Bigger Loser: Back Again... Sort of.

So, did a bit of a run Friday. My goal is to get into the gym Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly Saturday. We'll see if that happens. I saw the movie Death Race the other day. Jason Statham dropped to around 6% body fat for that film. I signed up for a run in late August, The Biggest Loser just started up again at work, it's Summer... I don't know; I'm just looking for a reason to push myself I guess. I don't really feel motivated yet, but I'm trying to get there. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I think if I can just get started I will be fine - it's just the getting started part is hard.

25:07  2.6 miles for the run; and I don't feel too bad. It was an extremely humid night and I've been off for a while. I just realized - I'm not certain these maps are posting. I'll have to look into that. If it works, here was my route:

Bigger Loser Day 8

I don't know what to say.

I got too little sleep.

Woke up late.

No stretching this morning.

My body hates me right now.

I stink; need a shower.

Worked a 10+ hour day.

I'm tired. 

I think I need coney dogs (yes, they're veggie)

Biggest Loser Day 7

Ok, I was crushed today. I spoke with a health-professional-type-guy; he was the health rep. for our company. He pointed out that if I intend to drop to 160 lbs. I would be extremely unhealthy. I currently carry 18% body fat at ~178 lbs. Apparently the only way I can drop to 160 lbs. is to lose muscle and bone mass, or to drop to an unhealthy body fat level. So, my new goal is to drop to 10%-12% body fat. I'll have to start checking it every once in a while.

Meals: 

Breakfast - Banana bread

Lunch - Peanut Butter Sandwich

Dinner - 1/2 cup baked beans; one disturbingly processed bun made of white flour, sugar, and preservatives

Post-run snack - Soy protein shake

I did a short walk; about 1.2 miles. Then, I did a quick run too; 17 mins. 54 secs. Just about an even 2 miles. Map follows:

I know, another bad day of eating; I promise, it will get better.

Bigger Loser Day 4

Saturday in the park I think it was the 4th of July...

Before the park I had to go in to work. So, I got very little sleep; about 4 hours; then hurried in for a meeting. Then went to watch some Rugby. After a pretty good showing by Scioto Valley, I went off to play some pick-up soccer. We ran around for about 2 - 2.5 hours. No lifting, did some burpies (about 5 at the end of the match/game); also, I snuck in 100 crunches, 20 oblique crunches, 20 jack knifes, and 10 bird dogs before my meeting.took it kinda easy.

Meals:

Breakfast - Protein Shake

Lunch - Rice Noodles, Peanut Sauce, veggies, and beans

Dinner - Chips, Guacamole, Bread, and Spaghetti

Yeah, I didn't eat very well... you'll have that.
