I forgot to put the website of the biggest loser (on week 18 of 20 weeks)
http://biggestloser.mynameistim.com/ click on leaderboard to see how its going.
Blood Pressure was really high always in high before I started 140s and 90s and has dropped every few weeks today its was in the 100s and 60s.
Which much better result than I was expecting.
What I have been doing to get get the results
Exercise
I have been running about 10-60 (4-8 at a time) miles a week, get up at 5:30 am
Playing basketball 4 times a week (always did this)
Swimming 2 times a week for about 1 mile (already was doing this did)
Abs work since this may be the only chance to see them
Extra work around house on the hunt for anything that burns calories, (ask Michelle, house is much cleaner than before, she always did (90% and I did 5%, now I do 20%)
Eating ( I still eat more than anyone at my house)
Breakfasts: wheaties with non fat milk or oatmeal
Lunch: lots of fruit, light left overs, cheese stick and almondsDinner: wife cooks good, just have not overeat like I love to, though I have my own notfat milk, kids call it the purple milk since it has the purple lid.
Snacks and candy have been cut to minimum, and cut out fast food. (did not do this before)
Use stairs always when I can (100 stairs to work) go up and down 2-3 times a day (did not do this before)
Drink lots of water (did not do this before)
Affects:I run better and jump better than I ever remember, I think about food a lot. Especially burgers such as the new Carls jr burger signs with pineapple. Drool… my almonds don’t match it. I found out I could run long distances.
I don’t watch much TV(big good change for me), or computer games (big good change for me), get up early and go to bed earlier. I hope when this is all done I can keep most the habits, I will cut back in the running, eat more and start doing some wieghts next. If I do not keep my blood pressure down its was all for nothing.
progress
