That's more like it.  3.4 pounds.  I'm not even pushing myself.  Still drinking a lot of water.   Went to gym 5 days this week and not all 7.  And the last two days that I went, I was taking it easy on the elliptical machine.  I was trying to keep my heart rate in the heart burn zone, which for some reason is oddly lower than the cardio zone.  (A quick google search had one answer saying it's because working harder puts you into anaerobic exercise mode rather than aerobic exercise mode, which ends up burning more fat.... while other posts are saying that doesn't really matter and it's just the amount of calories burned.  Will look into it more later.)

If I keep up this rate, which wasn't all that bad, I can still make my target weight.  But if I don't, and still get to mid-low 190s, that's still very excellent.  Losing weight without stressing about it too much is definitely the way to go.

Coming up for this next week, gonna be studying more about creating a better weight lifting workout with the help of a Muscle Fitness Training Guide that my brother dropped off the other day.
