Curious how my weight fluctuates

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

I am curious on how much my weight changes over the course of a day.

At 1:23AM I weighed in at 254.0 before going to bed
At 8:45AM I weighed in at 252.4 immediately after waking up
At 9:20AM I weighed in at 250.4 After Bathroom
At 9:25AM I weighed in at 251.4 After Medication
At 11:20AM official weight See Below After my morning workout
At 8:32PM weighed in at 250.8 After coming home from Tulip Festival

I ran what I felt was a pretty good run for a 4 plus but the time did not really represent how I felt when running.
Time: 47:59
I truly felt I was running faster.  It was colder, so I was wearing more clothes, I am slightly heavier because I did fast (not eat) on Friday, also this was more of a morning run vs an early evening run.

I started my run at 9:55AM but it was a 1 lap, I started my official run at about 10:11AM (estimate), as mentioned above my official timed run was 47:59, a glanced at the time when I finished my run and it was about 11:01, and I was done at 11:17:59 let’s just say 11:18 AM since the entire run was not off stopwatch.

So my total workout for about 6.823 miles was done in 83 minutes, which is slightly more than a 12 minute mile.

Here is the route http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3625473

No too shabby at all.  Also I guess I have met the weight loss criteria.

Weight: 247.8

Starting Two A Days

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Maybe…

I did an early morning run of 1 and 1/2 laps while walking the final 1/2 lap.  It was tough to get my body going.  Also I have a gym workout this afternoon.

I am looking to see if I can fit it into my schedule on Tuesdays and Fridays since I drive to work.  I would also like to work out in the morning on Thursdays.

Still need to work on my marathon training schedule.  Maybe I will hit it this weekend.

If I can keep my weight under 250 after tomorrow’s workout, then I would say I am officially back to the shape I was in early December.  It is amazing that it took 4 months to completely heal.  I have no more excuses.

Weight: 249.4

Well deserved rest day

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Whoa, after accomplishing some major I needed a little bit of wind down.

This one was well deserved.

My body kind of needed a break but more so my mind.  After a crazy day yesterday, I needed a breather.  So I jogged a slow 1 lap and walked another.

Feeling real good.  Think about this, so far this month I have weight over 250 twice.  I feel something special.

Weight: 248.2

I had a bad day

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Today was a crappy day, I was mean, I kept getting interrupted for BS reasons, one of my hard drives crashed.

Geez, I need this day to end.

But I did channel some of that anger into a pretty aggressive workout video.

I need this day to end though, start afresh tomorrow.  Tomorrow is a light day and I need it.

Weight: 249.2

Gym workout is not so bad

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

I worked out in the gym today.  I was expecting a rough workout because I had such excellent workouts the past few days, so I thought I was on the tired low side of things.  But what got me through was the excellent sleep I have had the past few days.

I guess the triangle of Workout – Nutrition – Rest does matter.

I am surprised at my weight as well, thought it would be higher.

Weight: 249.8

Can’t seem to break 250

Monday, April 5th, 2010

I switched my 1000 calorie workout from Wednesday to Monday.

So I burned 1110 calories also felt really weak.  Recall I had some good workouts the past few days.

I would say today was a good workout as well.  Tomorrow will be a less but still pretty hard.

Still can’t break 250.

Weight: 251.4

Wow, nailed it

What an Easter Gift.

I am getting faster.  Also I think a warm up walk of 1 lap does the trick.

A new 2 lap record.  I really did feel my legs flying

Two Lap: 23:37.72

What a super run.  I was breathing well (thanks to a generic claritin) and I wasn’t too tired from yesterdays excellent run.

At first I was getting nervous cause I felt some pain in my left foot creeping in.  Still this is official and a record.

Another cool thing today is I can eat meat again.

As for the weightm 1 more day then I am officially under 250.

Weight: 249.0

Awesome Sleep + Awesome Weight = Awesome Run

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

After days, almost 2 weeks of weird sleep, last night I finally got a good sleep.

I did a warm up walk of 1 lap then I started my run which I timed at 45:54 which is pretty darn good considering my record is 45:07.

I ended up with another lap.  I know I started at about 5:15PM and I completed at about 6:45PM.   I think I lot of time was in the first lap but I did nearly 6.5 miles (maybe more) in 90 minutes.  Double that and I will have done the half marathon.

As for my weight, oh so close to the 246.6 record.

Weight: 247.0

Good Friday

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

I fasted today.  The only thing I had was water and The Host from church.

Since I did not eat, I have eased off on my workout.   Really light one today.

I was feeling really weak at work but I got my second wind now.  In a few hours it will be Saturday and I will get something to eat.

Also, in less than 36 hours, I will be able to eat meat again.  A lot of people are expecting me to eat a big fat Juicy steak.

Stay tuned.

Epic Exhaustion

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

OK maybe not epic, but this is one of those rare times that I just had it.  I got home did a few things then had this huge huge headache.

Not as bad or worrisome like the one I mention in the about section of my blog.  But so brutal I stopped and went to bed.

That was about 7PM, got up at 10:45 and feel so much better.

Had a decent workout in the gym today though.  Tomorrow will be intresting and can’t wait to report on it.

Weight: 250.8
