I feel like the rest did me good. Its weird… I feel like the scale has been shifted by 4 lbs. For now I will accept the weight for what it is. I do feel bloated and heavier.
I looked into a balance scale, the kind that doctors used. It was pricey, couple hundred dollars. I saw one on ebay for 159.00. I’ll consider it.
Weight: 287.0
I been pushing pretty hard lately so I think I’ll cut my body some slack and rest it a bit today.
This morning I did try to run a 1+1 but ended up doing a 1/2 + 1/2 because I had to use the bathroom again.
It’s OK I will still get my 10000 steps in because I still have to walk to the bus stop which adds 2 more miles. Also will add some pushups and situps later.
Tomorrow I may do the same workout I did yesterday which is a 1+1 in the AM, 1 hour gym, and a +2 evening.
Thursday I will go in late because I have to stay late which will make a 1+3 appropriate.
Friday I will do the same workout as Mon and Wed this week.
I am not too worried about my weight, I know it can drop with a good long workout and a drank a lot of water yesterday.
Weight: 287.4
I pushed pretty hard yesterday evening. It was one of those penalty walks. Basically I did a modified 1+3 where I went down the hill a bit more and ended up walking 2 miles uphill.
Anyway, I won’t change what I have scheduled today which is a 1+1, gym, and a 2 mile walk. But I will give myself a break tomorrow. I really don’t feel I deserve it but I am going to change the pace for 1 day. Basically tomorrow I am going to do an am 1+1 and give it a rest.
Weight: 288.0
What else describes my state.
Yesterday was a pretty good day. But I did go to a party and ate a bit, also last night I drank a large screwdriver and kind of snacked while watching Star Trek movies.
I woke up weak and tired from drinking, not hungover though. I also woke up late and my body could not get going.
My run was horrible, I still felt a little tipsy when running.
Anyway, tonights workout I will pay dearly.
Weight: 288.4
So time for a little reflection since I am closing in on the 1 month mark.
First off, after today’s weigh in, I am losing about 2.9 lbs a week. I hope to sustain that (or even exceed it) at least till my son gets back from Hawaii in exactly 3 weeks.
Second, another thing I am noticing is that I am ignoring other aspects of my life, my finances and my business. I do still give time to my family. But at some point I am going to have to return time to other parts of my life.
Third, I sleep well. No need for ambien.
Finally, I been going hard, I wonder when I will have to let my body really rest and get a chance to heal.
Today’s workout was good, I did a 1+3 again. I recall somewhere that longer workouts burn fat. I am researching it more to see what the best course is to burn fat.
For now
Weight: 283.8
I don’t know if it was the good sleep or a good meal the night before (I did kind of eat more than usual but not till I was full) but I had a good run this morning. I think this is the fastest I have run my mile since I started this blog. I may start wearing a watch to track my mile.
Anyway feeling good about myself. Weight is disappointing but I didn’t expect it to stay low.
Weight: 285.4
So I did a 1+3 today and seems like I am slowing down a bit. What worries me is that I’m already losing that drive. But being worried may be a good thing… its when if I truly start to not care that is when I go downhill.
Then I jumped on the scale and saw this… I am motivated again.
Weight: 283.6
Today’s run was crap and yesterdays gym workout was not all that spectacular.
Also I am starting to notice my weight hovering around 286. I think I need to do something drastic to break this number.
Still thinking… but will keep you posted.
In the meantime
Weight: 286.0
What a tough morning run. I feel like my legs did not want to go. I did not use my inhaler this morning, but I am starting to think that I may need it to get oxygen to my muscles. Years ago I tried ephedrine which opened up my lungs and got my heart beating. I think you need a prescription for it today.
Anyway, I still got a gym workout and an evening walk still ahead of me. Tomorrow I am considering a 1+3.
Weight: 286.8
So I have today off, but I still woke up early to run. I did another 1+3 but in this case I almost did 2 miles. I was probably a quarter mile short.
Anyway, I didn’t think I could top my last run, but I was able to run/walk the 4 miles in 70 minutes. Yes you speed demons probably can do it in 40 minutes or less. But I am pretty big. I recall being able to do the 4 miles on my lunch break.
Also my son leaves for Hawaii tomorrow and will be gone for about 3 weeks. Highly unlikely but wouldn’t it be awesome if before he gets back I will be at 275. Still I’d settle for less than 280.
For now
Weight: 286.0
