So, rather short post here, but, today is the weigh in day. A week ago I started this in the hopes to turn my life around. Not go on a diet. Not loose 15 pounds by June. But, to change my life. To examine how I operate and fix what is broken.
These were my stats last week, 27 April 2012:
Weight: 273.5 lbs
Waist: 52"
Approximate BMI: 38%
Oh, before I give my new stats I'll give you my "run" reports for yesterday, 3 May 2012, and today, 4 May 2012.
Thursday - 3May12 Friday - 4May12
Time: 30:17 Time: 31:11
Distance: 2 miles Distance: 2.03 miles
Pace: 15:07 min/mi Pace: 15:23 min/mi
Both walks went well (today the winds were really buffering me on the last 15 minutes of the walk, hence, the slower pace) and I think I'll try out the run plan next week. Speaking of plan, here is the new and improved 2nd phase of my back to running plan courtesy of this site, here.
- Walk for 4 minutes. Run for 1 minute.
- Repeat that sequence four more times.
- End with 4 minutes of walking.
- Total workout time: 29 minutes, 5 of which are running.
I'm going to do this three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I might introduce a little weight training on the off days, but, that's a topic for another day. I tried throwing a little jogging in today's walk and it felt pretty good, so, I think I'll be good to go on Monday as long as I take it nice and slow.
And now for this weeks stats:
04 May 2012:
Weight: 266.5
Waist: 51"
Approximate BMI: 37%
So, there you go, 7 pounds, an inch, and 1 percent gone the way of the buffalo. I realize the big decrease here is probably from water weight and my body shocked from the sudden onslaught of activity and better eating. I can still do a little happy dance though.

Whoot! Whoot! Keep it up.....the kids and I will dance for you too! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood job Louie! Seriously that's great! Keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteIn the respect of full disclosure, the PB&J monster bit me in the butt this evening. Drats.
ReplyDeletecongrats, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteNicely done!! So, I have a snacky suggestion for you: sliced cucumbers and green peppers. Both are fairly inexpensive and crunchy, so they satisfy a munchy craving. Eat them with fat free ranch or plain. I actually prefer them plain; I think they have great flavor on their own! Christian and I keep several of each on hand and sliced so we can just grab them for a quick snack.
ReplyDeleteAlso, good call on the blog. That's a great way to keep up with your goals! Plus, I like reading it :) Very proud of you, cousin!
I know I'm on the late train here but forgive me it's finals week! Congratulations on the weight loss!! P.S. I love PBJs too, I get the uncrustable sandwiches for little kids and eat those, I get less calories that way because I'm a fiend with the peanut butter spoon.
