Woooo look at all that Red!

That's pretty. I like red. Red is both tasty, and doesn't wear me out. I can't say the same for green. Green makes me hungry and tired. I like Red better.

So I'm 182.79 this morning. I am confident I'll stay under 183.0 and beat my April 1 goal.

I'm back on the wagon now with a renewed sense of dedication. I enjoyed my hiatus, but now it's time to get back to work. I have a half marathon in 7 weeks or so. I'm also T-minus 26 weeks until Myrtle Beach. Half a year. I expect to be in damned good shape by then. I'm not sure about weight, so I think I'm going to let the weight goals go. When I was 230ish I set a goal of 170. Now that I'm closing in on 180, I can say for sure that I have more than 10 pounds to lose, so 170 isn't low enough. Maybe 160? Looking at my body now, I would think 22.79 pounds off is probably about right. It may be a little low though. 165 might be right. Basically, I don't know. I've never been in shape, so I have no idea.

So... I think for April I'm going to start a new goal program. Instead of weight loss goals, I'm going to go with green consistency. March is completely shot. Assuming I'm good today and tomorrow, it's looking like I'll have:
Lunch: 77
Dinner: 74
Workouts: 65
Total: 72, so a C for the month.

Since I'll have no other goal, I'd like to get an A for April.

Stay Tuned!

March can kiss my ass

Yep... kiss it. Screw it, I don't care LOL! I'm hitting my weight goal for April, so I really don't care about March's grade.

I'll be back on the wagon in April.

Took a last red day yesterday

Took one more red day yesterday. I think I'm up to working out again, but Cathy is sick now and I decided to spend the evening with her.

The good news is, I hit my goal 10-day average of 183.0 today. Now... I have to hold it for 6 days :)

Two more days of red

I was sick as a dog though, so it's not my fault. I'm pretty sure I had food poisoning. It was kinda fun though. According to the scale, I lost just over 5 pounds in 1 day!! Yes I know, that's not even close to real, but it was still kinda neat to see :) I've had two days in a row at 181. We'll see what my weight is after a couple days of eating again.

This is why I had so many reds last week

My nice new 2009 Subaru Forester! Between my car dying, buying this one, and the associated stress... ya, like 6 reds in 3 days. awesome.

BUT! I was 182.8 this morning. Lowest single day yet!

So far so good

I was 182.9 this morning. If that continues I'll be under 183 for April 1.

If I hit 180 I get to think about shaving my goatee. I tried when I was 195ish and it was WAY too soon. That goatee hides a lot of neck and chin :)

I would like to not have it though. Hopefully 180 will mean my neck is skinny enough that I won't look fat without it. We'll see. Worst case, it takes me about 4 days to grow it back :)

Yay a 5 red week

Yay! Most likely pissed away my A for March. Yay! I couldn't help a lot of it. I had a VERY interesting end of last week. My car died Wednesday. I had a concert Thursday night. Had to spend all day Friday buying a new car. Cathy's birthday was on Friday so we went to dinner. Cathy's mom did a birthday thing on Saturday. On and on and on.

BUT! I had my three lowest weights Saturday, Sunday and Today. Today's was the lowest yet, 183.1. My average now is 184.57. I'm still very much on track to hit 183 by April 1. I may even be below that if I keep my current pace up.

Red meal, Rest night

My car died (again) last night, so I was in the shop all night. That meant red dinner and no workout. The workout is still green because I plan to workout on Friday, so last night would just become my once a week rest. If I miss Friday as well, then last night will become Red.

Stupid car. Screws up my mobility, my money, my workouts, etc....

Week 1 in the bag, and I got an A!

Oh yeah. First week of March and I pulled a 90%. I can basically do 2 cheats a week and still get an A. I think I should be able to hit all the workouts, so that would leave me 1 cheat lunch and 1 cheat dinner. Actually, Cathy and I are trying to avoid cheats altogether. I'm finally starting to show some real progress again, and that makes me happier than pizza.

My average is 186.4 right now, but that's due to some pesky 188's hanging around from last week. I was 184.9 on Sunday morning and 184.0 this morning. I am very much on track to hit my goal of 183 by April. Actually, I should be able to beat that goal. I would need to start hitting 183 by mid month to make it. That means I roughly have 1 week to get my daily weight down another pound. Should be doable. Either way, I'm wearing 32x30 jeans today ;)

Report Card

Alrighty here's my new thing. I'm doing report cards for the month. I'm going a standard 90, 80, 70, 60, 50 for A, B, C, D, F. Only have 3 classes; Lunches, Dinners, Workouts.

January:

New weight loss: 7.85 pounds
Green Lunch %: 89% = B
Green Dinner %: 71% = C
Workout %: 96% = A

Net %: 85% = B


February

Net weight loss: 4.25 pounds
Green Lunch %: 79% = C
Green Dinner %: 61% = D
Workout %: 75% = C

Net %: 72% = C

I sucked in February.... March better be better.

Goal Achieved!

Ya baby. I wanted to hit 188 for 3/1. I hit 187.8! Nice....

So, how about 5 more for March? Let's say 183 for 4/1?
