As a reminder, here are last weeks stats:
07 October 2013
Weight: 281
Waist: 54
Approximate BMI: 39%
I want to say that hoping back into this has been surprisingly easy. Eating better wasn't too difficult as the food that I was eating was pretty healthy to begin with. It came down to, of course, portion size.
(Who knew this wasn't ok)
Since I have scaled back on the size of things, I have found that I don't need to eat as much as I previously thought I needed. In fact, Manda, Brodie, and I went to the Planetarium at the U of A campus and all I had snack-wise was some broccoli, cauliflower, and a Lara Bar like snack cleverly named 'Mt. Lemmon' Poppy Seed (click here for some cool Wikipedia information on Mount Lemmon).
(These little guys)
And guess what? I didn't starve nor did I over eat once dinner rolled around.
Now, onto the numbers!
14 October 2013
Weight: 275.5
Waist: 53.5
Approximate BMI: 38%
Woot! My healthy eating and extra exercise have started to pay off. That's 5 1/2 pounds, half an inch, and 1% down from last week. Now, I know that these kind of numbers won't happen all that often, so, I gotta love them when I get them.
Run Report
I did a really good, non-painful run today. I actually added some running/jogging in the mix and rocked it. Basically, I walked for four minutes, jogged for one, lather, rinse, repeat, for 30 minutes. This run was done in my neighborhood which is one steep hill after the other. I don't have any numbers on elevation change on hand, but, I'll grab them at some point and post them.
As a reminder, here was last Friday's report

And I'll leave you with today's. Note the awesome.
Monday - 14Oct13

Until next time,

Hey man, glad to hear you're doing this. Looks like you have a solid plan in place. If you ever switch your tracking app from weight watchers, you might check out myfitnesspal. I use it to track all my food and exercise and while it was a pain in the ass at first, it's pretty much second nature at this point, plus I do it mostly from my smart phone. Big community too so no shortage of people you can find on the forums. Add them as friends and it's basically like facebook but for fitness. People commenting on eachothers food log/excercise/walls etc. My username is lolmankey if you ever join make sure to add me. :) Anyway, just wanted to say hi and throw in some words of encouragement. "Easier to stay motivated than to regain motivation after you've lost it." Sounds like you've done the hard part. Good luck man I'll be looking out for updates. -Ernie
