2015 - Week Zero

OK, here we go!  2015 is going to be a better year, period.

2015 Week Zero Weight:  245.6

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Week 52

Well, not only did I not keep this blog going, I didn't keep my weight down.  I'll try harder in 2015!

Week 36

Yet again, not a very good week.  Not sure how to "jump start" myself.  Stepped up my cardio a bit to see how my foot responds.  Now, I need to eat a bit better.  The snacks, aka junk food, is killing me.

Weight: 240

Week 34

What can I say; not at all my best week....

Weight: 241

Week 31

Interesting, weight stayed the same even with an improved eating plan.  We’ll see how next week goes.

Weight:  239

Week 30 – Special

This week started out terrible.  My weight was up.  However, last night my trainer – Tim Taggert – had me complete a series of one-rep maximums to re-set our benchmark.  He seemed to be very impressed. 

• Chest Press – 170
• Pec Deck – 125
• Rev Deck – 155
• Lat Pull down – 185
• Seated Row – 200
• Preacher Curl – 125
• Tricep Extend – 210
• Leg Curl – 200
• Leg extension – 200
• Leg press – 500
• Ab Machine – 210

Weight: 239

Week 27

Not  my best week.  However, if sports teams can say a “win is a win” then I can say a “lose is a lose”.

Weight: 241

Week 26

I’ve been a slacker!!  Not the best last few weeks.  Back on a better eating plan this week; we’ll see how my weight is next week.

Weight: 242

Week 20

Conference and graduation last week – Cardio in the morning; better week ahead

Weight: 236

Week 18

Another horrible week - got to get back on track J

Weight: 240

Week 17

Happy Easter!  We spent time with family and ate way too much. 

Weight 241

Week 16

Catching up this week; gone to a conference last week and fighting Plantar Fasciitis – AGAIN.  Fasting today - very lean meals the rest of the week

Weight 238

Week 12 and 13

Darn, the scale keeps going the wrong direction.  This we HAS to be better!!

Weight 238

Week 11

What a terrible week; lots of company still here and three birthday meals.  Well, we’ll try harder this week.

Weight 235

Week 10

Not my best week, but I held my own; even with Kodie and Justin’s wedding.  I’ll have the get real serious after all the company leaves.

Weight 228

Week 9

I lost a pound this week.  This coming weekend is Kodie and Justin’s wedding; probably won’t be my best week this week.

Weight 227

Percent Paleo last week: 28%

Percent Intermediate Fasting last week:  14%

Week 8

Stayed steady with weight and cardio this week; added walking with a bit of running to see how my PF would respond.  No problems so far – keep your fingers crossed for me.  As I read more and more about intermediate fasting, I’m convinced that it shouldn’t be done 100% of the time.  Therefore, I’m switching to two (2) days a week with at least 18 hours of fast.  Then once a month I’m going to try a twenty-four (24) hour fast.

Weight 228

Percent Paleo last week: 42.84%

Percent Intermediate Fasting last week:  57.12%

Week 7

Stayed “steady” with my cardio; had to be extra careful because of the “holiday weekend”.  This week I’m adding in more walking to see how my PF responds.

Weight: 228

Percent Paleo last week: 28.56%

Percent Intermediate Fasting last week:  28.56%

Week 6

I increased my cardio significantly with great results and no PF “issues”.  Now, I just have to keep at it!!

Weight: 232

Percent Paleo last week: 28.56%

Percent Intermediate Fasting last week:  57.12%

Week 5

Not too bad of a week considering I was out of town for half of it and had a birthday lunch yesterday.  This week/month, I will be increasing my cardio to at least one hour.  Once I reach that goal, I’m going to begin adding intervals.  My PF is nearly under control.  My goal there is to re-start couch to 5K the first of March.  Have a great week. 

Weight: 237

Percent Paleo: 57.12%

Percent Intermediate Fasting: 57.12%

Week 4

An even worse week this week!  Not at all sure what is going on but I gained another pound this week.  We had company this weekend so I guess I ate worse that I thought.  I’ve resisted a ridged diet, until now; back on the “Slim-4-Life” plan.

Weight: 242

Percent Paleo: 42.84%

Percent Intermediate Fasting: 57.12%

Week 3

Not a very good week.  Dutch Oven cooking event this weekend; I ate way too much and it’s always a bit salty.  I’ll be working hard this week to get flush my system and cut back on calories.  This week I will IF every day and eat Paleo three days this week.

Weight: 241
Percent Paleo:  28.56%

Week 2

Week 2 could have been better, but I’m pleased; lost 6/10 of a pound.  I’m going to be more aggressive with tracking and logging food this week to see if I’m sabotaging my diet without even knowing it.

My goal this week is one (1) fasting day and two (2) Paleo days.  We will be attending a Dutch oven event this weekend, so I’ll need lots of willpower that I don’t have.  Wish me luck!

Weight:  236.8

Percent Paleo:  14.28%

Week 1

Well, Week 0 went much like I expected.  I over ate for my last two holiday events, but still lost 4 pounds.  It was probably all salt and water weight, but I’ll take a loss anytime.  I was also successful with one (1) day of Paleo style eating. 

This week, my goal is to add a day of intermittent fasting to the mix; at least one day of Paleo eating and one day of intermittent fasting.  Wish me luck!!
