First off, I would like to say Hi and give my thanks for being able to be apart of Fatbloggers.  I started this journey at 265 pounds and miserable.  I had yo-yo’d weight wise pretty much all of my life so I knew what it was like to be thinner and (relatively) happier with myself, yet I kept allowing the weight to come back up.  Not THIS time though, this is for good. – Steve

Progress Report: Week 6
Weight: 249.8 lbs
BMI: 35.8
Weight loss to date: 15.2 pounds

WooT!

I blew through the 260’s with relative ease, but lingered in the 250’s a bit longer than I would have liked.

HHHHEEELLLLLLOOO 240’s!  Hopefully my stay is short :)

These are nice numbers to see, in previous (halfassed) weight loss efforts over the past year or so I’ve gotten down as low as 245, only to come back up rather quickly.  Not this time.  I’m going to trudge my way through and keep on moving down.

Last week I made a goal for myself to run/jog/walk/whatever 15 miles on the treadmill this week.  Here are the results of that:

Tuesday:   3.37 miles (45 minutes)
Wednesday:  1.44 miles (20 minutes)
Thursday:  4.46 miles (60 minutes)
Sunday:  4.31 miles (60 minutes)
Monday: 1.57 miles (20 minutes)

Total: 15.15 miles (205 minutes)

WooT yet again!  That comes out to an average of 4.43 miles an hour, which is still kinda slow, but I’ll take it!  The lowest I went on the treadmill was 3.5mph, and the highest was 8.0mph (for ONE WHOLE MINUTE!!! haha)

I think for this weeks fitness goal I might try for another 10,000 calories burned in cardio this week.  The previous attempt didn’t lead to any loss, but I kinda want to push myself hard this week, so I’m going to try again, this time doing more than the ARC Trainer too (cuz I’m getting into this whole walkjogrun thing).

I didn’t meet my non weight loss goal, which was to work 12 hours of overtime this past week.  BUT, I did still get 10 hours in last week (worked 4 hours on Sunday, before I made the goal), and I worked 6 hours WHILE on the goal, so I’m still happy that the paycheck will be a bit bigger.  This week is in the same pay period too, so hopefully I can get some more in!

For non weight loss goals THIS WEEK, I wanna shoot for another 6 hours of overtime, AND 6 hours of study time for school.  I think that is attainable, but we’ll see :-P

Hope everyone has an AWESOME DAY, it’s looking pretty good for me so far (ESPECIALLY since Star Trek comes out on BluRay today..WooHOO!!)

Life is filled with drama. No big news flash there. There comes a certain point where things that are lower on the priority scale get neglected. I could insert a little story from my work in Child Welfare here, but I’ll save that for my personal blog.
I received a couple emails this week that [...]

When I lived in British Columbia from 1999-2002, I met a wonderful friend through work. Liisa worked at another university, and I knew from the moment I met her that there was something very special about her. She has such an incredible spirit, and offer an extraordinary energy to those around her, that I feel [...]
