Back...

So, I'm back to my pre-holiday weight.  YAY!

I love the first few weeks of losing weight - And taking a couple months off to eat whatever I wanted seems to have reset me.  It's awesome to see the scale move daily. 

I prefer wondering how I lost 2 lbs overnight to wondering how many weeks it will take to lose a pound.  :)

I still have 2 lbs more to lose before I am back at my lowest weight, but that sh...

An Update...

So, it's been a couple weeks since my last update.

Things are going well.  I've been dieting for 100 days.  I've lost 37 lbs.

I've been on a bit of a break from my earlier really low carb diet.

I was starting to get tired easily.  Getting some extra carbs seems to help in this regard.

A "bit" of a break is probably an understatement. 

I'm still going to the gym pretty much 5 days a week...

Dang Candy...

So, I had some candy today.

I blew the "Low-carb" part of my diet all apart for the day - but really - I'm still down several hundred calories for the day.

In some ways this was a bad thing - but on the other hand - I only had 6 snack-sized portions and I was around candy pretty much all day. So, yeah, this was cheating, but it is still _SO_ much better then how I would have handled it this time last year.

Football Night

My oldest son and I went to a football game tonight.

We ended up parking about a mile away from the stadium.  Normally this would bother me a bit.  Not tonight.  I had to miss a cardio workout to go to the game with him - viola!  Instant cardio workout.  :)

I also smuggled in a little ziplock bag of almonds for a snack - this was a good way to avoid all of the normal goodies that I usually get at sports events - but that ...

What have you given up?

The other day I was exchanging some e-mails and the topic of skiing came up.

Skiing was something I loved as a kid.  I did it every weekend all winter for about 10 years.  At some point I stopped.  Then at some point I was too fat to return to skiing.

In the back of my mind I never expected to ski again.

Now I AM going to ski again.  Maybe this winter.  Or if not, then certainly next win...

Yay - Points!

So, I just noticed - I have 256 points now.

This makes me in the top 5000 out of 349,211 people here at FitClick!

I am 4667 right now and I'm on this page: http://www.fitclick.com/weight_loss_points_leaderboard?page=230

Yes, this is a bit goofy.  But it is a bit motivational too.  :)

Changing up the workout a bit.

So, tonight I changed up my workout a bit. 

I've been using "Starting Strength" for a couple months. 

I think I am going to drop the dead lifts and the power cleans...

After several weeks - I am just not getting the movements correct.  This has resulted in kind of a sore lower back on each of my rest days.

I can't get the "jump/stomp" bit for the power cleans.  It just f...

Getting Soft - Wait - What?

Thursday, October 21, 2010 at 10:35 PM filed under Weight Loss postings
I've been dieting and working out for a couple months.  I've lost a bit more then 10% of my body weight so far.

While some good things are happening - some, well, less good things seem to be happening too.

I'm getting soft.  My belly used to be nice and firm - like a watermelon.  Now, you can literally grab a handful of belly.

I'm getting wrinkly too.  And scars that I once thought were long gone are coming back.  St...

Pain is just weakness leaving the body...

My younger son got a shirt a few months back that said, "Pain is just weakness leaving the body."

I like that.  :)

Lifting weights may make you weird.  I do squats three times a week as a part of my strength program.  I'm really starting to like the "pain" of the weight on the back of my shoulders.  I wasn't loving the squats the first few times I did them, but now I am looking forward to them - p...

New Stuff!

So, I really like rewards.  I reward myself a LOT.  

Probably more then I deserve - but you know...  It's me.  I like me.  :)

So, this weekend I bought a new scale for the basement.  It's one of those that in addition to weighing you zaps you with a bit of electricity and then tells you your body fat percentage, bone density, hydration, etc.

I like it.  I hear that they are REALLY&n...
