Checking in, 258 this summer and back up 20 pounds!

Hello. Just found the password to this blogspot

I had a good summer weight wise. I got down to 258 again,  seems to be a weight my body can get to with solid effort but then it goes back upto 270s without much effort. LOL

I swam 107 miles this past year and am proud of that.  Some set backs in early fall got me back to eating whatever I want and allowed my weight to come back up. I felt tremendous at 258 and need to keep working at it.

Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming!

Leap Year 2016 - 2020

Well today is 2/29/2016. The leap year day only comes around every four years. Where was I weight wise 4 years ago?

If I want to drop 100 pounds to get to 183 as apposed to 283 that really only boils down to about one half a pound for every week.

That would be about 25 pounds a year. How could I not do that a pound of fat weight supposedly comprises of 3500 extra calories. Divide that in half and you have 1750 calories. Divide that into 7 and you get exactly 250 calories deficient a day to lose 100 pounds in four years.

Two less sodas a day. One less cheeseburger a day. Or even better yet. Break it down to whatever you eat for dinner... Serve yourself and then eat half. Then stop and sit in front of it for five minutes saying to yourself;

"You know what? I am really full." Then throw the rest away. You are then telling your subconscious that you were so satisfied you could waste the food.

This one technique was/is a powerful tool since it was a very bad thing to waste good food.

Use today as a mile post and hopefully on 2/29/2020 you can look back as I will and see how far you have come.

Back at it starting at 281

Not much new to say than here we go a walking again. 181 would be optimal. 281 is the facts so how hard could it be? It is just the change of ONLY ONE NUMBER! 

I will walk

I will swim and

I will write down everything I eat

It works for me. Oh and limit the carbs very low. Then it is just a matter of time. 

267 and it is working!

Well we'll just all agree that past results do guide us well on our  journey to get fit. Writing down everything I eat and not allowing myself to eat after 8PM everyday plus working out every single day.  I have lost ten pounds in ten days. I feel solo much. Stated and what a great start to this lifestyle change. It has been a bIt challenging but the rewards are so worth it.

I hope this inspires others. I have been inspired by some local people who have lost considerable weight and kept it off. Several things in common with al of them: everyone that is healthy is working out consistently eating properly and it is really a lifestyle change. I am doing well.  Keep it up!

Thanks

277---->199 do over

Time to make it down to my supposed perfect body weight

Heading in the right direction. Work more = eat less

I don't have a picture of the weight this morning as it isn't a Sunday, but it showed under 276.

I have not been so awesome portion control as I have just been busy, and that helps to first keep the mind off of eating and then doesn't allow time for eating too often. I do need to break the habit of being good through the day but then eating in the evening late.

I have never subscribed to it but a friend of mine who's whole family is and has always been thin, does this religiously, they just don't eat after 8 PM, period. (Although my friend never had any problem drinking beer and alcohol after that time... ). But I won't cast dispersions, he's the skinny one and I am the heavy one.

;)

Have a great day, and remember you are not the only one who is challenged by losing weight. But like many others you can take it off in a realistic healthy way and then learn to keep it off, every step in the right direction gets you that much closer. If you can't move forward, at least make sure you don't take any steps back. You didn't get to the weight that you are overnight so don't expect to lose it all so quickly.

Sincerely,

Oh well

So much for the fast. I did ok but then later in the day I was HUNGRY! So I ate a big dinner but over the course of the day I only ate half the calories I usually eat. So that is good.
Calories cut that is great. Just because I made a misstep in the wrong direction doesn't mean I didn't make any progress. It is important to be compassionate with ourselves. Not needed to be judgmental with ourselves
