it to 181!

Doing just fine! Lets move on to June.

I probably won't hit my goal because I have a diet break scheduled from the 21st to the 31st.

172 so lost 5 this month. Not too shabby for taking a 2 week diet break. I forgot about this until today.
