Weigh in Week 23

I was sick for week 22 weigh in so I didn’t bother weighing in… I believe that when you are sick you need to focus on getting better, not counting what you are eating. Heck I bet I enough cough drops some days to fill my recommended calorie intake.  The gym was out of the question last week too…  This week I am getting back on the gym routine and this weekend is going to be 80 and sunny so I can’t want to get out…

Weight in Week 8 & More

The last month or so has been a little crazy with lots of overtime, Christmas, vacation, ect.  I have been eating poorly and have got back in the habit of dining out… I have to get back in the habit of cooking at home and making lunches for work.  I also have to get down to the gym and sign up.  So I gained back 8 pounds over the holiday crazyness.  I figured I would see 5 or so…  To gain 8 pounds and have a great vacation is fine by me… Is this the wrong way of thinking?

I am setting some goals for 2009:

1. I want to be at or under 200lbs for 2010
2. I want to be able to run a 10k on new years day 2010

So 80 lbs in 52 weeks, I think that is doable.  If I follow the couch to 5k program I think a 10k is fairly doable… only time will tell.

Weekly Weigh-in

No loss to report this week. I have been eating a little better but not much and exercise part of the plan has been a no go this week.

After Christmas vacation I am going to sign up at the gym and limit my work week to under 50 hours so I can have time to go. I would just go sign up now but with work being crazy till the end of the year and the Florida trip coming up I just would not go…

lose a pound a week…

I read a post about hiking to lose weight it basicaly said burn 3500 calories and you lose a pound.  There is more to it than that.  Your body burns calories no matter what you are doing; sleeping, eating, running, driving, ect.  The number of calories burnt at rest varies person to person but you can calculate it roughly.  First you have to caluclate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR measurements are typically taken in a darkened room upon waking after 8 hours of sleep; 12 hours of fasting to ensure that the digestive system is inactive; and with the subject resting in a reclining position.) to calaulate your BMR use the following formula.
