What the Hell are the Numbers (Part IV)

Greetings again, folks. A sudden request from my school to present a paper on my research at a symposium sort of took up a lot of time last week, so sorry about the missed update. I do have some new and exciting numbers for you fine internet voyeurs, however, so lets get straight to it.

Height: 6'4"
Age: 23
Weight (as of 4/18/10): 289.2 lbs
BMI: 35.2
Body fat percentage: 30.98-36.48%


Making some great progress so far, and the push for 30 lbs by May 8th continues! Still running, still limiting my diet and as you can see, its having some profound effects. If you are ever curious about when and how much I am exercising, poke on over to my twitter page http://twitter.com/Richek as I fairly consistently post the results of my runs. As is the norm, however, there is also a lot of trivial bullshit that will be posted there, so keep an eye out for that as well.


See you in the next post!

Where the Hell Has He Been?

 Ok, so I kinda screwed that one up. The posting, no so much the weight loss I mean. Almost three months since my last post? Yeeeesh, sorry about that. There is much to discuss, but before any of that, here are the numbers for today. Its all below the cut!

What the Hell Are the Numbers? (Part 3)

Here are the numbers for the week ending in on January 24th.

 Height: 6'4"
Age:  23
Starting weight for week:  301.33 (the corrected weight for last week)
Weight (as of morning of 1/24/10): 298.6
Corrected weight (for 1/23/10): 300.65
Adjusted weight change for week: .68 lbs
Approximate weight change per day: .10 lbs
BMI: 36.3
Body fat percentage: 32.45-38%

As predicted, there was a rather dramatic drop off in the weight loss this week. Part of it was the lack of exercize, and part of it was the way the numbers work out. What you cant see here are the scores for the week which are a lot more stable than the week prior which were all over the place. The variation has settled down quite a bit, with an average top (evening) weight of only 301.88 and an average bottom (morning) weight of  299.43. Contrast this with the week prior with an average top weight of  302.48 and an average bottom weight of 300.94, and you can see why I am still confident. The numbers are a little misleading at this point, but only at first glance. I'll be putting the daily numbers into a more readable form in a week or so when I do some graphing.

More later!

What the hell, man?

Ok, so I kinda dropped the ball on posting again. Classes have started in earnest so my time is at a premium. Exercise and diet are going well, expect a numbers post later tonight.

Sorry folks!

How the Hell Did He Work Out? (part the first)

Getting back into the crossfit game, here are the numbers:

2x 15 squats
2x 10 lunges
2x 15 pushups
2x 15 second plank

I shortened the routine until I can get a better handle on it, and thank god I did. The lunges nearly did me in again and by the last plank I was fairly light headed and very happy to stop. Feel a little better about the workout this time but the morning will tell if the pain will return.

I tried a new way to go about this and actually did the workout while waiting for my dinner (the ragout I posted last week) to finish cooking. It worked well and actually provided the perfect break in between sets to stir it and make sure everything was ok.

More on wednesday!

Here's to health!

What the Hell Are the Numbers (Part 2)

So, its that time of week where I share with you all the numbers of my (hopefully) diminishing shame. I did a spot of math and came up with this week's changes, and so far it looks pretty good. Numbers below the jump!

Why the Hell Hasnt He Posted?

Ok, so I admit, I sort of slacked off there for a few days. The long and short of it is that classes started this week and a few days were eaten up by settling my schedule. Now that its all said and done, its time to get back to the blog.

So, a few updates and a confession. First, the confession:

My birthday was back on Wednesday (the 13th) and on Tuesday, a good friend took me out for dinner. I got was I thought was a vegetarian friendly pasta dish, but I later found out that the sauce had meat in it. Whoops. It was a fairly minor slip up, but hey, this blog is all about full disclosure.

Now for the updates.
