Biggest loser

My next challenge will be coming up. Vasectomy on Valentines Day. Doc said I should not ride for a week or two. I'll have to play that by ear, but I'll try to get some movement in there whether it's walking or something to keep me active. I'm planning on kicking my ass hard the week before that so I can go into surgery on a rest week.

I was hoping to be able to report this and here goes:

Starting weight 1/3 - 206.4
One month in 2/3 - 185.8
THATS - 20.6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap it's actually working! All through the pandemic I tried to cut food out and lose weight and basically said to myself that I'm no spring chicken, and I won't be able to lose weight like I have in the past. Well I can clearly see that's bullshit! I feel better than ever, am riding much stronger, and with a healthy diet the weight continues to fall off. My goal of 180 by March 15th should be easily in reach by the end of February if I stay on the same track. I've gotta say it makes me want to keep pushing this to see what my body will level off at.

Oh and I've been having a beer each Saturday as a reward since I do miss the taste of beer, I had an extra one Tuesday since I just got a case of good craft beer in and it wrecked me. Not even a whole beer. I had 2/3 of it and had such a bad headache the next day that it reaffirms my choices and my body is telling me to be good.

Ughh this rain isn't helping me sneak in 10k steps will at work. Also bought a wyze smart scale and it's reading 1.5 pounds heavier than my normal scale going to try to calibrate and it with some weights later. My normal one anytime in the past has always been dead on
 
Motivated to keep moving today but didn’t feel like another zwift spin.

Stuck to my commitment to do an off the bike Bodyweight workout today. Did a good warm up and then 5 sets of 3 different core exercises. Then took a short break and did a set of speed rope/push-up pyramid (jump
Rope for 60 secs/ 5 push-ups; jump rope
For 90 secs/ 10 push-ups… ran out of steam trying to do 20 push-ups. (Easy to see on the HR levels). Afterward did some dynamic stretches and foam roller all the indoor spinning making a little more sore than usual.

Have to add some more challenging sets to these workouts it’s harder to get my HR up when im off the bike cause im probably not challenging myself enough.

Didn’t do great on my food choices with a bacon cheeseburger last night but still
Felt good after this workout and I was a total sweaty mess (no selfies ). The almost hour went pretty fast though.

Notice most of the other pics are of me at Power House? I prefer the grimy gym. Although when I'm home I get to grunt and curse, so that's a plus. 😁

I can't do the gym I could never get into it there any time I've had a membership it's just something I pay for and never do anything with. I just ordered a power cage and olympic bar today time to kick the lifting up another notch at home.
 
5 Week Progress Report

Start: 208.3
Current: 194.9
Diff: 13.4
Last week: -1.8
Weekly: -5.9, -1.3, -1.6, -2.8, -1.8
Goal: Low 170s

Two weeks ago, I made an effort to regularly exercise! Last week I made the decision to do one of the Zwift training programs.
It is the wrong one - but so what? Really need something for base fitness, but decided on an ftp booster with hiit. Workouts are around
and hour long. Right now that is the ass-limit on the trainer. It is a 4 week program, and I have 4 weeks before going to Florida - Maybe drop-in on Rick.
Need to pick-up a new pair of trainers, and do some running if I go below 190. Still nothing of interest with the weights.
My thought is as my fitness comes up a bit, doing some arms/shoulders/chest right after the trainer won't seem impossible.
Or move weights to the morning.

Result: I'm hungry!

Keeping snacks low-cal with jerky, and doing well with the meals.
Breakfast helps quite a bit - Usually and egg with some cheese, or greek yogurt (zero fat, plain) will fill me up.
Maybe toss down a couple almonds/cashews while making dinner.

Rolled dry January up to last night and had 5oz of wine with the homemade stuffed manicotti and a salad.
Been getting into the salads lately. Going to fire-up the spiralizer and go with some root veggies.
Beets are good, even if it looks like a crime scene when done.

I like the slow/steady progress after the initial drop.

App sucks as it has no custom date range, or YTD.
Can't pinch or spread either. Trend looks good tho.
