Fitness/Weight loss Update

Howdy Folks! How was your weekend? That's great, listen I have some fitness/ weight loss news for ya'll so pipe down and listen up.


Last Tuesday I went to the gym. It was a nice day, a perfect day for running outside, but I hadn’t been to the gym since early May so it was time to check to see if I had made any progress in my weight loss saga since then. Before I weighed-in I ran on the treadmill. I set the time for 60 minuets. I ran constantly at a setting of 6.5 mph for 4 miles. (I still don’t know if that setting is mph or what, but what else could if be?) I then walked a quarter of a mile, then picked up the running again at 6.5 mph and finished the 60 minuets constantly running. I hit the 6.2 miles (10K) at 58:25 why I couldn’t do that at the hospital hill run I’ll never know. The total distance was 6.45 miles in 60 minuets, which is a new record for distance in 60 minuets. Which is a definite improvement from the last time I ran on the treadmill. So I’m going to say it was a good and satisfying workout.

As for the weight-in, as I cooled down in the locker room I kept having this absolutely crushing, crippling, feeling, it’s kind of difficult to describe, but it’s like you know something is about to go wrong or that you just know nothing good can come from certain situations. I started getting the standard nervous feelings that I usually get when I know I have to do something that I don’t want to do, mostly that entails my stomach performing back-flips, summersaults, crazy eights, all at the same time and usually ends with either, me farting so loudly that it can be heard in the next county, with people asking "Its there an elephant in the area?" or me passing out either way it sucks. Needless to say I don’t like feeling like that so I usually just avoid those situations like I avoid the crazy cat throwing women and those dirty homeless men that hang out at Mill Creek Park when I run outside.

The reason that I had felt like that is because I hadn’t been working out the way that I had been working out, but more on that later.

I strip down out of my wet clothes and put on my underwear and step on the scale. But before I step on the scale (it’s the kind of scale that you adjust yourself) I set it to 190 pounds thinking that I had gained weight. Long story short I keep moving the weight all the way down until I hit 180 lbs and the counter balance evens out. I’m pretty pumped about the results so far but I am not happy at the amount of time it has taken me to get here.

That’s a total loss of 70 pounds in 10 and a half months. Which is nothing to sneeze at, don't get me wrong I am proud that I have reached this point. But since the beginning of the year I have only lost 20 pounds. To further the frustration and disappointment I have only lost 5 pounds in a month and a half. To keep the depression going even further I have been 185 pounds since St. Patricks Day. So it’s really a 5 pound loss in 3 and a half months.

I know exactly why I haven’t lost any weight, or at least very little in that time frame. It’s simply because I have not been working out the way that I was, before the beginning of the year when I was averaging a 10 pound loss per month. In mid February I shifted my workouts from calorie burning to more of a fitness result workout. I started concentrating on my fitness goal, setting and accomplishing, (Trolley Run, Hospital Hill Run WOOT, WOOT) fitness goals instead of weight loss goals. You see, to me, the weight loss goals are totally different from the fitness goals. Much like eating for weight loss is different that eating healthy, at least for me it is.

For the weight loss goals I concentrate on the calories burned when running, for the fitness goals I concentrate on the distance and time. On the weight loss I make the treadmill slope, or set the incline to a steeper than normal slope, somewhere around 5-7% incline. When I focus on the fitness the treadmill is set to 0% incline, or flat, but still set for the same time for both, 60 min.

The problem is that I haven’t been going to the gym. I have been running outside, but with the same consistency of when I was going to the gym both of which were 3-5 days a week. But the route that I run is only 4 miles but does include some pretty tough hills. That route only takes me 35-40 minuets. So I am not burning the same amount of calories when I run outside as opposed to when I go to the gym 3-5 days a week. One bonus of running outside is that I have a pretty kick-ass farmers tan going, ya I know your jealous.

So…

Having said all of that…

It’s time to begin the final push to the final goal. I have never stated what the final weight loss goal was, and I am not about to now.

Although, I have always known what it is and now I know how far I am from it now. I have a little less than two and a half months before the final weight in on September 1st . I will have to begin incorporating some cross training, like the elliptical machine or weight training or both. All of this means I will not be able to focus on the fitness aspect of my goals. This blows because there are 2 runs coming up in the fall and I would at least like to compete in at least one of them. Both are further distances that I have previously run and I would like to run the distance at least once before the actual date of the actual run.

But I set my weight loss goals before the fitness goals so the weight loss goals will trump the fitness goals every single time.

But I will be doing a couple of 5K’s in the next 2 months just for shits and giggles.

As Rocky’s trainer tell him in the latest Rocky movie when he starts to train…

“It’s time to build some hurtin’ bombs.

”Or if you like – “The pain train is comin’, CHOOO-CHOOO”
