Overstacked Actor Update June 2, 2008

I am posting as an update to last week’s post and as part of the ragamuffintop challenge as well.

As a quick refresher; over at ragamuffin soul, ‘los has issued a weight loss challenge and I decided to take the bait.  No big prize, just health.  I am so much happier when I’m in shape and plus I need to lose the pounds.  Therefore after one week…here’s the stats:

5/27/08:  201 lbs.
6/02/08:  199 lbs.
Goal = 185 lbs. 
 

I realize that I only lost two stinkin’ pounds but I had forgotten to weigh in until AFTER I had gotten dressed (which might be worth one pound MAYBE).  Either way not very impressive results. 

Factors from the week: 
Eating:  I ate slightly better that I had been.  The peanut butter and chocolate raids were kept to a minimum.   Still did gorge myself on Saturday night with Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and Bratwurst.  Alcohol consumption was minimal.
Exercising:  Non-Existent.  I did do 15 push-ups and 15 sit-ups one day last week; not enough to make a difference.
 
What I need to do to improve:
Eating:  Continue with less junk food.  More lean meats, veggies, fruit.  Try to avoid my wife’s ploy to keep me large and ignore the butterfingers she purchased at the grocery yesterday.  I need to keep eating like I did today for lunch.  Take a peek into my lunch pail:
 
Exercising:  Hopefully with some motiviation, I will begin swimming laps at the Y with the left handed swimmer this week (even though we’ll have to go at insanely early times.)

Hopefully, I will be making much greater strides towards my goal by this time next week.

Jad I am with you on the Ragamuffin challenge. Eating is what I have to control because doing the exercise is no problem.

You can get to 190, but I will try to sabotage you going any lower until after the baby is born. :)
