Status Report: Week 10

Dec 152009

Progress Report: Week 10
Weight: 247.2 lbs
BMI: 35.5 lbs
Weight loss so far: 2.8 lbs gain since last week, 17.8 lbs loss to date

For a few hours last night, I was wrestling around with some pretty horrible thoughts last night.

  • I have been slacking off on my calorie watching and am still losing weight, so I’m going to eat whatever I want tonight and not worry about it.
  • And even if I did gain weight, it happens to everyone, and I haven’t had a gain yet.  What’s it going to hurt?

Dinner last night was pretty bad (KFC, ’nuff said, right?)

Do I feel okay with this weigh in, since this is my first gain in 10 weeks.  F*ck no!  What’s it going to hurt?  About 3 weeks of progress.

I got cocky, and now, not only do I feel crappy and run down because I still a crap load of food flowing around in my system (ate pretty late too), but I feel like an idiot for trying to justify and rationalize it.  Thought’s like that are what let me got up to 265 pounds in the first place.

With that said, I am going into this week with a renewed vigor.  Despite this gain, I want to set my sets on getting down into the 230′s by year end.  I would LOVE to be at 235, but I will be okay with the 230s.

Have a good day, everyone, and stay away from KFC.

Marathon Week: SUCCESS!

Dec 092009

We did it.

We pushed ourselves to our limits and beyond.  We braved the cold, we ignored the pain, we cursed (or at least I did), and we did it.

The Marathon Week Challenge. Is. Over.

WooT

The results:

  • Myself: 40.09 miles completed
  • Kate: 26.9 miles completed
  • Karyn: 26.44 miles completed
  • Jessie: 26.21 miles completed
  • Craig: 20 miles completed
  • JetJaguar: 18.19 miles completed
  • Ron: 14.23 miles completed
  • 46and2: 2 miles completed

Everyone did a FANTASTIC job, but extra special kudos go out to the lovely Kate, Karyn, and Jessie, who completed the 26.2 miles with all sorts of awesome. I would also like to call out Craig, who whined said (jus’ kidding :-P ) REPEATEDLY that he wasn’t ready for the challenge.  Yeah, 20 miles isn’t anything to scoff at my friend, you TORE IT UP!

So once again, congratulations everyone!  You’ve succeeded at a pretty lofty goal, and have given myself and countless others further motivation for our journeys.

Ya’ll ROCK! :)

 

There will be more challenges, that is pretty much a given.  This was an awesome experience and I beamed with pride every morning I logged in and saw the total miles increase. I just don’t know what those challenges are yet, hehe.

In the meantime, if you are starting a challenge (and if you aren’t, you should! It’s awesome) lemme know and I’ll sign right up!  Or if you have a challenge idea for me, feel free to hit me up.

Have an awesome day everyone.  Nurse your sore legs, sit back and relax, and savor your victory.

Status Report: Week 9 // Marathon Week: Final Day

Dec 082009

Progress Report: Week 9
Weight: 244.4 lbs
BMI: 35.1
Weight loss so far: .6 lbs since last week, 20.6 lbs to date

Yeah yeah, woohoo, or some sh*t like that…basically, that weight loss is from my hair cut (it was ALOT of hair).

SEE?!

 

I’m really conflicted this week about that reading.  I was worried that I wasn’t going to lose anything this week, because my scale has basically been hovering between 245 and 248 the entire time.

But then I lost, so thats cool and all…but…half a pound (.6 to exact)?  COME ON!  I am glad I lost, and I know that ANY loss is a good loss, but COME ON!  I’ve been working my ass off this week…WTF!

I can’t claim total ignorance for this though, as much as I’d like to try (or blame ninjas).  The diet’s been a little off, and I haven’t been tracking my food (like I haven’t been doing for a while, but say that I’m going to start, then don’t…ugh) like I want to be.  I don’t feel my diet has been as off as Thanksgiving week, but whatever…my body is a mystery.

Regardless, I still lost, so I guess it is WooTworthy.  Scale, you better be nicer to be next week, or I’m gonna be so mad at you!

In OTHER news…

Today is the F I N A L day for Marathon Week!  The technical difficulties (ie..me being a dumbass) are over and done with, so WooT to that, and everyone is posting AMAZING NUMBERS!  So far Jessie and I are finished (but I bumped my goal up to 40 miles, so I still have a bit to go), and most everyone else are coming into the home stretch.

WAY. TO. GO!!!11!!!1!

I know everyone is probably hurting right (at least, I know I am), but we are almost done, and everyone is SOOOOOOO close!

I like these challenges, and I know I will be doing more in the future, just not 100% sure what.  If anyone has any ideas, that’d be cool…OR…if anyone is starting up their own challenge, lemme know and I’ll be right there to join ya!

Have a WooT day, everyone!
