Day 5 (August 22), another pound gone
250/244/200
August 22, 2006 Day 5 of 100 days. 6 pounds gone. I got on my balance-beam scale this morning and saw that another pound it gone. I weigh 244 pounds (just below the 245 pound mark). Last night, before I went to bed, I'm sure that I was at least several pounds over this mark. I drank a lot of water last evening at the birthday party for one of our children and that was reflected on the scales. However, I had to wake up several times in the course of the night to use the bathroom and in the morning I actually lost a pound. I had more calories yesterday that I was hoping to--about 1600 calories at all. However, this morning, I was listening to radio physician Dr. Dean Edell and he said that the average calorie intake in the United States was 3770 calories, the highest calorie average in the world. Canada is second. (Please see the Reuters News article of Jul 29, 2008 entitled: “US food portions: Monuments of Decadence?” or just plug “3,770 calories” into your Google search engine.) The average American eats out about six times a week and gets much of the calories at that time. So, even though I had more calories yesterday that I should have, I'm not consuming the average amount of the American caloric intake. Although I'm sure I was a week ago. I hope everyone is able to get control of their caloric intake and follow the basic truths that to lose weight, one simply must take in fewer calories than one needs to maintain one’s weight. From my perspective, my game face is on and I’m in training to get healthy by Thanksgiving! (Not even desert or beer at last night’s birthday party, and the meal itself was not more than about 800 calories.) Have a great weekend and a great week and month ahead! Yours, Caleb |

Yours, Caleb Just came back from a 40 minute walk with ankle weights (10 pounds on each ankle) and pumping 10 pound weights up and down. Arms are very tired but a very good, sweat inducing workout. Listening to my mp3 player at the same time. Very nice night out here with very pretty clouds, etc. I had about 1500 calories today, everything being even, and subtracting about 400 for the exercise, about 1100 calories in all so far today. I hope everyone finds a plan that works for them and sticks to it! Yours, Caleb |
