Weight Loss Chart

weight loss chart

I thought there would be more swings with the weight. This week I will be more active. And with the weather be so nice I plan on walking every day at lunch.

The Stats:

Weight:

230 I’ve lost 7 pounds since I started this web site. I’m not surprised my weight is down, and now with warmer weather ahead it’s time to plan some out side activities.

Waste:
43 inches: I’m surprised I didn’t lose at least 1 inch, but added an inch?? Not sure what’s going on there. So I’ll add some exercises to put attention on the middle of my body.

Max heart beat.
Woah… I never expected to see 164 bpm and I was walking (up a hill) during lunch.

Heart rate at rest:
Maybe my most important measurement now registering around 62 a pretty good drop for someone staring at a computer screen most of the day.

SWOT

Strength
OK I have another month to have some fun and the weather has been pretty good for being outside. I’m not sure the weather will hold up for February, but who knows, maybe I’ll send George B. a thank you letter. If the weather is not so good I have several DVDs on yoga and tai chi that haven’t been opened yet.

Weakness
The holidays are over and my diet is almost back to normal. I had a lot of parties and great food.

I’ve tried some instant soup and I think they have too much salt or sodium. OK, so I’ll read the label next time. I’m also enjoying the chocolates and donuts at work.

Opportunities
This a good time to start some new fun things indoors, I haven’t been out dancing and this maybe a fun way to get a good sweat going. The weather is great for walking outside. Signed up for a years membership to the Chattahoochee River
Park system. There are about 12? different parks systems stretching from Atlanta to Lake Lanier.

Threats

The flu season is over and living in Atlanta smog is the next problem to deal with. So I’m going to take some extra precautions by: Including daily: Lemonade, vitamin C and zinc.
A big threat is getting lazy and not having a positive outlook, so I’ll keep a list of long term goals and accomplishments in front of me.
Not sure how to over come the chocolate urges yet.

Goals for May

Go dancing twice this month
Start a weekly exercise program of at least 2 times every other day.
Have some time every morning to think what I will do to make this day a positive one and to do some thing to increase my heart rate for at least 20 minutes.
Make a veggie casserole and bread.

These can all be fun things to do and there is nothing about losing weight or lowering this or raising that. Yeah these can be enjoyable and get a lot of my goals to have a healhy lifestyle.
