Day 1 of the 100 Day Diet started Sunday at Midnight!
Day 1 of the 2004 100 Day Diet -- 100 days from midnight last night --
Sunday – will take one to midnight the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Start today and end the Wednesday before Thanksgiving – or tomorrow and end on Thanksgiving. I had about 1400 calories today and weighed 236 when I came home this evening following a three day camping trip. (There were no bathroom scales for me to weigh myself this morning at Sawyer's Bar in the Sister's Wilderness area of Oregon.) On Saturday and Today, we did about 5 or 6 miles with packs on, and on Sunday, we went about 11 miles. A lot of fun, but arduous for an old-timer like. Especially one who weighs 230 some odd pounds. Along the Pacific Crest Trail, though, where we were, there hiked by groups of extraordinary people who started at the California-Mexico border on the traditional start date of the Pacific Crest Trail hiking season of about April 23 and who will wind up in Canada in late September or early October. By the time they reached our position last night, they had hiked 1,900 miles. Truly amazing folks! They generally aimed at about 20 to 30 miles of hiking a day. They're really in a league of their own. Several had dogs with little saddle packs on and the pooches seemed to be having a good time. Our little hiking group usually celebrates the end of our hikes by going to dinner at the Gallery Restaurant in Sisters, Oregon, but this time I declined as I started my diet today. That's the way it goes... For the next 100 days, I will aim at 1000 or so calories a day, will exercise daily, will avoid all bread and beer, will weigh myself daily, etc. And by Thanksgiving I will weigh about 40 pounds less than I do now (unless the laws of physics are suspended in my neck of the woods – and they aren't). 100 Days is not the longest period of time in the world, but it sure is a length of time in which one can greatly improve one's health. While I sure don't have any ambitions to complete the Pacific Crest Trail, I do hope to improve my health levels, and so it's now time to start the training! I hope everyone succeeds in their approach to improving their health! It's not easy – in large part because of so many distracters and temptations – but it is a straightforward process. Fewer calories in than one burns up and weight is lost. More calories than one burns up and weight is gained. Caleb 236/190 |
