Well, this week I achieved a significant milestone; I broke the 200 lb barrier when I weighed in on Wednesday. My official weight is now 199.0, down 1.4 lbs from the previous week. I’ve been using the same scale (balance beam scale at 24Hour Fitness) in order to get consistent readings. For convenience, we bought a balance beam scale for our office because there are others who are trying to lose some LBS. The bad news for me is that it is running about 1 lb heavier than the one in 24Hour Fitness. This is despite spending a lot of time calibrating it to zero using the poise weights. Anyway, I am going to use it next week because it’s very convenient and I’ll just chalk up any weight gain to the scale calibration technicality! Next week, I am running a 5 mile race in The Woodlands with some friends of mine and the week after that, I’ll be running a 5K when we’re in San Antonio visiting Lara’s sister. Now that the weather is cooler running is actually becoming enjoyable and I am able to re-live my days of being White Lightning on the RSS track team! Many of you have encouraging me along the way and I want to let you know that I appreciate the feedback. My goal is still to be 180 lbs by my 40th birthday, but it’s looking like that might be mathematically impossible (like the Astros trying to make it to the playoffs). If I don’t make it, my next target date will be January 11th, Lara’s and my 18th wedding anniversary.
Good Job Rob
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I lost 35 lbs last year myself. Every step forward is definately a victory!
ReplyDeleteKeep rocking dude! I have lost 30 pounds altogether myself. I did weight watchers with Annessia and have been really working hard to eat a low fat, high fiber diet. I have also been running 4 miles 2 to 3 times a week, doing a bike ride once a week, lifting weights at least once a week, and doing Bikram Yoga at least once a week. It's worked as I have gon from 209 to 179 and I did it before I turned 50 which will happen next month. Egad!!
