A 3 year low

Posted by swljuggernaut on April 23, 2010

This will be just a quick little post before i head out to play some darts with my buddy. This morning when I get up I weighed a 3 year low of 210.9 lbs (in boxer shorts). This will not be what I weigh on the scale at weight watchers I am sure dressed of course but I am stoked! I have not seen 210 in 3 years.

I walked 13 km today, cut into walking to work and home 5 km each way, walking on my breaks, and a short walk before I walked to work! I have not done Power 90 yet today, as this am my glutes, hamstrings etc were too sore. I had planned on taking Sat or Sun off anyway so if i don’t get it in today, all good, will just do it both days this weekend.

Been a fantastic week, and the best part its REPEATABLE. I did not do something so outlandish that I can’t maintain or repeat it. 40-50 min workout once a day, walk to work which i have been doing anyway and eating right. This is something I CAN DO. I don’t expect such a big loss in weight each week, but it is something in terms of effort I can repeat. I am physched!

Anyway pics, possibly some comparison measurements, and ww weigh in results will be in the morning. I am hoping to weigh somewhere around 214 on the ww scale tomorrow , but either way, I honestly don’t care! Best Week I have put together in years!

Friday night workout

Posted by swljuggernaut on April 16, 2010

Well last day of vacation (well I don’t work this weekend so I go back Monday).  We are back to winter/spring weather and the summer like conditions was a big tease.  The sun was out today but it was very cold.

I fit in 3 walks today, my last one being the longest, and got a little over 11000 steps today.  After tonights walk with my wife I got in my Power 90 sculpt 1-2 workout and did a little more of the modified pulldowns with exercise bands hanging from my pullup bar. 

Got my weight watchers weigh in in the morning, and I think I will take some full body measurements to see how much I have improved from March 10th when I last took em.  If I take them I will post them here.

Going to watch a movie with the family, will be back in the morning after my WI.

Didn’t eat all my points

Posted by swljuggernaut on March 13, 2010

So today is my first day on the Weight Watchers plan and I didn’t get all my food in. I am not hungry and did not set out to eat less, just the way the day went. I do not think that it will be hard to get all my points in, just didn’t make it today.

I got in an hour walk today and also went and get my blood pressure checked at the local drugstore. It is still up 144/105.

I have been scouring the internet for stuff on Weight Watchers and I am finding that as a man on Weight Watchers I am in the minority. It is mostly men, as evidenced by the 40-1 ratio at the meeting this am, lol. But thats ok. With everything I have seen thus far I think I am going to like the program and I am looking forward to using it to lead me down the road to good health!
