Week 1 – New Beginnings


So I decided to wait a week to start my next weight loss challenge so that I’d have 12 weeks, just like last time.

Most folks don’t have the stones to do something like this during the holidays since most of Western Civilization has made an institution of overeating during the holiday season.  In my case, I plan on “More turkey, lesss mashed potatoes and other carbs” and hoping for the best.  Between that and all the travel, I hope to minimize the damage done.

Aside from that, my workout plans involve Kettlebells 3 days/week, and strict adherence to a diet plan for folks like me who have “insulin issues”. (According to my doc, I’m a “managed” diabetic, which would technically be true no matter what I weighed.  I just don’t have to deal with the constant blood sugar monitoring and strict diet.  It is, more or less, a “Sword of Damocles” that I’ll have to live with, courtesy of genetics.)

For my week 1 numbers… Well, you know what to do.  Suffice to say that I do not expect to maintain this kind of weight loss over 13 weeks.

Results:

  • Current Weight:  307
  • Start Weight: 310
  • Goal Weight by 3/1/2010 (12 weeks): 290
  • Weight Loss to Date: 3 pounds
  • Weight loss by 3/1/2010 at current pace (13 week total): 39 pounds
