W19D0 - BABC

I did not workout this week like I wanted to.  It was Thanksgiving week and I barely made it out of bed most of the week.  I felt exhausted and run-down and a little burnt out.  I ate like crap Tuesday to Thursday.  Friday I went to Tulsa for the BMX Race of Champions and Grand Nationals.  I got back to the hotel Friday night and had a severe fever and chills and lots of flu-like symptoms.  I'm still not recovered.

I need to get in a lot of working out this week - I'd like to weigh 260 by 7Dec - which is 1 year after I started juicing but 53 weeks after I started logging full-time into myfitnesspal.

I did ok for this week.  I didn't eat excess and I ate mostly ok.  I didn't follow my eating plan the way I wanted to and I didn't workout.  I don't know why I was exhausted all of this week, but I was.

My measurements are down in some areas.  There is fluctuation in others (some is how I measure with the calipers).  I'm very happy with how it's going down.  I'd like to get to 260 or lower in the next 10 days.  In 10 days I'll have logged in to myfitnesspal for 365 days.  Now, next Friday, Sat, and Sunday I'll be at the BMX races in Tulsa so I don't know how well I'm going to do with eating, etc.  I need to plan that, this week, so I can take food with me and just get the boy food.  So we'll see how that all goes.  I will probably workout m-th and then take f,s, and sun off for the races.  My weight has remained the same despite getting smaller in some areas.  That tells me that if I eat correctly, and drink plenty of water then I can drop below 260 by the 365th day of logging in to myfitnesspal - Then by May of next year I'd like to weigh 200 or less.  After I've lost weight, I think then I'll go back to doing workouts like the TRX.  I *might* start doing 2 or 3 days a week of TRX workouts - the 30 min workouts I have.  I don't want to get into working out a lot b/c I get frustrated at starting over and right now I'm having a problem getting to do 30-60 min of walking or stationary bike riding.  I know it'll be easier; right now, I'm just so tired it's hard to imagine it getting a lot easier, you know?

All-in-all I'm happy with my progression.  I wish I'd stayed 260 from mid February and built off of that, however, getting down to this weight (268) slowly is better and staying off longer.  I may do an all out push this week and try to knock myself down to 259 -- that'd be glorious.

Well, it's taken all of last week to get back to where I was from the week before.  I had multiple vet lunches and dinners with people.  I ate bad for 5 days or so.  I still haven't given in to a soda - I'm quite happy with that.  However, last week was a downer for me.  I went from 268 on the 6th to 278 by the 12th.  I knew most of that was just the food I was eating b/c my measurements hadn't gone up - that was the only reason I didn't fall back and hit a "fk this sht if I can't do it then i'm just gonna be fat" kind of depression.  However, I didn't workout at all last week.  I did try on some of the tshirts I have bought over the last year and a half and many of the XLs fit pretty well now.  I also hit a point Friday morning where I was sure I was going to die.  I had something hit me hard - then it went away by about 3 friday afternoon.  I thought it was going to come back last night, but this morning I woke up feeling great.  it could've been allergens (Friday mold was really high).  i'm going to attribute it to eating all of that processed food last week.

This weekend, I got back to eating the way I planned and I feel much better today.

I have a goal to do at least 30 mins on the stationary bike or elliptical each day this week.  I'd rather walk out at OTC for an hour, but today and tomorrow look like rain is coming so maybe wed, thurs, fri I'll walk.

Week 16D0 - BABC

this last week I've eaten out twice - once at an all you can eat japanese buffet (I cleaned them out) and the second at a pizza place.  Both were planned events.  Tonight I'm going to a BBQ.  All-in-all, I'm down to 268 (2 pounds for the week) - total weight loss since Feb 14 is 29 pounds (started at 297+).  And total weight loss in the last two months is on track at 18 pounds.  I hope to see 260 in the next week, but it may take until dec 1st.

I put in my measurements and I'm at 28% bodyfat - that's down from 36% since dec of last year.  My waist has gotten even smaller AND I found out that I have baggy skin on my knees - different, but not like saggy skin lol.

overall, measurements have dropped steadily - the most noticeable were the caliper measurements that dropped by quite a bit this last week.

I feel really good.  Still pushing about 1200 calories a day, walked 3 times this week - didn't get as much exercise in as I wanted to - and I drink about a gallon of water a day.  Still no soda since Sep 23rd when I had the final 20oz Dr Pepper for breakfast.

This last week went really well. I did eat processed foods Fri nite and Sat night... I had Sonic Grilled Chicken sandwich an A1 steak burger thing at BK and a reeses peanut butter cup pie (the first sugar like that I've had since sept) I'm still restricting my intake to 1200 a day - though, I did go over one day. I got zero walks in last week, though I did get a couple of bike rides in and yesterday I played hockey (on inline skates) with lucas for about a half hour. My "fatboy" underwear just fall off now and my 44 pants that were tight a couple weeks ago are now pretty loose. I used to want to lose weight fast, bc I'm fn impatient. Losing 2-3 pounds a week is ok with me now, b/c being fat is killing me slowly - so instead of making a bunch of big progress and then gaining it back, I'm ok with losing it as slowly as I gained it. I am going to ramp up my exercise this month and make it a priority every day instead of whenever. My only goal is 260 by Dec 1 - I was hoping to see 260 by next Sunday. I do not see that happening, and I'm not disappointed about it.
