I guess this was not a good week for a buffet at Loews Ventana Canyon resort.




This weigh-in was 152.4 lbs, up 1.4 pounds from last week's reading of 151 lbs. I am now 7.4 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 27.6 lbs (15.33% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 82.86% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 25.36, which is an increase of 0.23 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 4.59 kg/m2. At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

Yikes. Two pounds in two weeks is not a good trend. I really need to start counting calories again.




This weigh-in was 151.0 lbs, up 0.8 pounds from last week's reading of 150.2 lbs. I am now 6.0 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 29.0 lbs (16.11% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 82.86% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 25.12, which is an increase of 0.13 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 4.83 kg/m2. At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

Good progress on nutrition

bacon fatty melt in the wild by stu_spivack on Flickr

One of the most frustrating things about trying to get healthy is the lack of nutritional information in restaurants. Sure, one can estimate the caloric and fat contents of certain restaurant foods, but it's a crap shoot at best. Now that California mandates that nutritional information be posted in restaurants, the industry itself is shaping up:
Romano's Macaroni Grill, with four locations in the region, has managed to squeeze a whopping 880 calories out of just one salad, as the chain's menu undergoes a massive revamp under new ownership.

In June, Denny's rolled out its "Better for You" menu, which will be available at all 1,550 Denny's restaurants, including 400 in California. One of its signature items on that menu getting a calorie cut: The Grand Slam.
It's good to see that we are going to have more healthy options soon, and upcoming federal legislation, if passed, will precipitate more news like this.

Progress Update #33

Evidently I am not ready to stop tracking my calories online. Or maybe I just shouldn't have eaten out like 3 times this week. Oh well. Time to jump-start this effort once again. I am a little astounded (but pleased) that I have not exceeded the 25 kg/m2 BMI calculation, so I'm still technically in the "Normal" weight range. I should probably consider myself lucky.




This weigh-in was 150.2 lbs, up 1.2 pounds from last week's reading of 149.0 lbs. I am now 5.2 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 29.8 lbs (16.56% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 85.14% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 24.99, which is an increase of 0.20 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 4.96 kg/m2. At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

I'm a bit surprised, since I didn't count calories while we were on vacation this holiday weekend. I did try to make good choices, however. Back on the calorie counting starting today.

I'm trying to think of what types of goals I will have once I hit my 145 mark. I want to tone up, but I'm not looking to bulk up - I worry that the required increase in food intake will be counterproductive. Any ideas?




This weigh-in was 149.0 lbs, down 1 pound from last week's reading of 150.0 lbs. I am now 4 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 31.0 lbs (17.22% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 88.57% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 24.05, which is a decrease of 0.16 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 5.90 kg/m2. At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.
