Progress Report: September 7th, 2010
Weight: 268.8lbs
Body Fat Percentage:  35.9%
BMI: 39.1
Weight loss so far: +3.8 lbs

I told you I wasn’t going to lose any weight this week.

So for the time being I guess the blog is going to be called 268.8andfalling.  Another setback in the overall goal, sure, but I had a great weekend and I wasn’t really expecting anything to happen, so it’s all good.  I’m a little confused as to why my body fat percentage dropped .01%, but I know with digital monitors you have to make sure the conditions are identical when you measure so I think I will consider this an approximate.

There was some slacking though workout-wise.  My goals from last week kind of went to the wayside. 

But still, I’m not worried.  It’s a new month, a new season (for all practical purposes) and no more Buffalo Wing Festivals in sight.

I want to focus on some steady weight loss.  A shocking huge number would be nice, in all honesty, but I think if I focus on slow and steady I will have a better shot at keeping it off this time around.

I am once again going to attempt calorie counting, I hope to stick with it, but we will see how that goes.  Between sites like Sparkpeople or Dailyburn, or even just making a note on my phone, I think I can pull it off.

The things I am most excited about it are trying to get back into running, and trying the workouts that Steve has laid out in his new Rebel Fitness Guide.

I got it last week and I’m hoping I can use it to help with the diet, as far as getting into a more focused Strength Training program (instead of just going in the gym and doing whatever).  It’s a great guide with a lot of great information, so if you haven’t checked it out already, then you should.

And…that’s all I got.  There will be no more wings for a while, time to get back on track (again…for the millionth time…).

Don’t give up on me, yet!

Hello, and happy July 4th everyone!

Alot of pretty awesome things have happened on this day throughout history, The Declaration of Independence was signed, Alice in Wonderland was published, Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum helped defeat the alien invasion…

…and I have decided to get my life back…

…again.

For those of you who follow my blog, you know it’s been a pretty rough couple of months.  I resolved to make things better come June, but in the end that didn’t really amount of anything.  While I did have some great times these past couple months, and I accomplished A LOT, I’m afraid I’ve just about gained back almost all of the weight I’ve lost since the beginning (will post the official weight on Tuesday though, as always).

I’m ashamed of that, but I don’t want to dwell on it, and I’d like very much to move forward.  For the past few months I let emotional/boredom/stress eating get the best of me, and overall I did very little as far as working out goes.

But that ends today.  I am declaring my independence from obesity (corny, but go with it) and I am getting my life back.

WooT!

Regular weigh ins will be coming back on Tuesdays (no skipping), and I will be doing more with weekly goals for myself.  I also need to think about my overall goals and what I’d ultimately like to see come out of my life.  It won’t be easy (it never is), and I will probably still have slip ups, but hopefully this time around they won’t knock me completely off track. 

So stay tuned…
