Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 39

03-10-09

I love my Wii Fit, but I’ve got to stop weighing myself on it on Sundays. Other than Tuesday/Wednesday nights when I weigh myself on it, that’s the only other day. I got overconfident when the durn thing told me I’d lost 7.5 pounds since my last weighin on it. Granted, it was after my 9.3 mile run on Sunday and all I had had so far that day was 1 Kashi bar and a 32oz Gatorade. I should have waited until that evening to weigh myself on it as I normally would.

So I weigh-in on the scale at Weight-Watchers and I’ve gained 1.6 pounds. I’m not sure if I gained all that in the last couple of days, but I was being very lax in my food choices due to that 7.5 loss. I also drank a ton more water these last few days due to a gout attack that started up Sunday evening (most likely flared up by the run and not having enough water afterwards).

I’m glad I got in the run though. I completed it in 1hr 56min. This gave me a good idea of how long I would take to do the 13.1 miles this coming Sunday. Though they have a time limit of 4 hours for the race, I’m certain I can complete it at around 3 hours. I plan on making that time my goal.

I also need to track again. I’m not tracking my food intake and it is getting out of hand. Tracking begins tomorrow once again. It works, if I can just make myself do it. The weekend tends to always derail me.

Starting weight: 319.0 lb
Previous weight: 269.8 lb
Current weight: 271.4 lb
Current loss/gain: +1.6 lb
Total loss/gain: -47.6 lb
Distance to 60: 12.4 lb
Distance to Doctor’s WW Goal: 21.4 lb

    Gatorade after your run? Charles man, you’re just killing your effort! The amount of sugar in that stuff ain’t worth the “electrolytes” that it replaces.

    Here’s more info on those sports drinks you should check out: http://is.gd/mE81

    I suggest you stick to a cold bottle of water. Other than that, keep doing up Wii Fit. It’s better than sitting on your behind playing Halo for 3 hours eh? ;)

    Good luck

    You can whine all you want about Gatorade, but it beats the old days of just sitting around and drinking soda all day long. I’ll eventually wean myself off this stuff too. I recommend you work on your delivery as it comes across as condescending and arrogant rather than encouraging, which is what most of us try to do on this website.

    Yeah I know, I like to get to the point, but I see your concern. You guys seem to have a good community here.

    Just know, I’m trying to help you out. I make every minute I spend working out count, so hoping you can adopt that for yourself.

    I noticed that the WW scale showed you gained 1.6lbs… but what does the mirror tell you?

    Do you do resistance training Charles? Because that could possibly be muscle mass, which is always a good thing.
