Back on track

This weekend I kind of blew my whole diet. Actually it was Saturday that I was horrible. I ate pizza and McDonalds. Now before you ask yourself ‘omg wtf holy hell !!111!!1!one1!!1′, I had too much to drink and was out with some good friends. Most of us have done that one stupid thing when they were drunk, which seemed like a perfectly good idea until the next morning. This was one of those things for me. I made up for it today, however. I ran/walked a total of 10 miles, and consumed a whopping 0 calories. My weight is back to were it was Friday night.

I’ll be more careful in the future, but no serious harm was done thanksfully

An UPDATE! One you’ll want to read!

Today I reached a new milestone! I now weigh a weight which I have not carried in over 4 years (when I started packing on the pounds). I know I said I would not reveal what my initial weight was until I accomplished my goal, however I will give you some insight. Tuesday evening when I weighed myself I scaled in at a hefty 205lbs. This morning when I woke up I scaled in at 200lbs even! Thats not the best part though. After seeing how close I was to breaking the 200lb mark, I went running 2 miles. When I came back I weighed 199lbs. Granted I probably just lost 1lb of water weight, but regardless, I am now under 200lbs, something I haven’t been in almost 4 years. If you have been following my progress you will probably get a good idea of what I weighed before I decided it was time to get back in shape.

Now with all that said, I still have a ways to go before accomplishing my goal of 5% body fat, however I figure if I keep up the pace I’m at, by mid-September I should accomplish it.

A bad idea

Yesterday, after announcing I had lost 2lbs in one day, I decided to order a pizza. That was not one of my better ideas. I gained 4 lbs today.

I’m starting to wonder if my scale is broken or something.

2lbs, 1 day

I just got back from weighing myself. This morning when I woke up I had lost 1lb over the night before. Now, just 13 hours later, I have lost another pound. That puts me 2lbs down in one day. I’m ordering a pizza to celebrate!

Total weight lost: 17lbs

5% – The new challenge

On my old blog I had announced the challenge that I have imposed on myself. The challenge was to reduce my BMI (body fat) to the minimum healthy limit, 5%. I attempted this challenge in the summer of 2005, but failed miserably. This summer, after having my tonsils removed and having lost a bunch of weight, I decided to attempt the challenge again. I started 1 month ago, and as of today have lost 16lbs. I’m well on my way to my goal. I haven’t measured my BMI just yet, but will post the results soon.

Oh and don’t worry, I will provide the before and after shot just like you see on TV!
