Jell-O is my homeboy
Was grocery shopping yesterday and picked up some Jell-O, and that’s a great little thing to have in your arsenal. With the sugar-free kind, it’s only like 10 calories for the whole box. We made it with diet Sprite instead of water (per the box’s suggestion), and it was damn good. Kinda filling too, actually. Pure […]
Bonus results
I just went to the doctor to have the results of my cholesterol blood tests read. My cholesterol was outstanding. Overall it was 167 — with the HDL (good cholesterol) being 51 and the LDL (bad cholesterol) being 117. The doc said these are fantastic numbers. I doubt they’d have been that good a month […]
More Progress
I am down to 277 and still moving in the right direction, albeit slowly. With all of the time away from home it has been difficult to establish any momentum. The last few days (since I got my lights back on) I have been able to get into a good rhythm both with my eating […]
Flirting with 200
Weighed in at 200.5 this morning, for a loss of 2.5 pounds. An ideal week, if you ask me — good eating, 5 nights of good Stairmaster work and even a 9-ounce filet and a few bites of chocolate cake for my cheat meal, and still lost 2.5. Not bad!
I’ll start the weights today or […]
Metabolism kicking in
Hot damn. Another good week. I weighed in at 202.5 just a minute ago. The work outs have been great and the eating has been good. I’ve recently upped my calories to 1700-1900 a day and it’s good to see the weight still coming off. I think it’s the light weight training and the boost […]
Another decent week
In the gym, I worked hard early in the week and slacked off late in the week. Ate very well all week, though. It paid off with a 213 weigh in. I’m, just fine with that, although little disappointed because I weighed yesterday and was down to just above 212. […]
It’s Weigh-In eve…
and while I don’t think I’ll be coming in under 200, I hope to shed at least two pounds, which would put me at 201 and half my goal. Did 45 minutes on the Stairmaster 5 out of the 7 nights this week, always after I’d eaten my last meal of the day. Had a […]
Settling for six inches….
Ahem….I guess I should elaborate on that heading. I had school last night so I had to eat on the fly. I went to a subway right near campus. I would just like to take a minute to say something about Subway. I know they have their own semi-literate massive weight-loss spokesperson and all, but […]
Pedometer
I purchased a pedometer yesterday in an effort to get my activity level up even more. I set a goal of 70,000 steps a week (in addition to the gym) and am using this little bad boy as a means to track and motivate me. So far it has worked. When I need a break […]
Steppin’ to the P.M.
I joined a new gym yesterday that has 24hr access. Nothing against the Y, but with my schedule it makes it impossible to work out for any length of time unless I get up at 5:30 am. I have to be honest, sometimes I did and MOST times I didn’t. This gym is very good. I […]
