Side benefit
As a result of my weight loss and, in turn, my lowered blood pressure, I was informed today that I was FINALLY able to get health insurance after over 9 months of trying. All of the companies had been denying me due to high blood pressure, but that has come down to normal ranges […]
Measurement update
I measured my waist today — I’ve lost 2 1/2 inches from my waist over the last month. My pants are not falling off yet (because I rarely wear any), but they’re getting looser.
Week of hard work pays off
I hit the gym regularly for the first time this week. I usually do a combo of sprinting, then walking for 4 miles total when I go, and I stuck to that for 3 days this week. Then, yesterday, with my satellite dish on the fritz, I went to the gym and put […]
Good news (I guess)
Well, I’m down for the week. That’s the good news. Unfortunately it’s just back to around where I previously was. I tipped ‘em at 221.6 this morning. I guess a loss is better than none at all — but I’m going to be really disappointed next week at this time if I don’t see more […]
Good riddance, Holidays.
I’m glad that this is the last day of the holidays. Although I’ve been pretty good (eating wise), I still have dabbled where I should not have. Those temptations were not around when we first started this, and I’ll be glad that they’ll be absent again.
I had forgotten in my earlier posts that my wife […]
Breaking the Seal
I hit the gym this afternoon for the first time in well over 2 years. As always, the toughest part was getting myself to leave the house and make the trek to the gym. Once I start a workout, I’m okay (relatively speaking). I’m very glad to have gotten the first one […]
The Honeymoon is officially over
Lack of exercise and the holidays caught up to me this week — I gained 1.5 pounds. Up to 222.5. I attribute this to a couple of cheats yesterday (I took my niece and nephew to the movies and they got a large bag of buttered popcorn — my kryptonite), my body finally getting used […]
Primetime
While we’re not quite “prime time” yet, our ideas are. Last night on ABC News Primetime, there was a story about 2 groups of people in a contest to lose weight (I believe they were 2 groups of co-workers). Each person in each group had to lose 15 pounds in 2 months (sissies). One group […]
The Cap’n continues incredible streak
I lost another 3 pounds this week. 221.4 is the official number. It’s not too hard when you realize that you’d been taking in somewhere in the neighborhood of 47,000 calories per day, and then you cut back to a reasonable 1,800 to 2,000 calories per day.
I’m sure in the coming weeks I’ll hit a […]
Cap’n Munch
as in — I didn’t munch a bunch. I lost 7 1/2 pounds this week! Down to 224.5 See my more “in depth” analysis of week 1 on my personal page
