Back to Weight Control

Six months ago, I posted this … click me … which basically stated that I had reached my goal weight of 140 pounds. After that post I actually lost 3 more pounds, putting me at 137. Over the past 6 months I’ve more or less stayed right around 140 – 142 … not too bad for winter time. Lately, however, I’ve balooned back up to 147 pounds. This situation is unacceptable. Time to Re-implement my rules:

  1. No eating after 7pm
  2. No snacking … 3 meals per day

For the time being, I won’t try to limit how much I eat at my scheduled feeding times. If I start training for a 5k, the 2 rules above should be enough to start losing weight. I’ve chosen the 1st Annual 5k run/walk for C.O.P.S. to be my first race of the year. It’s May 9th down at the Corning Preserve – about 3 weeks away. My goal is to weigh 137 pounds on June 10th … one day before going on vacation to Florida.

    Me too. Last month my doctor put me on Simvastatin for high LDL levels. Since then I’ve gained 6 pounds and am back up over 160. I don’t like it. I have no other risk factors for heart disease, so I am going to back off the statin and see what happens. I’m also going to only drink on the weekends.

    I’ll have to check with the wife to find out what simvastation is … sounds radioactive :)

    It’s getting warmer out … you should put your kayak in the water and start pounding out some laps … that’ll do it with no other adjustments in lifestyle.

    Your birthday’s coming up, Dad … we should get together soon.

    Tomorrow (Sunday) on the kayak thing. Going from Beacon to Peekskill – ’bout 17 miles. And yuppers on getting together.
