Last Week's Averages:
CALORIES 1668
CARBS 237 g
FAT 47 g
PROTEIN 101 g
Sodium: 2196 mg

Starting Weight: 346 lbs.
Current Weight: 217.8
Difference from last week: up 2.8 lbs.
Overall difference: down 128.2 lbs.

I visited my doctor last week. Kick-bun awesome news all around!

All blood counts and thyroid (I've been on HRT for thyroid for years) are normal.

Overall cholesterol = 200 (it was 194 last year)
HDL (good) cholesterol = 60 (it was 53 last year)
LDL (bad) cholesterol = 123 (it was 124 last year)
Ratio = 3.3 (it was 3.7 last year). Anything below 5.0 is good; I am in an exceptional range here.

Resting pulse = 72
EKG heartbeat = 53 (it was 52 last year), which is athlete level

I have what's called sinus bradycardia. This is not dangerous, and is found is 50 - 85% of the athletic population.

I am up 12.5 lbs. since last year, but I feel great and, per the numbers I am doing very well.

Essentially, the things that slow me down are weight, age and probably not the best of knees. But my heart can, it seems, run a marathon (don't get any ideas, Joe ....).

fabulous results and we already knew you had an awesome heart <smooches>

Mwah! Thank ya.

Great numbers.
I won't have any for here until I get home and weight in tomorrow morning.
Did get a couple of short runs in this week and watched the food so we'll see.

217... Hmmm I think that was the mark at which I started training for my first marathon.....it's not that big a deal.

Joe(he who is going for his fifth in November says)Nation

Haven't been here in a while.

I've been following the plan but I will admit that I'm not being as strict as I should be. I've been exercising but have been somewhat tired, so I've also been slower. As a result of both of these things, I'm up a total of 7.2 pounds since April 9th, which was the most recent week I posted a loss. It's not much, but it's a nibble here and a nibble there (quite literally) and it begins to add up.

As we say, argh. I really dislike menopausal sleep issues.

I have been the proverbial (or was it a pop-rock song?) bouncing ball. 204,203,205,206!,205 bleech.

joe(get a grip)nation

Here is everything I ate today.

For lunch:
zucchini creme soup with bread
2 cups of coffee substitute with artificial sweetener
a cup of fruit salad

In the evening:
5 gherkins
1 hard-boiled egg
1 liter sparkling water
2 pieces of crispbread covered with margarine and sausage
3 pieces of crispbread
1 liter tea with artificial sweetener

I want to avoid sweets for one month because in the last months I began to eat them almost every day. Now I have increased a bit weight (I do not weigh myself every day so i guess the increase is between 5 to 10kg) and want to loose those pounds. Writing down all the stuff I eat at a day might help being consequent.
