Dropping some lbs so Nathan and I can have many years of not sitting on the couch.
Start 234.8--Current 183.8--Goal 165--Lost 51--To Go 18.8--73.1% Complete
How’s it going? Going to give this a shot again. Also two weeks left at my current job, got a promotion that starts after we get back from Disneyworld. Looking forward to the changes, but part of the change is an hour commute down and back.
Going to look back over the blog from the last year+ worth of data and see if I can pinpoint where I was most successful and try to recapture that.
Hope you’ve been well, sorry for another couple week disappearing act.
Great weather (apparently the last day of good weather for a week), and Tiffany off today led to a bike ride. Got going, and got to the turn for my short loop, and said “Nah! Let’s go big!”
11.10 miles, 45:29 total, 4:06 per mile. Much closer to my old pace, it was a great ride really enjoyed it, and it reminded me how much I really enjoyed throwing on a podcast and getting out for a nice long bike ride. Also burned 523 calories which was nice.
Didn’t have a perfect week exercise or with the diet, so I wasn’t expecting much.
Last week I was 206.8 this week 205.6. Nice 1.2 lbs loss. Keep making progress.
Beautiful day out, so for the first time in a few weeks getting a bike ride in was reasonable. Plus less pounding on my knees is very much appreciated these days.
7.02 miles, 33:24 total, 4:46 per mile, 282 calories burned. Come on nicer weather, I can’t wait to do this more often.
Up at 3 to watch opening day, Seattle Mariners vs Oakland A’s live from Japan.
Went out at 10 for my run, but snuck it in! Week 2 Day 1 of C210k.
3.71 Miles, 54:48 468 Calories burned
Food was back in line after getting a little out of line over the weekend. PS the scale doesn’t care that you are kid free for the evening, if you eat like crap it will punish you!
Breakfast: Turkey Delight Sandwhich, Black Itallian Roast Coffee
Lunch: Turkey and Cheddar Dry on Dave’s killer bread, Pear (I always eat my sandwhiches btw, this isn’t a sacrifice)
Snack: Black Italian Roast Coffee, Handful Peanut Butter Pretzels
Dinner: Chicken Tortilla Soup
Total Calories consumed 1183, burned 468, net 715, way below goal. Um let’s say I’m zig zaging and making up for way too many calories on Saturday, and a few too many calories on Sunday.
May as well get a weight update in as well. Last week I was 209.8, this week 206.8. Still undoing the damage from injury and pitty, but progress is always nice to see.
Speaking of injuries, Tony over at http://lifechangeneededaisle3.tumblr.com/ has been a big inspiration to me. He just came down with an injury derailing some of his upcoming plans and I know that knocked me on my butt a bit as well when I realized a marathon just wasn’t in my future (at least right now?). Tony is a really good guy, if you don’t follow him give him a look, and let him know you are rooting for him. Good luck Tony!
2.99 Miles in 46:59 Today, 383 calories. Finishing up week 1:
Busy couple days. Everything going well, scale is down a bit, weather is returning to normal March weather. Need to do Week 1 Day 3 of C210k tomorrow now that ice and snow should be gone.
No exercise today, other than a minature snow ball fight with Nathan, and building a snow man. First day of spring, eh?
My phone is dead from playing a bit too much draw something after dinner. That had my food log for the day on it, I do know I was a bit under calories for the day.
Breakfast: Turkey Delight Breakfast sandwhich, coffee w/ skim milk
Lunch: Turkey and Cheddar on good ol’ Dave’s killer bread, pear
Snack: Some more evil trader joe cookies, coffee w/skim milk
Dinner: Chicken Tortilla soup
I’m secretly really enjoy the snow, other than the driving part of it. Kinda hope it sticks around till after I get off tomorrow.
Ok, no bike ride today.
