Year 2 Week 30 Day 1

One Week, One Pound.

Like the Russkies of the 1960s I am about to unroll a new pogrom. Um, that might be over-selling it a bit but I have a catchy new slogan.

60 – 2 – 40

I know the number thing is done to death, but I kind of like it. Here's what it means: I'll be forty years old in sixty days so I will be working my ass off for the next sixty days to reach a very unlikely goal.

More on that later here are this week's numbers:

Weights and Measures:
	Weight	Blood P.	Hips	Gut	Chest	Neck	Pulse
End Goal	200.00	110/70	38.00	36.00	42.00	16.00	60.00
7/19/2010	302.60	149/99	46.50	53.25	54.50	18.00	70.00
This Week	297.80	148/93	46.25	52.75	53.50	18.25	73.00
Change	(4.80)	-1/-6	(0.25)	(0.50)	(1.00)	0.25	3.00
To Goal:	(97.80)	-38/-23	(8.25)	(16.75)	(11.50)	(2.25)	(13.00)

Next week's number: 295.4 lbs.

Ah, but wait that's not true. The 60-2-40 plan is to reach 250 by September 28. That is nine weeks to lose 47.80 lbs. So the goal for next week is really…carry the one, divide by theta and raise to the power of pi…5.31 lbs.

Part of that is related to food but most of it is related to:

Yep, all fails all the time that is my motto. Also, making shitty mottos is my motto.

So part two of the 60-2-40 plan is getting all Pass in all categories over the next nine weeks.

Finally,

Finances:
	Last Week
Debt	(47,258.24)
Assets	38,617.47
Net Worth	(8,640.77)

 

So I am going to try to get this balance 2,000 closer to zero by Sept, ideally I'd get to zero but come on.

A lot of work to do over the course of two months and a chance to set the clock back to 1998 or so, that being the last time I was at or under 250 lbs.

Happy Effing Birthday to me.

Later.

Took a big step back this week.

Tough week for a whiny, emotional eater like yours truly. Dad died just under a year ago and this weekend was the first time his birthday came up since he died. Found out a friend had thyroid cancer through Facebook which says a lot more about how shitty a friend I am more than anything else. Oh yeah and his brother died of cancer last week too, so my complaining about anything is really pathetic at this point. My mom's going in for 11 hours or so of back surgery to try and repair severe damage to the bones of her lower spine.

So I ate my grief in a quart of Cookies and Cream Ice cream. I really gotta look into bulimia at least occasionally.

Man, what a whiny little bastard I am.

Here's another reason for the terrible results.

I am running out of steam to complain about how terrible I am so I am ending this shame-fest.

Later,

Year 2 Week 28 Day 1

When you see the results it won't look great but two points. One, I had pizza on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and this is remarkable because usually the Friday order barely lasts through Saturday breakfast. Two, this is my second straight week of under 300. Baseball has the Mendoza line, I'll call three bills the Winfrey line and the inverse relationship in that you don't want to go over the Winfrey line.

Here are the numbers for last week:

Weights and Measures:
	Weight	Blood P.	Hips	Gut	Chest	Neck	Pulse
End Goal	200.00	110/70	38.00	36.00	42.00	16.00	60.00
7/5/2010	299.60	149/96	46.75	52.00	53.25	18.75	69.00
This Week	299.20	149/97	47.00	53.25	54.00	18.50	74.00
Change	(0.40)	+0/+1	0.25	1.25	0.75	(0.25)	5.00
To Goal:	(99.20)	-39/-26	(9.00)	(17.25)	(12.00)	(2.50)	(14.00)

 

Another week missing the One Week, One Pound and apparently very flexible mantra. How about Two Weeks, Just over One Pound? It's just not as catchy.

Look at that! Another correlation between a lack of exercise and a miss on the goals for that week.

Next week's number: 297.4 lbs.

I'll also try to get under 290 by the end of the week as I work off the weekend excess.

Last note on the exercise, yes the results are awful, but I managed to do some cleanup work around the apartment moving boxes and book shelves and the like without crying.

Paid all my monthly bills already too. I just got the renewals on my insurance so I will be trying to pay the entire six months in advance.

So the expenses are slowly being controlled and I am focusing on paying down one credit card at a time until they are all zero. Right now it's Dell and then it's Wells Fargo. Watch out, by 2012 I'll be all paid up and ready for the end of the world.
