Fitness Update — Day 29

O.K., so I’ve changed a couple of things.

First, I didn’t update Friday or over the weekend. I’ve got a new way of handling the food and exercise, and I’ll post more info in the next couple of days.

Second, I’ve “fixed” it so these on the front page, instead of just on the “fitness” page as before.

As for an actual update, the scale reads 244 lbs. That’s the conservative reading, because, as I’ve written before, I don’t have a digital scale, and the needle wiggles a little. Last week, I mentioned that the scale read 244, but that was after a 5 mile run, which is deceiving as I tend to drop measurable weight when I run distances greater than 3 miles. All of that weight dropped is, of course, water.

I’m quite pleased. Although I didn’t start recording my weight here until January 16th, I weighed 256 lbs on January 2nd, which was when I started eating differently and seriously working out. Since then, I’ve lost 12 pounds. I’m also only 19 pounds away from my initial goal weight now, which is great. If I keep losing weight at this pace (I know I’ll plateau at some point), I’ll meet my goal on April 10th. If I get there, I may increase my calorie intake a bit, but I’ll probably try to keep losing weight until at least May 28th. I’ll stop then no matter what my weight, as I’ll need to focus on training for the 2006 Portland Marathon. I may still lose some weight, but I won’t be actively trying to do so. Just eating a normal amount of calories and exercising.

Anyway, I’ll update more in the coming days…The Molly Maguires trailer

Fitness Update — Day 22

Yet another Monday. Joy.

Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve dropped (conservatively) another two pounds since last week, for a new weight of (no more than) 247 pounds.

Monday seems to be the day of the week to weigh myself. For whatever reason, throughout the week, I carry between two and three pounds of extra weight, which I think must be water. So, Tuesday through Saturday mornings, I’ll weight 249-250 in the morning this week. Last week it was 250-251 throughout the week.

Last week was my best, most consistent week since committing fully to my food and excercize plan. I didn’t skip one planned session of exercise and I didn’t gorge myself on anything too bad (Friday nights oatmeal cookie mini-binge notwithstanding).
