My Weight Loss

Actually, the more accurate statement is I am working my normal workout (Run/Walk in the AM, and 2 mile walk in the evening) even though today is a weekend day.

Basically I am not overworking myself today. 

Today marks 3 weeks into this blog.  In about 10 days I will hit the 1 month mark.  From my progress so far, I will say I am on target to lose 10 lbs for this month which is on the high end. 

In 9 weeks it will be the start of regular season NFL games.  I would love to be in th 260’s by the start.  There is an outside chance I can crack 260 and maybe touch the 250’s.  That will require supreme effort.  As big of a wall 282 is for me.  That 260 one is huge. 

The next one is 240 which I have cracked once this century.  

My wife has never seen me in the 220’s because we started dating when I was in the 230’s, and anything under that, will be just plain amazing. 

The 200 mark is so far away, I can’t fathom how tough it is.  By then my BMR will be so low, that it will be tough triming a pound in a week.

For now… reality.

Weight: 286.6

Yesterday I posted high hopes for this weekend.  Even if everything is a wash for the rest of the weekend, I still feel super good just for today.

Just a side note, before I ran I jumped on the scale and it was 285.0.  WOW!!!

I did my 1+3 which consists of basically a run upill for 1 mile then a walk home.  The conditions were perfect… I was well rested (nice deep 6 1/2 hour sleep), I was breathing well, the weather was not so cold I had to wear a wind breaker, yet not too hot where I would have dehydrated too quickly.  My body cooperated and did not make me use the bathroom halfway through my run.  My pace was good too, the first time I did this route a barely made it before the end of my workout playlist.  Today, I almost beat it by two songs.  If I moved just a wee bit faster I would have.  The only thing I regret was not running the first 2 miles (then wouldn’t it be a 2+2?).

This may be deserving of a single 1+1 workout tomorrow.

I feel good.  Especially after I got my official weight, yeah I acknowledge this will go up, but it puts me really close to that 282 wall I hit last year.   I would love to destroy the plateau before July is up.  I got 19 days.

Weight: 283.8

If you recall last weekend was brutal.  But I work for a good company and they gave me another 3 day weekend to replace the 3 day weekend that broke.  Technically I had a 1.5 day weekend.

Anyway, this is Friday, I have a triple workout today. Run/Walk, Gym, and a Walk.

Saturday 4 mile, with 1 mile run uphill.  I still thinking of a name for that route… maybe my 1+3?

Sunday I am considering just doing a single Run/Walk, but we’ll see how the evening goes.  I may do some sprints.

Monday I would like to do another 1+3.

And Tuesday, another gym day.

Exciting couple of days coming up.

Oh yeah yesterday evening, instead of 2 mile walk I did 3.  I think it paid off, check it out.

Weight: 286.0

I noticed today when I went out to run at 5:15 that the street lights were still on.  Soon I will be running in the dark and have to look at wearing reflective material.

Man what is up with the weight creep.  I ate twice yesterday, I am pretty sure I had less than 2000 calories.  Anyway, still under 290.  Will see what happens when next week Saturday.  I should be hitting weight under 287.

Weight: 289.6

I have today off for a bit so I slept in a bit.  But I did have a Livemeeting regarding that fire at Fisher Plaza today.

When I got up and started my run, I knew I could not dilly dally, so I actually had a nice paced quick run.

Muscles hurt a little from yesterday.  But feels good.

Not too worried about my weight yet.  I think today’s weight is an accurate representation of what my weight should be after 2 and a half weeks.

Weight: 289.2

So I start off my morning run at a pretty good pace.  I am thinking, woohoo, awesome pace.  I got new shoes, there was a slight drizzle.

Then mother nature says otherwise.  She made me have to go to the bathroom near the end of my 1 mile run.

Don’t you hate it.  Also you have that dilemma, “Should I run to beat the clock or do I need to slow down to prevent an accident?”

Tonight I will work out at the work gym.  Also need to do an “Equalizer”.

Finally, weird double post on the yoga.  I guess it takes wordpress a while to save it to the mysql database.
