This is the end of my so-called “healthy life-style plan” week. That means I took measurements to see any progress.
My experience with measuring my waist and hips is that it is tricky and does not match with what the scale says. Thus, from now on I am sticking with the measurement of my weight.
Today my weight is 207 pounds. It is 3 pounds less than two weeks ago. I am not overly excited about this (my weight can fluctuate 2-3 pounds within a day – not sure what the reason is; thinking either my scale is not sensitive/accurate enough or my body retains water – I guess both of these are quite possible). I need to see the same weight over a week to finally become confident about what my weight is. Therefore I am not treating this as a weight loss; rather I see it as a positive sign that at least I did not gain weight this past week 🙂
What have I eaten today?
Breakfast: one hard boiled egg, coffee with creamer and brown sugar
Lunch: two apples
Late-afternoon snack: roasted chicken.
Dinner (updated after posted): 2 slices of whole wheat bread, around 100 grms of cheese, and raw lo bok. Lo bok is white radish often found in Asian stores. I am fond of it because of its juicy texture and light taste. I have been thinking; it is good that nowadays I am not having salad, but rather consuming veggies as they are; overall I consume less olive oil this way.
Late-night snack (added after posted): yogurt – good job 🙂
Exercise: None – it was raining today, so I took the cab/bus.
Life as I interpret it 
I’ve started tracking my weight daily and I see fluctuations of several pounds too! Like you, guess it needs to be a more consistent decrease before I say I lost anything.

I suggest that you start jogging even if it is a few minutes before walking and then increase a tiny bit each time

great idea, but I really cannot jog (old person here buddy 🙂 ) Okay I am not that old, but jogging is not for me. I see why you say that though – I used to jog and I know how great it feels and how faster it dissolves the fat. peace 🙂

Brisk walking is just as good as jogging, and easier on the knees. Otherwise, there are hundreds of activities to try. ☺ Good job keeping track of your food intake and definitely try to incorporate some physical activity (not just for weight loss, but because it is part of a fun, enjoyable healthy life!)
