Week 5

Feeling Good!  Down three lbs this week!!!  46,700 steps for the week, averaging 6,700 or so a day.  This weekend I spent two long days doing demolition work on my in-laws kitchen.  It felt great to work hard that long.  I burned a LOT of calories.  I moved so much that MyFitnessPal awarded me 3000 extra calories each day.  I have a lot of projects I need to do.  Now that it's warmer I'm looking forward to doing them and losing weight in the process.  Here's what 11 lbs looks like.


2-15  252 lbs  Starting Weight
2-22  248 lbs  Week one
3-1    244 lbs  Week two
3-8    243 lbs  Week three
3-15  244 lbs  Week four
3-22  241 lbs  Week five

This weeks thin-spiration is Scott Eastwood (Clint Eastwood's son).  I really just picked him because my beautiful wife has a huge crush on him!

Week 4

It happened.  I knew it would.  I posted about it last week.  It's still hard to take.  I didn't lose any weight, in fact I went up a pound.  I know this is how it works.  I always flatten out or gain a little a few weeks in.  I did good on food this week and have kept my daily average of steps well above my new goal of  6500 a day.  I also doubled my exercise one day and ended up doing 40 flights of stairs and totalled 6.2 miles walking that day.  Not much else to report this week.  I hope next week I can report that I'm losing weight again.  Gotta keep a running average of 2 lbs a week if I'm going to make my goal weight by October.

This weeks thin-spiration is David Duchovny.  I want to get a leather jacket like this when I get this fit and trim.

Identity Crisis

Today I reached my first milestone, 10 lbs lost.  I'm not going to update the stats in the side bar until my official weigh in and blog update on Sunday.  Driving to work I started thinking about future milestones.  I realized that if I stay on track and continue to hit my goal of averaging 2 lbs per week, I'll be at or below 185 in October.  This caused a strange identity crisis.  Not on a personal level, I've been a wide range of weights as an adult and I'm the same asshole at any of them.  

I may however, have to rethink Back to The Future Day. InfiknitGirl and I are having a costume party the weekend after the day that Doc and Marty travel to in 2015.  

     

I had previously decided to dress as the alternate 1985 version of Biff.  This is by far the best and most evil version of Biff in the franchise.  

InfiknitGirl was planning on going as Lorraine, alternate Biff's busty and beaten down wife.  It's a great costume combination for a couple.

Part of the reason I chose Biff is because there's nothing awesome about a really chubby Marty Mcfly.  

Now I realize that I might not be really chubby in October!  Do I want to change to Marty now?  It's a great costume.  What would this mean for InfiknitGirl?  It would ruin the couples coordination if I was vest wearing Marty and she was alternate 1985 Lorraine?

We could make a slight modification and have her dress up as 1955 Loraine.  It would give her a lot of great lines she could use.  It would also allow it to still be a coordinated couples costume in a sick and twisted way that Back to the Future was somehow able to pull off.
