It's Friiiiiday!

OSU hockey lost to MICHIGAN! God damn it. I even went to the game but my presence was not enough to overcome the filth from the North. But yeah, I guess we have to let them win sometimes to keep the rivalry going, as long as its not football. Other than that, today was pretty boring, I slept waaay in so i didn't get to eat breakfast, and I had to eat a late lunch. And then I had to eat a late dinner. It was SO hard at the hockey game, I even had free food vouchers and the concession stands smelled amazing, but I restrained. I'm pretty proud of that, and I got to lift today. Overall, a successful day. So, here's my food list thing... have a good night everyone.

Seriously, check them out.

I would highly recommend checking out some of the videos in my video bar. They are all from my mentor and personal inspiration, Scooby. He has some of the greatest fitness/weightloss tips I have ever come across, and his material is genuine. It has helped me considerably with my exercise/nutrition decision, and they are all working wonderfully for me.

Thursday Finale

Well, its the end of thursday, and today I calculated my actual pounds lost based on my basal metabolic rate and then the amount of calories I consumed. A basal metabolic rate is the amount of calories your body needs in a day just to survive. In other words, I could basically lay in bed all day and burn off my BMR calories while doing so, and as long as I didn't eat anything, I would lose weight. This is however not the case, but it is a good standard to go by if you want to make sure you are actually losing weight despite the added calories that activities may tack on to your final burn rate for the day. My BMR is 2364 calories/day, which equals 16296 calories for the 7 day week. Now, BMR accounts for about 60-70% of calories burned in a day, and when you go on a diet, that number can drop up to 20%, which is why its so important to keep yourself feeling full whenever you cut back on eating. I'd say I was pretty sucessful in keeping myself satisfied all week, I can't remember a particular time when I was absoutely starving or anything, so I'm going to go with the number I got. Besides, I'm not factoring in either my running or my weight lifting, so this is just an approximation, and it makes me feel better.

Wednesday-Tuesday (7 days) 8046 calories

BMR for 7 days: 16296 calories

Deficit: -8250 calories

Actual pounds lost: 2.35 lbs

So you can see, a little over 2 actual pounds lost based on this. I'd say that more realistically, I burned enough calories with my exercise and activities to burn about 4-5 pounds... which means that probably half of my weight loss was water weight this first week. I should reasonably expect a 2-3 pound loss per week if I stick to the rules I have set for myself, which shouldn't be a problem. One week down, and I'm feeling so much better. I sleep more, wake up earlier, and my energy levels are off the charts. I rarly feel hungry or as if I'm limiting myself, so overall I think I have found a very solid plan for me.

Man, today i ran, and it couldn't have been but 20 degrees outside. On top of that, there was about a 15mph wind the entire time, easily the wost conditions I have ever run in. Oh well, at least I did it, but i wouldn't reccomend running in that kind of cold. Anyways, here are my daily totals:

Another day (With a grain of salt)

Wow, so this is my THIRD time trying to post. My computer keeps turning off on me. Anyways, OSU lost a heart-breaker to Northwestern today, it was horrible. Oh well, at least another day to hold myself accountable and record my successes. This morning I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 230 pounds, a whole TEN pounds lighter than I was only seven days ago. Now, I fully expect my weight-loss to subside after the first week, as most of what I lost was probably water weight. However, I expected things to slow down, and I am prepared both mentally and physically for the long haul, so no big deal. It was by no means an unsuccessful week, that's for sure. Tomorrow I will post my weekly calorie deficit and hopefully from that I can derive the actual poundage lost, and therefore what I should reasonably expect from week to week as long as I keep to my routine. Tonight was not the best, I had a few brewskies while watching the game, but I did skip dinner to make up for the calories. I have committed to running double my normal Tuesday/Thursday amount tomorrow to make up for the unreasonable amount of beer (accoring to my new rules) that I drank tonight, but hey, in college, I'm not going to split hairs on every occasion. I want a new lifestyle, but I want a new, HAPPIER lifestyle. I can afford to enjoy myself, especially after a stellar week, from time to time. So anyways, I'll record my daily progress here and get ready for a new, exciting week of living a healthier (overall better) lifestyle. Thanks for readin' peoples.

Goals

Well OK, it won't let me post my goals on the side, so here it is:

Weekly Goal: Lose at least 2lbs per week

Monthly Goals: By February 28th: Under 235

By March 31st: Under 227

By April 30th: Under 219

By May 31st: Under 211

By June 30th: Under 203

By July 31st: Under 195

By August 31st: Under 187

By September 30th: 180 pounds

Personal Training goal: Being able to run 2 miles in 11 minutes by birthday, April 19th

Weight Lifting Goal: Max 170lb on bench by May 31st

300 is the second sweetest movie ever

Next to The Dark Knight, of course. Probably the most bad-ass war movie ever though. Anyways, another day down. Today was OK, I woke up around noon so I didn't get to eat breakfast, but that worked out since I went out to dinner tonight. I had Talapia and Mexican rice, wrapped in flour tortillas... which isn't exactly good... but it was probably the best thing I could have gotten at an authentic Mexican Restaurant. I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning... since I started last Wednesday that seems like a good idea. I started at 242 pounds, and my goal is 180, or less than 10% body fat. And Also, I'm going to list a few long term and short term goals up on the side of this blog, annd also my starting/current weight. So, roughly one week down, and a pretty good start. I got my run in as well, and tomorrow is a lifting day, so I'm going to finish posting and go lay down... full day of classes tomorrow.

Big Huge Update

Another victorious day. Except the stupid bluejackets and the stupid huskies lost. W/e, I ate well, went to all my classes and got to lift. I'm just going to post all the information I have into this post for the last 6 days and then I will give a dail update from here on out. Things are looking pretty good, I'm probably going to weigh myself either tomorrow or Wednesday, but I haven't completely decided yet. The good news is, I feel better every day. Gotta go grocery shopping tomorrow, the food, although cheap, runs out rather quickly. Anyways, here is the list.

Let's try this again

Welcome back. Well, needless to say I kind of failed my last attempt to get back into shape... couldn't tell you why despite my determination... but I do have some good news.

So about 6 days ago I put together the weight bench my parents got me for Christmas. it must have been some kind of subconscious inspiration, but ever since I put it together, I have been using it. That then turned into a jogging regime and also, more importantly, a completely new way of eating (one I have never tried before).

It's an incorporation of everything I have tried and failed in the past. As of Wednesday of last week, I weighed 240 pounds, probably the highest I have ever been. I was not necessarily upset about it particularly as I have been having a great month, but I defiantly want to lose a large amount of weight. I think I found a good mix that works best for me, and I've been sticking to it for five days now with virtually no slips and almost no cravings. It is low calorie, low fat, low carb, cardio and weight training. It is also cheap, something I was suprised to discover. Anyways, I've been keeping a daily record of everything I've eaten over the past 5 days, and tomorrow (later today) I will post it all up for anyone to see, and hopefully I can keep this journal updated reguarly with a point of giving myself achievable goals over an extended period of time. Well, that's all I've got for now, I have to get to sleep so I can wake up early enough to get my lifting in before class. Have a good night everyone.
