Weekly Weight Loss Report - Feb 26, 2008

Categories: Weekly Weigh-in
One week late again, but I did weigh in last Tuesday and I saved my numbers. I made a tiny bit of progress, but the more important change over the week was finding a new focus on exercising. Rather than just putting in my time on the treadmill I have started writing down my time and distance and shifting my focus to increasing my distance covered in the time I spend on the treadmill. So instead of just doing 20 minutes, I do 20 minutes but focus on going faster and further than the last time.
Maybe that is an obvious idea to most people, but by looking at how far I am going and how fast I am doing it I have managed to log a lot more time doing cardio exercise and it feels less boring too. It’s easier to be on the treadmill for 45 minutes if I see that I am going to reach a new distance milestone rather than just being on the treadmill for another 45 minutes like every other time. Give it a try if you find your cardio time is getting a little stale.
I am looking forward to tomorrow’s weigh-in and I am hopeful for some better results as I have been doing this for a full week now and I have been much better with my diet this week as well. Now, I just need to make the time to post my results the same day I weigh in.

*Note about this weight loss chart. When I started this blog I weighed 266 pounds and I was only tracking my pounds lost each week. On November 28, 2007 I started using a new scale that tracks body fat and more (the numbers you see above). I report the figures from that scale in these weekly posts and I still track my total pounds lost in the Weight Loss Goals section in the sidebar on my site.
