Crossing Over the Line
For the first time since I started eating solid food again after my October 2005 crash that broke my face, I am no longer overweight. Since January 2006, I have been consistently overweight with a maximum BMI of 28.12. This morning, at 174 pounds, my BMI has dropped below 25 for the first time in almost 2 years.
For the record, my weigh in nine weeks ago today was 22 pounds heavier. How did I do it?
I burn more calories than I take in. I keep very strict track of my food intake. I am doing more weight workouts, along with an hour or more of walking every day (I live 1.5 miles from the Caltrain Station and work in San Francisco. Might as well march it.) and trying to eat better.
Over the past month, I’ve averaged about 1810 calories in per day, 1167 calories of exercise per day, and lost an average of just under half a pound per day (with plateaus, small gains, and good losses).
I have 10 or 15 pounds left to lose, then it’s all about concentrating on athletic performance gains (not that I’m not focusing on that now).
Onward, friends! Ever onward!
Today: 174.0 pounds (78.93 kg) => 24.97 BMI (Normal).
