My Weight Loss

A morning run really gets you going, I started a run this morning and I struggled through the first lap telling myself just one.

Then I got going and really felt like doing another.

Unfortunately I did not sleep early and felt the effects later on during the day.

Before I did my evening gym workout I had to close my eyes for a few minutes.

I made it through my gym workout (amazing how much I can bench now) and when I got home, quickly passed out after dinner.

Tomorrow is a 1000 cal workout so I need to catch the first bus out, so I may not be getting the sleep I need again.

Weigh in was done under official conditions, after AM workout and morning bathroom, before breakfast.  I really think this is my true weight.

Weight: 249.4

Not sure why, maybe its the snacking, lower intensity workout, or diet, but my body seems to feel heavier.

I hope it is just bloat.  Spoke to Paul at work today, he said I should cut out rice.  I know that will be really hard to do.

I do feel stronger, healther, and faster.  There is an issue with allergies, possibly pollen.

They scale at work on Wednesday did say 240 and todays scale at home said

Weight: 253.4

At work we have incentives to do healthy things like a Doctors Physical, Quit Smoking, Donate blood etc.

One of those things is to walk 10000 steps a day.   Normally I blow that number away, but today was an off day.  I still think I blew it away though.  If I recall correctly, 2000 steps is a mile, and on a normal day, if I do not include my workout, or walking to the bus, I travel about 4 miles.

Today I did walk to the bus, that’s about 2 miles.  Also I walked to a restaurant which was about 1 mile away, finally in the evening I walked 1 lap, ran 1 and walked another one.  Those laps are slightly more than a mile (1.1)  So I walked over 6 miles today in addition to the 4 miles I normally do.

Not bad for a rest day.

Today’s weigh in is kind of skewed because it was close to after I had dinner (but after I did those 3 laps).  I do feel this weight but I would say I probably am lighter than this.

Weight: 253.0

I had another 1000 calorie workout.  One thing I noticed is that I am really tired afterwards.  But this time I had some water and felt great.

Moral of the story… drink water constantly.

I already knew that but have to practice what I preach.

Weight: 249.6

Hmm, I forgot my MP3 player today and I had to go through a workout without music.  It was more of a mental struggle than usual, especially during the warm ups. 

But as I got in the groove I started feelging better and the workout actually completed quicker.

I was supposed to do a two a day today but what a good workout.  So I will take it.   I usually mention my weight and running times as goals but today I had a spot person for the bench and I did not think I could do 60lbs per side.  So 60*2 + 45= 165.  Also did 185 but just 1 rep with an assist on the second one. 

Although I do not track my weight workout, I can absolutely feel myself getting stronger.

I do not know why I felt stronger, but I did take a protein shake before my workout.

The weight gain does not bother me because I had such a good gym workout.

Weight: 250.2

Slept late last night (actually this morning at 5AM).  I was up doing work and some testing.

When I woke up, I had to take care a bunch of things, like Mow the lawn, wash the cars, fix the garage door.

Also went out to run some errands with the family.  By the time I got home it was dinner time.  I did not work out till late.

My weight after my video workout was 251.0 but it did include dinner.  I will take my weight from this morning though (actually early noon) for my official weight which is more realistic.

Weight: 249.8
