Progress Report: Week 16
Weight: 234.4 lbs
BMI: 34.1
Weight loss so far: 3.0 lbs lost since last week, 30.6 lbs lost total
I have officially lost 30 pounds (a little over) since the start of this journey….SA-WEET! I’m getting more and more excited about these numbers each week, because they mean that I’m getting closer to 220…then 210…then 200…then ONEderland. How cool is that?!
The week consisted of a little less snacking and a bit more strength training (ugh, but still kinda WooT I guess). I’m sure my 6.06 mile run on Friday and my 16.1 mile walk on Saturday helped with matters too.
In addition to everything else, I set some weekly goals for myself too. How did I do with them?
So basically, I got the whole fitness thing down pat, but I need to shift my priorities. I’m not ignorant to the fact that my only somewhat successful non-weightloss related goal was the video game based one (and coming from a guy who barely plays any videogames anymore, thats bad).
Here are my goals for the upcoming week:
- Eight hours of overtime.
- Six hours of study time.
- Complete the initial test for the 100 Pushups Challenge.
- Complete the initial test for the 200 Situps Challenge.
- Complete the initial test for the 200 Squats Challenge.
- Attempt one sitting of Yoga (via the Yoga for Regular Guys DVD).
‘Tis all for now, my friends. Now I have to go to work and junk, ugh. How are you all doing?
Hope you have a great day.
YAY!!!! GO STEVE!!!!

Thanks, Marisa!
Congrats on the loss!!! And especially on the frickin’ awesome week o’ exercise! You are doing so good.
I actually enjoyed Mario Level 8 after playing it a few times. I absolutely love the music on that level! Level 7 is tricky…especially THE ONE CASTLE i’ve been waiting for you to get to that almost made me cry. Ok, it DID make me cry but just a little
Level 8 has falling death rocks, f*ck that noise!
I’ll probably go back and finish level 6 so I can get to level 7, that way I can at least see it.
I think the falling death rocks are only on one world of that level…and like one screen of the next one. The lava part gets reeeallly tricky but it’s neat.
You’re taking care of your bidness Steve. Good work man! Keep it up!
Why thank you, Ryan. Thank you very much.
YAY!!!!!!! Three pounds! Yoga for Regular Guys is awesome! Not that I know from experience or anything (or maybe I do)…
Hahaha…I tried it once…a lllooonnnggg time ago, and it kicked my ass, and THAT was the 50+ (50 years old or 50 lbs overweight DVD)
30 pounds! You are rocking! I like your weekly goals. I think they will help you keep your commitment and focus up.
I’m guessing the blog is helping too!

The blog is definitely helping, as well as the goals
Um, whyever did you walk that far?
I am going to check those challenges out.
I walked that far cuz I’m a bit crazy, and I only had 2 days to complete my challenge (procrastination FAIL!) You should definitely try one of the challenges out!
You’re doing phenomenal, man. I remember when I first dropped 30 lbs. I felt so energetic and ready to take on the world. Enjoy this time, chief. You’re owning it.

Steve, Congratulations on a GREAT loss this week! I just got new running shoes, too, and I’m loving them so far!
Oh yeah? What did you end up getting? I love my Brooks Beasts
Nice job. You really do need to take it one pound at a time. It’s amazing that what seems so slow initially will later seem like it went so quickly.
Thanks, David! I completely agree
I haven’t been to ONEderland in a long time. It sounds like such a wonderful place, and you’re leading the way. Great job!

It’s been a hella long time for me, as well. I’m excited to see what its like now
Very nice, running as much as you did helped a lot I bet.
Good job, I’m about to hit the gym myself, maybe I’ll do a mile of running.
I’m getting there.
