Today is the day. FINALLY, that 250 mark has been cracked and I can say I am less than 250 pounds. Although no miletstones were met, I still want to call this one a milestone because it was so hard to achieve and it spanned 4 days.
I did not work out yet today. My left foot is hurting quite a bit. But still met the crititeria. So I will enjoy today.
Weight: 249.0
Wow, after struggline to crack 250 I really nailed it. I must say tracking your consumption is the magic that did it.
I knew going into my workout I was going to crack 250 again because I did weigh in at 249. But I did not know my workout was going to be this successful.
Today is a two a day as well. A Four Plus in the morning which I ran in 48:34 in full cold gear. So I was heavy and I did sweat a lot. My weight in all those without shoes was 254.6
This afternoon I have a Jillian Michaels workout with Stephanie.
Also this is a double milestone, the first I crack 250 in consecutive days. So just 2 more days and I am officially under 250 and I will buy another rice bag for my desk. With this weigh in, 240 is absolutely doable by year end.
Weight: 246.6
So this is a late post. This was actually done at 1AM Saturday morning. I forgot to post cause I got busy. Also am a little drunk 🙂 Will backdate this post.
Anyway, awesome awesome awesome run. Recall my bes Two Laptop was just a shy above 25 minutes. I cracked that record in an over the top way and bypassed the 24 minute mark completely and ran a 23:59.01.
Also, Thankgiving didn’t set me back as bad in the weight loss area.
Weight: 251.6
By monster I mean the 250 mark that has been oh so hard for me to break. I will consider that monster killed if I consistently stay under 250 for 4 consecutive days one of those days being a weekend day.
I have to step back and look at the significance of this, the last time I was under 250 was before my youngest son was born. That was over 3 years ago.
Recall that 243 was the lowest recorded weight I have had this century. If I can make it past Thanksgiving (I will not lie to you I am going to enjoy it), I think I can crack 240 and be in the high 230’s by end of year. I got 6 weeks to do it. Two pounds a week is absolutely doable. December 20th does make the halfway mark, if I do make it to 235 by or on December 20th, I would be on track to reach 190 by June 20th.
Still I fear that the quick weight loss is behind me. I have started getting myself taped. I will shoot for a taping every Saturday. This was done around midnight last night.
I ran a four+ today, time doesn’t look good but I did hit 4 major lights. I was kind of glad to get them though. I felt weak when I was running and needed those mini breaks, my time 49:41.
Weight: 248.2
Yesterday I tried something new for my second workout. I still ran my 4+ in the morning, but in the afternoon I tried a workout video.
I expected it to be hard but expecting and experiencing are different animals. I did get my butt kicked. Today my muscles are all sore. It is a good type of sore, because I worked out some muscles I don’t normally use. I am going to get the title of the video and post it here but I want to get a copy of it myself. It is from Jillian Michaels.
I started my 4+ today a little sore, but I had a decent time, 47:07. I knew I had a chance to crack 250 today so I added another 2 mile walk.
When I got home, I weighed in with all my workout clothes and it came to 256.0. Oh my, I knew it was going to be extremely close. I think Tuesday I will buy another bag of rice for my desk.
I have a good feeling on this upcoming 5 month line.
Weight: 250.4
So I kind of wanted to test something out. I want to prove that you can rig the weigh in so that you can lose more than 5 lbs in a week.
How am I doing this? Today is Monday and I am weighing in at night, after dinner, hours from my workout. I am wearing only three pieces of clothing as usual and I have not tampered with the scale. I did drink a bunch of water so you can say I am really hydrated.
I will compare my weight against a Saturday weigh in.
On another note, I ran on the treadmill today, I had a most excellent run. I actually ran at 6 MPH consistently. I probably could have run the entire thing at 6 MPH. The run alone burned 315 calories in 15 minutes. I then did the bike for 20 minutes and burned another 265 calories.
I had a light breakfast consisting of oatmeal, yogurt and an apple. Lunch was 1/2 a Subway foot long sandwhich.
Dinner was Chicken Papaya Soup w/ rice.
Weight 258.4
This is probably the worst rain I have run in. The rain should have slowed me down, I was cold, my feet was sweating, still I made record time.
Time 45:07
Also added a milestone category.
Really disappointed in my weight. That 250 truly is a beast to be reckoned with. An seemingly insurmountable mountain. I need to destroy it.
Posted this Sunday, came back from my run and noticed I did not hit publish.
Weight: 254.4
