Having a Look at the Calories

Here is a look at my calorie intake for the 11 weeks of the 12 Week Body Challenge. Click the photo to enlarge. The green line is my target at 1800 calories and the yellow line is my weight progress. I was really consistent there for a few weeks, but lately it has been up [...]

Week 11 Progress Report

I changed my profile picture on Traineo today. I guess I was tired of looking at my fat belly on there. For motivation when I started a year ago using Traineo, I uploaded a picture of my belly.
I took this shot a few months after my gynecologist sliced me up to rid me of a [...]

Week 8 Progress: Took a Break from Posting

I’ve been busy trying to catch up after my vacation to the Cape, so I haven’t posted this week. That doesn’t mean I didn’t do anything though. This week I did spins on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. That was pretty much it though. No runs, swims, or weight workouts. I can’t remember what my fourth [...]

Week 7 Progress Report

It has been 7 weeks and I still haven’t lost any weight: 136.2. Actually it’s probably good that I haven’t gained any weight. I just haven’t been able to coax my body into letting go of those last 10 lbs. I am getting in pretty good shape though. My next triathlon might actually be pleasant. [...]

Week 4 Progress Report

One month down, and only 2 months left. For me, that means now I have to try to lose more than 1 lb a week since I’ve lost none thus far, although I’m really getting in pretty good shape. On my long ride yesterday, I was able to shave 11 minutes off my time for [...]

Week 3 Progress Report

Week 3 is in the books so to speak. I can’t say that it was a grand success. It was great up until Friday, and even Friday was an ordinary OFF day with no major cheats in the diet. But the weekend was a disaster. I’m over it now though. Moving on.

I weigh the same: [...]

My Virtual Model is Hot!

Okay, this is just plain silly, but silly I am. So what. I discovered this site today called My Virtual Model that lets you do just that, create a virtual model of yourself. The concept stems from the idea that people who shop online could try the clothes on virtually so they can see if [...]

Week 2 Progress Report

Well, I don’t have any exciting news to report. I did lose 1/2 lb. I guess that’s something. I’m pretty used to being at this weight, and for some reason I can’t seem to get past it. But I’m not going to worry about it. Below is my Calories Burned/Weight Chart for the first two [...]

Week 1 Calories Weight

My diet this week was so-so. It was much better [...]

First Week Weight Gain

I hate the first week of working out after being off for awhile. No, not because every muscle in my body is sore and it especially hurts to sit on the toilet, but because I always gain weight that first week. Such is true in this case as well. I gained 2 lbs. I worked [...]
