Shedding the Winter Coat
by douglaspaulwade on Feb.19, 2010, under Cycling, Weightloss

I have some big plans this year. I would like to revisit Mt. Whitney (mid July) and cycle more. With the High Schoolers each year we head up to Reedley. That is 200 miles from the house. I would like to cycle up there in two days.
So, I am way too out of shape for those events. I am starting to get back in shape. I am 210 lbs today and need to be about 190 lbs in July. So let the fat and laziness go away and let’s start being active.
If anyone local wants to join me in road cycling, local hikes, or walking let me know! Yes, I am still walking. I am about to reach 10 million steps. Today I am at 9,614,669 steps.
Weight – Month

Ok, here is my weight loss numbers… I started on September 7th at 210 lbs and 30 days later I am 203.2. That is 6.8lbs in one month. You can see some stumbling but, it evened out. Charted, this is how it looks.
Out of Control
by douglaspaulwade on Sep.07, 2009, under Weightloss

I have been lazy and out of control with eating, drinking and sitting on my butt. Wow, I decided to recommit myself to some sense of self-control.
I went out and purchased a scale, one that does it all. I purchased the Homedics 540 Health Station. I put in my vitals and stepped on. Here is the scary details:
- 210 lbs (with clothes)
- 36.8% Body Fat
- 44.8% Water
- 32.5 Muscle Mass
- 2.8% Bone Density
So, It is a starting point. I will post my results in the coming week.
Here is my activities calendar.
