Man On A Bench

Man On A Bench

Friday, January 8, 2016

And on the seventh day, he rested

Well, sort of rested.  I took a longer walk and cut back on the elliptical time while adding more tension to the mechanism.

Statistics for January 7:

STEPS:   9059 (under AHA 10K goal)
MILES:  4.09
ACTIVE: 50 min
CALORIES: 2721

SLEEP: 9 hr, 17 min (awake x1, restless x3)

NOTE: I was awakened by my wife's backup alarm at 5:10 am and had to find it, figure out how to shut it off before going back to sleep.  She has discontinued its use.

In keeping with my once a week weigh-in philosophy, I also weighed in yesterday:

Starting weight:   238.0 pounds
Weight on 7 Jan:  230.8 pounds
Total weight lost:     7.2 pounds

Not too shabby, a pound a day.  My doctor told me to lose six pounds, so I have surpassed her goal.  My initial goal is to get below 220 pounds, which will slide down in 20 pound increments until I reach 160 again.  Of course, the last time I weighed 160 pounds was 34 years ago when we lived in Italy!
