Sorry this is late, but checked in this week at 256lbs, down 11. 21 more to go. Meanwhile, the waves in Hawaii are supposed to be legitimately the biggest in quite a while. It is supposedly going to even be bigger than the 1969 swell. Hoping to check it out Monday when it lands and The Eddie hopefully runs. Aloha
Happy Thanksgiving and Day-After-Thanksgiving! It’s been a good week as far as the diet is concerned, I’m definitely noticing a difference in the way I eat, and in the portions I choose. It’s a small thing but it’s exiting for me to see real changes happening in my habits and in my weight and appearance. Anyway, I weighed in this morning at 257lbs, which is down ten pounds total. Again this week, I weighed in at that weight early in the week and kept consistantly at it through the week. In other news, my father in law, Bob, is rocking our faces off and as of last week he was down 19lbs. Congrats to Bob and any others who are working at this, stay strong through the holidays and let’s come out of this thing lighter on the other side.
Sorry that this week’s update is late. I actually weighed in on time and posted a nice 259. It was doubly nice because I weighed that on Monday. It is nice to begin to see a little more consistancy. As I write this I am preparing for the second thanksgiving feast in as many nights and I just posted a nice 258 on the scale. How’s the weekend and process going for everyone else? How is the thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year season outlook?
Hey everyone, back home in Hawaii and getting back into the swing of things in terms of my diet and exercise. Was pleased with my weigh-in this morning, rocked it at 262 lbs, exactly 1 pound more than I weighed a month ago. It’s a good thing I’m making all this progress ’cause Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up and all the eating that goes along with the next 2 months is staring down the tunnel at me. Thanks for reading and for those who are also shrinking, stay strong as we hit this wall!
I was checking out my YouTube and saw that David Crowder* Band posted a music video for the song “How He Loves,” I checked it out and loved it (big surprise) and thought I would pass it along. DC*B/YouTube won’t allow embedding so here’s the link. go check out “How He Loves,” in HD. Enjoy
PS. I finally get to see these guys live again (it’s cooler this time ’cause I’m now an uberfan, before I only liked them alot), when they perform the worship concert at Hawaiian Island Ministries Honolulu Conference, March 4-6 2010
Well, we are now at the 8 week/2 month point and at weigh-in this morning I was again at 265 lbs. Our vacation was awesome and we had incredible time/meals with our families, and I am thankful I was able to stay at 265 lbs. My calorie budget is still at 261, so hopefully I will start to drop back down with more workouts and abiding by my calorie budget.
so there are the raw numbers, it’s been 2 months and I’ve lost 2 lbs. bummer, but reason to be hopeful.
At the end of our second vacation week I just weighed in again at 265. Not great but atleast I didn’t gain anymore. Also of note, I finished last week’s post by saying I was going for a run. Well, that run felt like it was trying to kill me; my legs did great but my lungs felt like I had asthma. I think it was a combo of cold, dry air and me being a little sick. My runs this week have gone much better.
Well, week 6 is a doozy. It finds us smack in the middle of vacation where we are eating differently and have little opportunity for exercise. I weighed 265 at a 2:30 pm weigh in and I am about to go get a quick run in. On a positive note, last week right before we left I made it down to 261. But now I’m back up. Oh well, off to run.
This week was sort of a rough week. I was only able to get to the gym once, and I spent Thursday having one of the most unhealthy eating days ever (even though I miraculously only went over by about 150 calories). I started today with a massive 2 hour dawn patrol surf session with a few friends for Craig’s birthday. I weighed in after I got back from that (and ate breakfast) and posted an encouraging 263lbs. So after 5 weeks I have lost 4 pounds (close to my goal of 1 a week) and have about 26 or so to go (though my technical goal means I have 23 to go, I would like to end up down below 240). We are heading on vacation Sunday and that should make this whole process a little more difficult but “Lose it” is really helping a ton and I hope to keep it up.
This week is one of highs and lows. Earlier in the week I consistently weighed 265, though today, after a rough Thursday I weighed 267. Thursday was rough because I think I am getting sick and for some reason I could not feel full after eating my healthier dinner. Anyway, sans that rough spot yesterday I gave been doing well and have already adjusted my weight to 265 so my calories are also adjusted. Hope the others are faring better on this Friday. Aloha
