Weigh-In Results

Before I get to the results of my weigh-in, I'd like to remind you that in tomorrow's post I'll be answering any question you ask (within reason).  If you haven't left a comment, please leave one here

I finished the six weeks of my 100 push ups training program.  All I have left to do is 100 push ups in a row.  Eep.  Today I did 50; my personal best.  I'll rest my arms and focus on cardio for a couple days.  Hopefully, I'll be able to perform.

Now let's get to the weigh-in.

Well, it's not the loss I was hoping for, but it was more than I was expecting (and probably deserved).  I snacked this week, I stopped using the daily plate (though I've been trying to pick it up again), I didn't get nearly enough sleep.  I took two days off in a row, and I took walks instead of hitting the gym hard. Still, half a pound lost is still a loss.

I have to admit I ate a peanut-butter banana to cope with my frustration, but the scale will go down next week.  It has to.

I did pass a major milestone this week though.  I've lost 30 pounds since I started blogging!  That's my badge of honor for the week.

  3. Wow, you can do 50 push-ups. I'm aiming for one!

    A loss is a loss! I had a gain this week. Peeved at the scale but it's bound to happen. Keep up the good work and get back to the daily plate!

  5. A loss is a loss and 30 is a great, even number! Get back to tracking that food intake and hit up the gym, and you'll be fine!

  6. I'm going to start the 100 pushup challenge this week. I can't imagine I'll get that many done during the initial test, but I'll see how it goes this evening.

    Congratulations on the 30 pounds, keep at it!

  8. Idea:

    Bring a backpack to the gym.
    Put 30 lbs. worth of weights into the backpack.
    Walk around for a while or walk on the treadmill for a short period.

    I think this will help you to realize how much you have accomplished and will help to energize you to continue to work hard.

    Keep up the great work, Andrew!
