rootarcana.com - blogThe daily (or so) musings of Rob L Glazebrook.Diet update: week 3- June 26, 2007 So it's been three weeks since I started my diet. Overall, my progress is decidedly so-so. Last week wasn't the easiest time for a diet, since I ate most meals out and thus couldn't really count calories. But here are some basic stats. Weight (625): 198.5 pounds, which is up 2 pounds from 625's low of 196.5. However, I actually managed to gain three pounds before I left for Seattle, meaning I was still able to lose a pound while noshing predominately on restaurant foods. I'm pretty okay with...http://www.rootarcana.com/blog/archives/2007/06/diet_update_week_3.php Calves also suck, but differently so.- June 19, 2007 So I got to hang out in southern Iowa (outside Osceola, for those counting) at my Grandma Glazebrook's place over the weekend. I had a really good time, and got to see a lot of family I hadn't seen in over a year. My uncle Rod was back (family in tow) from Ohio, and uncle Rick came all the way down from the next house over to join in the festivities as well. Amanda came with, making the trip her first time meeting That Side of the family. They treated her nice enough. Then again, that is the...http://www.rootarcana.com/blog/archives/2007/06/calves_also_suck_but.php Why triathletes suck.- June 18, 2007 Before we get into the rant of the day, I thought I'd take a moment to update you-all (who, I am sure, are as equally obsessed with such things as I) on my diet! Wait for it... Weight lost (611-618): 4lbs, bringing me to 196.5 pounds, or 8.5 pounds lost so far. Calories consumed (611-617): 9787, or right around 1400 per day. Caloric deficit (611-617): 10183, or a little over 1400 per day. A lot of that is due to extra calories burned during exercise. Notes of... note: I actually gained...http://www.rootarcana.com/blog/archives/2007/06/why_triathletes_suck.php Chuck Norris wears Mark Wahlberg underwear.- June 12, 2007 Because it occupies a nearly unhealthy portion of my thoughts, here's an update on how my diet is going so far (Monday morning the 4th - Monday morning the 11th): I lost a total of 4.5 pounds (205 - 200.5). My weight loss has slowed from earlier in the week, which could be because I'm just hitting my average loss rates now, or possibly because I'm gaining muscle. Either way, I should be under 200 pounds some time this week, for the first time in a couple of years.I consumed an average of...http://www.rootarcana.com/blog/archives/2007/06/chuck_norris_wears_m.php Robby's Quasi-Productive Week- June 7, 2007 I feel like I've had a fairly productive week so far, life-wise. To celebrate, I made you this list. One: I started a new diet this week in an attempt to lose a bit of nonessential body fat. To make the diet more fun and exciting, I created a spreadsheet. Perhaps I'm the only one (on earth) that thinks spreadsheets are cool, but whatever. I could use the additional motivation. My spreadsheet automatically estimates my resting metabolic rate (RMR) based on my age (to the day), height, and...http://www.rootarcana.com/blog/archives/2007/06/robbys_quasiproducti.php |
