Year 60, week 2

So the end to week two comes around and the scale says I dropped another pound. That makes -3 of 60 -- a little off pace but still moving in the right direction.

I know it's not much and I haven't done much in the way of exercise, although I've had some pretty active days. I've also not been real strict on diet. I am eating more healthy foods (for the most part) and keeping to moderate portions (again, for the most part). We have discovered the orange cream shakes at a nearby Arby's and that has been an occasional indulgence. As one might expect, I am a little more conscientious on the few days before weigh-in day!

It's a new week -- Week 3!
I'm looking for -2 (minimum) to give me -5 for a three week total.
Should be the proverbial piece of cake!

Year 60, Week 1

So it's actually 1 week and a day since I let this slip my mind yesterday.
I did weigh in at 258 this morning. That's -2 for the week and keeps me on pace to reach -60 by 60.
Diet has been decent with a few indulgences. I've made a few healthy dinners -- a meatless Monday portabella mushroom sandwich, a shrimp, potato, corn, asparagus dish, an easy chicken salad.

Exercise hasn't been very regular -- a couple of walks and a little stretching and light calisthenics.
I need to do better.

Overall, I'm not disappointed.
Week 2 is underway.

Be well,
John

Sixty by 60: the journey begins

A couple of weeks ago, I reported on my other blog about how I have managed to regain all of my lost weight (and then some), and on how I am going to recommit (again!) to get it off.

Tomorrow I turn 59.
The simple goal is to lose 60 pounds before I turn 60 one year from now.
Because I would like to be at 200 pounds (or less), and because I began the month of June at 265 pounds, I needed to get started and lose 5 pounds before my birthday tomorrow.

This morning's weigh in read 260, so I'm all set and off to a good start. I don't plan on sharing this daily on my Facebook page, but will probably share it on Twitter. I'm not sure what or how often I'll post just yet. It may just be weekly weigh ins.

Be well,
John
