Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-21

( See all Tweets entries here)

Today I weighed in at 179.7 lbs! Under 180! Woo Hoo! Feeling pretty awesome about it. # Ran my first morning run. It was quite different from running at lunch/evenings but I liked it! I'll do it again tomorrow. #

The Cost Of Running

( See all Running entries here)

Running is supposed to be cheap. It’s supposed to be one of those hobbies/sports/entertainment that costs close to nothing. But as everything else, it can cost a ton if you choose so. I’m one of those people who like to do everything full steam. I had written about my prior hobbies before, model helicopters, remote [...]

Photo Update

( See all Photos entries here)

I really don’t know why I’m doing these any more other than the original commitment to them. Maybe that is a good enough reason to post pictures of me in my underwear every 4 days on my blog…. If my math and estimation is right there will be about another 21 of these updates coming [...]

200 Miles, 200,000 Calories, 180 Lbs

( See all Stats entries here)

That’s a whole lot of numbers for a blog entry title but I thought it was fitting to kind of compress the state of my progress into a tiny little one liner. So let’s look at the numbers one by one. 200 Miles. That is the number of miles I had run since the first [...]

Resting Heart Rate Revisited

( See all Stats entries here)

I have measured my resting heart rate a month and a half ago and it came out to about 52 bpm based on recording my heart rate while asleep. Since then I have been training hard, running hard and losing fat hard. I figured all this must have some kind of effect on my resting [...]

Photo Update

( See all Photos entries here)

I managed to take today’s required pictures just in time to post them. Nothing has really changed, my measurements were identical to the ones from four days ago and the scale seems to show the same number as well although my rolling average clearly indicates a pound loss. I really can’t add much else to [...]

Weekly Status, Week 20

( See all Stats entries here)

Wow! 20 weeks! I find it hard to believe that I’ve been living this new life for this long. It seems like such a short period of time, it certainly has passed by quick. This week zipped by as well. My eating has been spot on, running has been solid and I did do my [...]

I’ve Got Some New Clothes!

( See all Photos entries here)

Ever since I have started shedding the fat I have still been wearing the same XXL shirts and sweaters and I must admit they were getting pretty big. The only thing I have replaced since I started the weight loss has been my jeans, went from a snug size 40 to a loose size 34, [...]

Am I Obsessed Or Just Dedicated?

( See all Rants entries here)

I was told twice the other day that I’m obsessed with my fat loss and it is pretty much all I can talk about. The first person was a co-worker while the other one was my lovely wife. Apparently they’re more tired of my “diet” than I am. The question that I had been pondering [...]

Photo Update

( See all Photos entries here)

I’ve been skipping the updates lately on the blog, but I couldn’t skip the photo update. I made the commitment I just have to do it. Today’s photo update is showing more of the same as the last one. Or should I say less of the same ? My measurements haven’t changed at all except [...]
