Well, considering I weighed 235 once, this isn't the worst news. Of course I also weighed 178 for about two day two years ago
Body composition goals

This is doable. I regularly weighed 183 - 186 before knee surgery and the consequent letting myself go. My advisor recommended cardio 3 times a week, weight work twice... I'm much more likely to do cardio 5-6 days a week. It just seems like the natural thing to do since I go directly after work. I know that if I come home and sit on the couch I'll be bored and wondering what to do with myself.
Long Term (one year+) Goals
percent body fat: 17.0% change: -12.7%
lean body weight: 141.5 change: +1.1 (lbs)
body fat weight (lbs): 29.0 change: -30.2 (lbs)
body weight (lbs): 170.5 change: -29.1 (lbs)
I always (potentially) saw myself at 170 the first time around, so this goal is reasonable... there are some picture of me at 180 where I look sorta sickly, actually, but I think that had more to do with a haircut and bad clothing choices. Anyway. At 178 I still had more weight around my midsection than a guy wearing bike jerseys on a regular basis should have. So.
My goals walking in the door were to lose the weight I had regained, improve my cycling, and find a team to ride with. I've yet to call the number of the coach he gave me, mainly because I'm a little nervous about the whole "am I ready for this" thing. I know riding with a team is going to kick my ass. I'm more concerned that I'm either not going to find a team, or I'm not ready. I'm certainly not ready now, but I can be in a couple months.
I should call tomorrow regardless. Stay tuned...
Have you thought of eating Mike's place or Little Augie's pizza everyday and smoking again?
ReplyDelete2 months down the road you'll already be close. It happens quick. I gotta get back to jumping rope. 1000 calories an hour does the trick, and it's crazy fun. Chics dig it too.
ReplyDeleteMark - I have a really horrible memory so that whole smoking thing seems so bizarro now - I don't really even remember what sort of motivation I had to be like that. Same thing with the weight. I don't remember the motivation to do much of anything at any point, really.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of smoking really disgusts me now - I have stronger sort of hate feelings about that than pretty much anything I can think of. For example, I'm not a fan of cancer, but I'm even less so a fan of smoking. Gina knows this because I've said before if she'd ever relapse (and she won't) she'd be out of the house immediately. I don't really even like it when she mentions stuff like "oh for a second today I thought I wanted a cigarette" even though I know that that happens to anyone whose ever quit.
As for the pizza.. yeah I like pizza a lot.
I cannot jump rope. I haven't the coordination. I bet that burns more than 1000 calories an hour, too..
ReplyDeleteMike, Practice makes perfect with Roping. After a month you'll be roping like Ali (rope-a-dope). On the smoking note, this coming June 1st (Miriana's 8th Birthday) will be 2 years absolutely smoke free for me. YEAH...except for the crack rock, pot, and paint huffing...but you knew what I meant.
