Day 15 - Wheat Free

Today's Weight: 266 pounds

Today is day 15 of my wheat-free lifestyle and it's getting easier and easier as time goes by. Another week of this and I'll have my 21 days in, and then I can go for the next 21 days. Here are my 14 day results from Fitday.

• 1914 calories
• 65 Net Carbs/14% of total
• 7 pound drop

While I'm up a pound today, that's just the way the weight can sometimes fluctuate. It may have to do with my new weight training regime, but I can't worry about day-to-day changes.

I never did start my new four day weight training program until yesterday, so that was a bit of a disappointment but I did manage to get to the gym two days last week, doing some lifting and riding the elliptical.

I have a plan, but as always, I quit before it can be fully implemented. I spend all my time planning, then starting, and then quitting. If I would actually complete my plan, I might accomplish something.

That's all I'll say for now. Good day.

New Weight Training Starts

Today's Weight: 270 lbs

While I'm a bit disappointed in the slight weight gain from Saturday's 268, I can't get riled up over a couple days. I do envision a nice drop this week as I continue trying to lead this wheat free existence.

Keeping the carbs under control and removing wheat has really allowed me to eat less and yet remain in control without a lot of hunger issues. So far so good. Today is day seven without wheat and I feel great.

I'm also working on a revised workout for the immediate future starting today which entails weight training broken out over four days. Today will be chest and shoulders.

Wheat Free- Day 5

Today's Weight: 268 lbs

Today is day 5 of a new round of eating designed to take my body into levels not seen in several years. Several steps are being taken. They are:

• Removing wheat from my daily fare
• Reducing whole milk and replacing it with half & half
• Keeping net carbs to less than 20%
• Keeping Calories to below 2400 per day

While I've been utilizing low carb as a means to maintain weight and slowly lose, I haven't been serious in quite a long time, nor have I been consistent. It's time once again to see what I can do and where I can go with this. Right now I'm down 13 pounds for the year--that's a great start.

Monday I begin a new workout routine. I measured my waist a few days ago and it was a drastic 52 inches! While I have been working out, my waist still is immense, so this new eating regimen along with a new weight lifting/cardio routine ought to produce serious results.

Frankly I'm sick and tired of being this fat and not making real progress.

Happy New Year

Today I start anew, the dream of running a full marathon, losing the excess weight, and contemplating my life as a fit person.

Today's Weight: 281 pounds.

Couch to 5 km

Today's Weight: 271 pounds

I finally completed week one of the Couch to 5 km training program. I hope to continue a low carb lifestyle while training for a potential 10 km and possible half marathon.

Tuesday: On Track

Today's Weight: 287 pounds
Yesterday's Calories: 2585 calories
Yesterday's Net Carbs: 165 carbs
Yesterday's Steps: 10416

A good day of normal, in control eating. I feel better now that I managed to keep track what I'm doing. Now I have to get down below 100 net carbs.

Induction Soon

Today's Weight: 288 pounds

Getting back on track. Atkins induction to start this week, but not sure when.
