03-23-09 Exercise & Food
My weigh pre-workout was 169.0 and post-workout weight was 167.4.
My workout was 1st leg 5km bike 11:52, 2nd leg 5km run 31:24, and 3rd leg 5km bike 14:34 for a total time of 57:52.
My best time on the 1st get was 11:32 back on March the 16th. My 2nd leg was a way off as I had done that in 30:00 on March the 20th. My 3rd leg time of 14:34 was not to bad as my best time for the 3rd leg is 13:25 on March the 18th.
So if I took all my best times I would have a time of 54:57. So I am still looking for a really good day to make all 3 legs happen.

while dieting is hard, we the public can see plainly the emotional struggle our bob is in….the first 2 weeks of jan,.. are reflective of the stern resolve of a man who desires to attain his goal….the third week; or the first of feb…we see that good intentions begin to wane, but the second week of feb only proves the resilence of what once started is back on track…….
The third and fourth week of feb is like the sweet smell of consistantcy but oh no….looky here what happens in march…..? The consumption of foods as per in relative terms seem to lose the resolve we seen back in feb…..we know that our bob shall bounce back to the 1700 to 1800 cal.. range …..I myself am seriously thinking of starting my diet soon howbeit a different kind than what our bob is pursuiing………….youre doing good bob

Hi Dan, Thanks. I did a review of my diet progress and add a couple more checks and balances. I am now calculating a running daily calorie average for each day and a weekly review on Saturdays.
If I am over the 1700 to 1800 daily calorie count than I will find out what caused me to break my calorie count and fix that.
Over all how ever my progress is excellent as the calorie counts are only a means to the end not an end in and of themselves. The issue of course am I meeting my weight loss goals.
Currently for 3 months 8 days I am have lost 30lbs which is puts me 8 days behind on my goal of 10lbs a month.
So why there has been a fluctuation in the weekly numbers of my daily calorie averages if you average it all out over 9 weeks my daily intake has been 1851 calories.
I have been aiming at 1750 calories a day and the additional 151 calories a day for 9 weeks only adds up to 1.8lbs off my time based goal (151lbs x 9wks x 7days / 3500cal = 1.8lbs).
So in the big picture of a 30lbs weight loss, being 1.8lbs off is not an issue when everything is said and done.
The idea of setting time based goals is to force yourself to modify your conduct to reach a desired results quicker. If I reach my goal a few calories over and a few days late it really doesn’t matter.
My goal is losing 40lbs in 4 months. Currently I am running 8 days or 2.3lbs behind or an average of 151 calories per day over my daily allowed intake.
By working to correct the items where I am off track all I am really doing is making sure that I don’t get further off track.

Hi Dan; Well I give the Lord all the glory. In and of myself I am weak willed, given to the pleasure of eating food, inconsistent, and can’t stick at anything for very long.
I am glad if my diet success the Lord has helped me with can inspire others to lose weight.
