This week's loss 0 lbs

Total loss 27.1 lbs

Well my weight stayed the same but body composition changed down some fat up some muscle mass according to the wyze scale. Had the stomach bug the beginning of the week and lost 3 pounds in 2 days then ate it all back the next day when I was able to eat again. Felt completely drained from Being sick and missed some work out days but still got 4 days fo lifting in and hit 96k steps last week. HaD my first cheat meal yesterday too at a family get together
 
Starting weight 216 lbs. (12/30)
Fighting weight 195 lbs (4/1)

209 … scale is moving in the right direction again. Just not drinking beer makes such a difference for me. My back is feeling a lot better too. I’ve been ramping up my rides but gym time is taking a hit. I guess this is the way.
 
no scale - but just went running 3 days in a row, and spent about 10 hours standing on a boat.
always a good workout. doing ok with food and beer now.
went to Fantini's in PSL - David Portnoy gave it a 10 (i think) - damn good.
 
Last two weeks have been stagnate. I don't think I plateaued, just more so not being as tight in control and while busy moving around at work and in the garage on the weekends, need to find more time to ride. 4 weeks left to drop my goal of 20lbs. 3/4 of the way there.

Been a while since I have updated. I'm in a bit of a bad loop. It seems that I have some lingering effects from covid that I wasn't fully aware of so any hard efforts are off the table for a while. Because of that combined with some stressful things at work and home, I'm in a bit of a funk and I tend to get a little self destructive when I feel this way. Nothing serious but because I can't exercise and I am stress eating I am heavier than when I started this. Needless to say I'm not going to hit my goal weight by my set deadline. Hell, I can't even ride bikes at all right now unless it's just puttering around the block like an old guy. I know this isn't permanent but it means I'm out of the game until this clears up. Hopefully I'll be back by summer.

Jump back on. Pace yourself. No sense beating yourself up. Allow yourself to get better while making small changes.
 
Friday update. I’ve been pretty good this week. I’ve had a couple extra snacks as my body has been hungry after the efforts this past weekend at the races. I feel like I’m settling back into my regular diet and exercise pattern.

Starting weight: 206.4
Monday weight: 179.2
This morning: 173.6
Goal weight: 165

I have a little less than a month to hit my goal. It’s looking good, and if I actually get there it’ll be completely amazing and life-changing!

E2M program Round 1.5, Week 0, Day 6

Diet
This week is called Week 0 as it's a break between rounds. Chose to use Week 2 meal plan because a fruit serving was allowed with each meal. A 2nd cheat meal was also included this week so wife and I had dinner with my parents at our favorite cafe. Beer, scallops and Key Lime pie. Sunday will be having PEC on a bagel for breakfast. Oh yes, we thoroughly plan our cheat meals.

Exercise
Did Wk2 circuits and spin bike sessions. Picked up a set of Bowflex adjustable dumbells at Costco because strength is returning and will be needed for Rnd 2. Going for a ride on the rigid SS this morning to test the thumb. 1st ride since Halloween.


Weight
1/2/22 Starting weight = 235.4
3/5/22 Current weight = 204.4
Diff: weekly down 1.8, total lost = 31
Finally reached my 8wk goal, a week later. Monday officially starts the next 8wk round and I'm shooting for another 15-20lbs by April 30th. With more consistent circuits, adding some extra credit workouts and riding, should have no problem. Will need to shop for clothes soon. Size 40 pants are looking baggy, and the 38s are already feeling loose. Need to shorten my belt again.

E2M program Round 2, Week 1, Day 6

Diet
Back to the regularly scheduled program. On point with food. My body is pretty much used to I.F. now. Drinking 1gal H20 a day, and look forward to having flavored black coffee. No added sugar, dairy, grains and alcohol only with weekly cheat meal. This week's cheat meal is a local Thai restaurant, 1st visit, and then stopping at the local to have a pint or 2.

Exercise
Followed the plan circuits M/W/F and spin bikes session T/Th/Sat from Time Crunched Cylist. Increased dumbell weights this week as the thumb is getting much better. Was able to do push-ups during a circuit and got out last Saturday for an outside bike ride on the rigid SS. Took it easy, but pretty satisfied with how the hand/wrist/thumb handled it.

Weight
1/2/22 Starting weight = 235.4
3/12/22 Current weight = 200.2
Diff: weekly down 4.2, total lost = 35.2
I'm actually kind of giddy this morning with the results. It's been a long time since I've been this weight, to the point I will need to buy a whole new wardrobe. I don't have any skinny clothes. Graduated college in 1990 at around 205lbs. TCNJ was still TSC where I gained 50lbs during my 4yrs there. Can't wait to do a proper mountain bike ride that includes some climbs that always challenged me. Another positive, pretty close to not being a Clyde anymore, and during my mtb racing career, have never been this low.

Wife weighed in this morning as well and down 2lbs, getting real close to her goal.

Week 9

No scale at our VRBO -
6 - 3 mile runs over the last 8 days. It is getting easier, even if i'm not any faster..
Heart rate was lower for the run today - with plenty of headwind to keep the work up.
Garmin watch said I had a new VO2 Max, whatever that is 😉 And Apple Health says my resting
HR is lower again.

Even if I didn't lose any weight, I'll take it as a fitness gain. One more week of vacation!
On Tuesday, I get access to a bike. SS flat handle hipster bike. Haven't been on it in 3 years.
Looking forward to getting a ride in.

Enjoy the snow.

So now that I'm back, didn't lose 20lbs in AK, and have a broken pelvis, I'm not sure what the game plan is here...I've only gone up a pound in 3 weeks despite doing a Pizza Tour of Anchorage. Like everyday we ate at a different pizza place so I could rate AK pizza, surprise, it's terrible 🤣

3/13

1st weigh in today said 184.5, but I’m going with 185.

-3 this week losers! 188 plateau destroyed. -20 since 12/27
We in range. This past week was tough with no gloves. Hopefully I can continue this coming week without frostbite.

Monday recap: Basically, kept the activity and hydration levels up.
Then, starting Monday, everything going into my mouth got ranked on a ±10 scale-- if it's good for me and my weight loss or bad.
-10: booze. Cut that out (mostly😉 no beer til Saturday this week, then had 1. I cheated a little after the weigh in.
Late night snacking was in the -6 to -9 range, so cut most of that out, couple slices of cheese, a choco bar, and the rest was a handful of pretzel nuggets here and there.
Good stuff in the plus range: had some yogurt and fruit, instead of pizza/leftover Chinese food for lunches.
Portion control, normal size pasta serving, instead of 2 plates full; grilled chicken and steamed veggies, you get the idea.
I didn't really feel hungry until Thursday lunchtime surprisingly, but then Thu-Fri-Sat was tough, and I allowed myself to eat some stuff here and there within reason.
I've been downing seltzer water by the liter; seems to help me "feel" full (and gassy!)

Burp On!
