Weigh In

My official weigh-In occurred today. Under the 218 I mentioned a couple days ago, I was 217. This was 8.5 lbs from last month, but only 6.5 lbs from the start, I didn't have a good first month. Another 10 by May 1st would be excellent.

11 people combined loss over 2 months of about 90 lbs. A couple three people haven't helped the cause, but the same could have been said about me in the first month.

Well, I think I'm right about where I started in January. My weigh-in today suggested I was about 259, which is 2 pounds heavier than last month, but one pound lighter than the starting weight. My belt, however, is still in the same place, and may even be approaching a new, thinner place now which seems to indicate that I have packed on some more muscle somehow. I've been trying to avoid any exercises that are purely for muscular building, or show (like curls), and focus on those things that use the whole body like the deadlifts and dumbbell cleans and presses, but of course any good weightlifting increases muscle mass, so that may be happening. Whatever's happening, I still have plenty of fat to lose. Did another Spinervals disk today, a fat-burning one, and I think I will keep trying to do those several times a week. That seems like it will help. Those are pretty sweat-inducing.

Nice work Craig. Seems like you are on track now. I'll have to get back on track after this Florida trip.

As for the spinervals DVDs, somewhere they say that 3 hours on the trainer is like 4 hours on the road. That seems like a good return. I'm hoping build up to 2 hours on the trainer before June. That would make me feel like I'm ready to go.
