#GoTheDist: Q1 Complete

with today’s workout complete, Q1 of the #GoTheDist challenge is as well

Q1 mileage: January: 114.23 bike / 4.01 walking

February: 62.18 bike / 8.61 walking

March: 62.57 bike / 31.24 walking

Total: 238.98 bike . / 43.86 walking

Although only the ~239 miles counts for #GoTheDist, I’m very impressed with those totals. While it looks like I wasn’t any more active in March than I was in a (sick & traveling) February, it’s more that I walked home a lot more. Not as strenuous as the gym, but good activity and good for the head.

Challenges

no, not involving blogging more. I randomly have the best of intentions which then fade fast.

Challenges of the activity variety. Back in February I mentioned a challenge that seemed interesting. Of course, I did nothing with it. Lately, I’ve been watching Fat Girl vs. World’s #GoTheDist challenge and I decided if I didn’t join I wouldn’t do it. So I signed up. I tracked nearly 520 miles this yr. of exercise from April to December. I think I can do 750 next year. Maybe my knee will even strengthen to the point where I can get past the . . . → Keep Going: Challenges

what a difference a year makes

I was thinking a lot today about why I’ve been struggling since September. Well maybe struggling isn’t the word, but losing focus. I’m still basically where I was in September but there has been a lot of up and down and a lot of crap food choices causing the ups in that up and down . Where on earth is the focus and commitment I had from March to September? And what can I do to get it back?

It’s all about the percentages

% Pounds Lost Date 10 20.9 4/27 WI 20 41.8 7/28 WI 25 52.25 30 62.7 33 68.97 40 83.6

When I first joined Weight Watchers I was curious how they set mini goals as percentages. I shouldn’t say I like absolutes as I still haven’t set a goal, but I really don’t like %s. They don’t mean as much to me when I have to do the math. I guess I prefer to think in decades. Still, I decided tonight to think about the percentages. I had no idea how close I was to 25% until I did the . . . → Keep Going: It’s all about the percentages

-6? Um, wow

I’m not calling it a 6lb loss, but I’ll certainly take the numbers. Brings me to 48.2 overall.

Part of the reason last week’s gain was as bad as it was was that I knew the week was a lost one from half ass tracking and poor food choices, so what did I do on WI eve? Chicken burger with avocado, fries and a ton of salt and then dessert when I got home. Not the best decision and I didn’t track it, but I moved on.

Good WI and WOW I’m sore

no, those two are not connected. The scale did not attack me.

First of a gajillion errands today was WI. Really wasn’t sure what to expect as I hadn’t been on the scale since Tuesday night the night after the Jolly Joe’s. I ate much better later in the week, but didn’t know if I had undone the damage since I also hadn’t been to the gym since Tuesday. Saturday 11am meeting also had a very different vibe than Wednesday evening. Still think I’m meeting shopping.

Down 1.4. Happy with that. Means I’m at 171.4 and 37.6 total since March . . . → Keep Going: Good WI and WOW I’m sore
