progress
Hellooooooooo,
Last night (Thursday) I went to Fitness center because I did not want to be in my apt doing nothing. I have been going there since monday and ran almost 7 miles and burned close to 1100 calories just running on the treadmill. So, I was kinda tired and lazy to workout four days in a row.
This is how much I ran for three days.
August 27th 194/192.5 lbs 2.92!!! miles 500!!! calories 38!!! minutes
August 28th 196/195 lbs 1.0 miles 150 calories 20 minutes
August 29th 196/194.5 lbs 2.82 miles 486 calories 37 minutes
However, I am glad I went in. I did not feel like running again. I thought I would lift weights and do few crunches and go home. But my routine always had been to go check my weight first, and then hop on a treadmill. So, I followed my routine and mounted on a treadmill for light running. But some how I changed my mind once I started running. I never stopped for 30 minutes. I was really going full steam for the first time on a treadmill. I had speed control at 7 and incline at 15 degrees. I n just 30 mintues I have burned 500 calories first time. I was ecstatic.
August 30th 195/192.5 lbs 2.82 miles 504 calories 32!!!! minutes
I have been noticing this lately. I start out really sluggish but end on a good note every time I step on the treadmill. I just don't want to step down without burning my body because it feels good after you are done. You feel that you are improving your stamina with each run. But, one thing I have to mention that I have not been really happy about is my weight remained more or less the same for the last 2 weeks. I am just hovering around 195 lbs which I have achieved around the beginning of August. I guess it is hard to lose more weight after you lose initial 10-15 pounds. And then the body is really stubborn to lose anymore because it does not like it. So, I have been putting more pressure on my body and telling it to lose more fat. This week has been the most I have worked out in my whole entire (two perfect synonyms :)) life and hopefully my body will listen.
As of last night I have weighed 195/192.5 (before/after workouts). Looking forward to losing MAS GRASA!!!!
Hasta Luego,

Still kicking
Hello,
I have not had time to update on the weight loss progress. I am doing okay but the thing I have noticed lately is I am not losing fat faster than when I started. It's been a struggle to lose couple of pounds now than before. Now, I weight at 194 lbs.
I think I hit the plateau stage. I think my body is most comfortable at this weight for many years which is between 192-197 pounds. So, I think I really have to work harder than before to shrink my weight to 180 pounds. I think its a tall order, but one that I want to achieve.
Let's see....I will try to reach there by November 5th, why, because it is my birthday :)

weight loss journey
Hello world,
Last time I wrote my first ever blog titled "My fight to lose weight". Since I am doing okay losing weight, I have decided to sort of update how i am doing by writing more weight loss blogs.
As I mentioned in the previous blog, I weighed in at 207 lbs on July the 7th. So, its been a month already and I am glad I stuck to my plan of daily exercise and eating less and better. I have worked out almost 5 days weeks and cooked my food all thru the one month period. I think the results are not that bad. I weighed in at 196.5 pounds last night. yes, a weight loss of 10 pounds in a month.
I have been reading a lot of web sites associated with dieting, losing weight. Most of them say losing 1-3 pounds a week is good for the body than loosing a lot by over exercising and eating really small portions of food. But there are times I felt like I should be doing more to lose weight quickly or I get bored doing the same thing over and over again like running between 2.5-3.0 miles and crunches. But I am really satisfied overall with my progress so far and I plan to lose more in the next couple of months.
I got really excited yesterday to see my weight at 196.5 and at 195.5 after working out. The day before I weighed in at 199.5. That means I have lost 3 lbs in one day. I felt really excited but had my own doubts if the scale was working ok. My regimen got more enjoyable since the last couple of days as I started swimming before leaving the fitness center. This helped me relax in the pool and also burn more calories at the same time. I would like to swim 10-15 laps at least but right now I get really tired with just 5 laps.
The target weight for a male 5' 8" tall is 154 and high is 171. Right now, I weigh 196 lbs. I am 25 lbs overweight today even after loosing 11 lbs in a month. I do not think I want to be at 154 because that would be losing 50 lbs which is very tough and very lean for my body type. If I can get to 171 with a good muscle definition that would be a dream, but I would be really happy If I can reach my target weight I set in my mind on New years, which is good round number 180.
I have 16 pounds to burn now.........................................................
