W14D0 - BABC

This last week was semi-great.  I ate really well.  I only got two walks in, but they felt great.

As you can see I've dropped a little more size.  I'm excited to drop the size.

This last week has been fantastic.  As a matter of fact, the last, almost, 4 weeks have been fantastic.  I quit drinking all sodas.  I've only had water save a few grape powerades... and by a few I literally mean 3.  I haven't even had a juice.  My eating has been almost perfect as well.  I've had one mcdonalds hamburger and a handful of fries.  That was b/c I forgot to order grilled chicken.  The fries were horrible, BTW.  Everything else I've eaten I knew exactly where it came from b/c I made it.

23Sept I bought two 16 oz Dr Peppers.  I had one about lunch and the other I kept in my car until a few days ago.  My wife drank half of it Sunday.

Alright, enough of that.  For the last few weeks I've been starting work at 5am and finishing about 1pm.  Starting last week, I go straight from the house to the track and walk for at least an hour.  My goal was one hour or 5 miles; whichever I felt like.  I walked 4 days last week and took Friday off b/c I picked up the kids from a half day of school.  I also didn't walk yesterday b/c the kids were out of school, but I did play street hockey with my son for a bit.  I managed 4 miles in 70 min (or about 3.5mph).

Last week's numbers:
12Oct 2.65mi 18:47/mi total time 49:42
13Oct 3.03mi  18:57/mi total time 57:22 6657steps
14Oct 5.32mi 19:45/mi total time 1:45 11693steps
15Oct 3.0 mi 19:15/mi total time 57:42 6593steps
20Oct 4.0 mi 17:45/mi total time 1:10:57 8790steps

I am loving those numbers and loving the improvement.

This was a good week for my weight, workout, eating, and size - not a good week for finances.

I saw a low of 274 this week (probably will again tomorrow - I go through a couple day weight gain then a drop).

My workout this week has been walking for at least an hour (about 3 miles on the OTC trail here in Ozark). I'm on London time for a while so I am off work at 1 and start walking. Then I get other stuff around the house done until the kids get home and then it's racing for all of the kids events.

In the last month I've lost an inch off my chest, an 1.25" off my belly, 1.5" off my butt, and 1.25" off my thighs. My caliper measurements are even showing losses - woot!

It's now been 3 1/2 weeks since I had any soda and I had pizza last night and even had some ice cream last night.

I feel really good. My body doesn't ache. My intestines don't feel bad. My pants are falling off again. Yesterday, I found that one pair of pants had a hole start in them. I found a pair of 44s in my closet and thought I wouldn't fit into them. I did, with room to spare.

Another great week.  Hit another low weight at 277.

I've not had a soda since sept 23rd (+/- 19 days) and I haven't eaten anything from a restaurant or drive thru (save some burgers at the hockey game) either. I've been much better about planning when i'll eat if i'm out of the house. I've also stuck with my eating plan (which isn't like a diet, I could eat this same way for pretty much ever). I'm also drinking between 8 and 16 glasses of water a day. I did have a donut hole yesterday and it tasted like crap b/c I've not had sugar like that since I gave up soda.

That has meant a drop from 284 to 277. It's also meant some additional size drops of about 1/4 inch off my belly and butt. I don't like slow - however, I'd rather do it this way, than fast and regain. I'd also like to continue on the road down to 180ish.

I forgot to post this on Sunday.  I was wrapped up with everything going on from a great Friday and Saturday of "wind therapy."

I'm happy with my progress.  It's not as fast as I'd like, however, I'm also not working out.  I weighed myself Friday night b/c I was pretty excited to be 278 again.  Saturday morning I weighed 277.8 so I was even more excited.

I still have not come around to workout.  I've switched my work schedule to more London time this last week and a half or so.  That has freed up my afternoons for other stuff I've wanted to get done, but haven't had the time for with evenings so rushed.

I think tomorrow, I'll go out to the OTC campus and walk or ride the track for 5miles - that's 4 laps around.  I can do that in about an hour and 15 mins.  I may also do the Feel Good Full Body workout since I'll have time.  Finishing work at 1pm gives me an average of 3.5 hours to get my workout in and do stuff I wouldn't normally be able to get done.

Last note, I've not had a soda since the 23rd of September.  I ate some biscuits and gravy Saturday and I had eaten out Monday at Which Wich and at the Gold Cup Finals I had some hamburger buns and 2 Grape PowerAids.  Everything else has been according to the Bad Ass Body Diet and I've felt great.  Pre-note, tomorrow I'm having pizza with an old friend of mine.

I'll figure out tomorrow's plan.  Each day will get a little faster as I don't have to stop and take breaks in between reps.  So we'll see what happens.

EDIT: well google docs for this is gone.  I'll have to wire up another one.
