Day 26 of fitness plan
I’ve stuck to Weight Watchers four days in a row now, and either the scale is broken, or I’m losing a lot of weight fast. I’m betting the scale just sucks. It’s a 10-year-old digital bathroom scale in which I haven’t changed the battery in ages, but until its proven one way or the other,…

Day 25 of fitness plan
Three days in a row for sticking to Weight Watchers. I seem to be doing better with push-ups too. To heck with my previous theory about popping up at the end. The trick seems to be to do them as quickly as possible. That doesn’t mean only go half-way down like kids seem to do…

Day 24 of fitness plan
Woohoo, I’ve stuck to my diet two days in a row now, and my weight actually went down instead of up. Go figure. Weight:282.0 pounds Exercise:Week 4 Day 2 of the couch-to-5k plan Yesterday’s water:Two 1-liter bottles of tap water. Yesterday’s WW points:39 (40 food points – 1 activity points)

Day 23 of fitness plan
I actually stuck to my diet yesterday. I’m allowed 40 points per day on Weight Watchers, and I only used 36. I ate 40 points worth of food, but I earned 4 points for running. 18 points was for two and a half peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that I had as a late-night snack.…

Day 22 of fitness plan
It snowed last night as you can see from the picture. I ran on the treadmill today because of the snow. I got to watch a half-hour of the Karate Kid on AMC while I was at it. The odometer on the treadmill says that I went 1.75 miles. I seem to be making progress…

Many homes on the web
I was updating my media collection on Amazon today so that I can get better recommendations of new books to read, and I realized that I’ve got public profiles on a bunch of social networking sites. I thought I would try to keep better track of what they all are, and get rid of the…

Day 20 of fitness plan
I finished redoing the second week of the hundred pushups plan. I’ll do a progress test Sunday morning to determine whether I’ve improved enough to move up to week three. I think I’ve found a way to make the pushups easier, or I could just be fooling myself. I trying adding a kind of pop…

Day 19 of fitness plan
Jake and I went to the Bridger track this morning to run. It was definitely a lot more of a workout than running on the treadmill. I was surprised by this, but I guess I shouldn’t have since running on the treadmill Sunday and Tuesday this week had seemed easy. I just had to run…

Day 18 of fitness plan
I’m on vacation today and I slept in until almost 11:00. Obviously I gained more weight. Exercise alone (especially the tiny amount I’m doing) is not going to help me lose weight. Last night for dinner I had Kung Pao Chicken from Cathay Express followed by 3 doughnuts from the Quiktrip. I didn’t even try…
