He Scores!

Howdy from the World Wide Headquarters of Common Senseville.

As promised I am catching up on April's Energy Equation and what the results are.
Friday 3459 cal.burned -2176 cal.in= -1283
Sat 3430 cal. burned-2960 cal.in= -470
Sun 2950 cal.burned-3000cal.in = +50
Monday 3267 cal.burned-2028 cal.in = -1239
Tuesday 3400 cal. burned-2135 cal.in = -1265
Weds 3174 cal.burned - 2023 cal.in = -1151

As you can see on Sunday I ate a lot. Couple of reasons I did this, #1 I worked like a draft mule on Saturday and was really spent and #2 we went to eat for Janet's birthday(she turned something over 29) and I ate a regular meal at the restaurant.But going over a mere 50 calories is not bad and I am looking for weekly and monthly averages anyway.

For the month of April I walked 42.5 miles with my Full Pak Tak and Texas Walking sticks. I also got in 16 30 minute walks on the treadmill and 15 Turbulenc Exercise practice sessions.I can tell ya I really feel good after getting in some extra motion during the day, both mentally and physically.

I ended up the month weighing 233 this morning. Thursday is typically the lightest weight of the week for me.So my total since starting my fat loss journey is 72 pounds of lard gone.

I would encourage anyone to start a journey to better health. Even if you have 10 pounds to lose, get started.Espically if you are 20 pounds too fat and 35 years old, becuase one day I woke up and was 54 years old and 100 pounds too fat.

My goal for May is to get down to 228. Travel with me and keep me honest. That is another thing I really like about this journey---this BLOG--thanks go to Janet and Muata for telling me straight up to do it. It does keep me honest with myself---and that is as important as not eating a damn doughnut.

Rounding Third

I really like baseball, I remember watching a crippled up Sid Bream in the World Series running around the bases to take the lead. He was running and limping and running and limping, and I was wondering if he could round third and make it all the way home.He did.

On April 12 I re-looked at my Energy Equation and decided to cut calories really hard for the rest of the month and see where I was.On April 13 I hit the ball and I have been running and working (a little limping) since then. Well, today I am rounding third and heading for home.

I will see on Thursday if I can make it all the way home, but I know I can make it.

It has not been bad at all. I continue to learn a lot about the way I eat and the way I used to eat.

I will post my month end weight on Thursday and the balance of my Energy Equation for the month.

Keep swinging for the ball!!

friday's update

Greetings from the World Wide Headquaters of Bill's Fat Loss Guided Tour!!Ha that's sounds either really smart or really dumb---depends on yur mood I guess.

It's Friday and I thought I would post an update on my Energy Equation before the weekend, because I am gonna be busy burning calories and may not get back until Monday.

Wendsday--2193 cal in 3534 cal. buned = -1341
Thursday--2149 cal. in 3165 cal. bunred= -1016
so far Friday looks like I will be deficent 1100 or so.

The group at work, were treated to lunch by the boss today, I chose to go do my Full Pak Trac instead. I have gotten to the point I really enjoy my practices and the way I feel after I get thru.

I cannot begin to discribe how thankful I am that I started this journey and how much I have learned since I started the trip.For anyone one that thinks they cannot do this OR anyone that wonders if the effort is worth it ---I can tell you , for me, it has been incredible.I now know why there is so much depression and negitive thinking in the world-----we forget to tell ourselves----AMERICAN!! A - MER - I - CAN!!

Travel with me, I'll bring the CAN!!

Rain rain rain

Howdy, today is Tuesday and the sky is blue.

I posted last Friday how I hoped I could Full Pak Trac in the rain and it did not happen.Well on Saturday we were blessed with 8 inches at the house. Filled up the tanks and ran down the gully and generally rained like a cow pissing on a flat rock.

Oh yea , I went out and got wet too!!

Still cutting calories fairly hard. Not too hard over the weekend but I was deficent around 300-400 both days.Friday my Enegry Equation was 2300 cal.in / 3400 cal burned=
-1345, Monday 2125 cal. in /3149 cal. burned = -1024.

I still feel good and I am able to gradually increase the Turbulence Exercises a little each week.

Janet has a birthday this weekend and we will be going out to eat, but we have a yard project to start so I should be able to burn plenty of calories.

I will continue posting my Energy Equation for the rest of the month.

walking in the rain?

Today is Friday and it looks like rain, we sorely need the rain.I have a burning desire to go walk in the rain on my lunch time Full Pak Trak.

I'll try to update how my Energy Equation is tracking so far this week latter. I can tell you now I am moving in the right direction.Re-focusing my Energy Equation has really helped.

Catch you on the road a little latter.

No Pearl of Wisdom in my head yet, waiting for the rain for the seed to sprout. Keep yer fingers crossed.

Well, I'm back. No rain just a little mist, crap, crap, crap.Oh well , Grandpa always said it rains on the deserving and the un-deserving alike.

My figures on my Energy Equation so far this week looks like this--
Monday 1858 cal in--3160 cal burned= -1302
Tuesday 1933 cal in--3384 cal burned= -11451
Wednesday 2016 cal in--3318 cal burned= -1302
Thursday 2055 cal in--3400 cal burned = - 1345

You can tell I am cutting calories quite well and I am feeling pretty good.I won't post my weight until the end of the month----my April goal is 235 pounds. I will tell you this, I am dropping a good bit of fat.I plan on cutting calories at this pace until the end of the month. I will re-assess the road map at that time.

Have a good weekend and look for me on the fat loss highway.

revamp roadmap

Just a quick post about my re-vamped road map, I talked about yesterday.

My Energy Equation yesterday came out as : 1858 calories in / 3160 calories out.

That puts me 1302 calories deficit for the day.

I intend to cut around this much for the rest of the month and see where I am at.

Always take a good look at what yer eating.It's not so important to know what it is, but it's damn critical to know what it was.
