I Am Overweight!
And why would I be proud of such a thing? Because I have just made it out of the OBESE category.

Monday, 5/15/2017
And this was just my first goal.
Now I've got my eye fixed on 200 pounds by September. I haven't weighed that little (so to speak) since 2009, when I was suffering from suicidal depression and was seriously mentally ill after my second wife left me. So that's kind of a big deal, too. But for now, I'm just going to enjoy this moment.
I Am Overweight! Huzzah!!
Oh . . . and let's not forget this:
Caveat comedenti: The following is meant primarily to serve as a Bullshit Detector for me. If anyone Out There derives inspiration (or laughs--what the hell, right?) from My Fat Struggle, that's lovely, but I don't have any expectation that anyone other than myself will be interested in this.
Just sayin', sir.

* Speaking of which, this is not a cutsie pie slang term; Kroger Nutty Nuggets is Grape Nuts without the advertising campaign. And it's pretty good shit, man. I like its chewiness. I do feel like I'm eating horse food, but not in a bad way. It's also a Top Product on Foodeducate. (With a grade of "A-"; y'know, I don't think I've ever seen an "A" on that website. What's up with that?)
** Just to see, I weighed myself before and after exercising today. Before I weighed 221.2. After I weighed 219.2. *** So there's that.
*** Which is .6 pounds more than my best ever weigh in (yesterday), but y'know, that's a half a shit or a good piss, so I'm not really thinking too much about that. Although I would like to get WELL into the overweight zone and stay there ASAP. Speaking of, here's this for future reference:

Week 13: Wednesday, 5/17/2017
These are the 38" waist pants that I couldn't even fit into a few weeks ago. It can be done! And you don't need an expensive gym or a commercial weight loss plan to do it! (Might be time for me to write a pen to the Weslo Momentum G 3.2 Exercise Bike ($157 at Walmart), though. More news as it happens.
Food:
Breakfast: coffee 10c, NNuggets 200c / 7gF, sunflower seeds 33c / .5gF, almond milk 25c, 16 oz water, crisp 110 / 3gF [378c / 10.5 gF]

BTW . . . one of the disadvantages of living pretty much alone (Suburban Hermit might be the title of my autobiography) except for two autistic people is that you don't get a whole helluva lot of feedback reference your personal appearance. So when you lose 40 pounds over the course of three months, there aren't too many people to say, "Say, haven't you lost a lot of weight?" Which is okay, but it certainly does help to keep the motivation going when you have that kind of feedback. Ex-wife #1 has commented on it, but she's known me for 35 years, and we married for almost half of those years, so she'd notice if I had a hangnail. It's still nice to get the compliment, of course, but . . . well, if you've had a marriage that was pretty good and lasted for awhile, you known what I mean. But today one of Joe's therapist said, "You're really losing a lot of weight now!" and asked me how I'd done it and then said that she might have to guy buy a Weslo Momentum G 3.2 herself if it worked that well for me. So that was quite nice.
In other news . . . I decided to up my push-ups to 8. You'll know why if you read my Push-ups entry. If you didn't . . . well, hell, why not? It's got a GIF and everything.
Word up.

Exercise: stretching + weights + 8 push-ups, 15 vLL /30bp/40 sit-ups/5 sit-ups/15bp/15c/15r + 38 minutes stationary bike -600 calories. Moving slow today for reasons unknown. Very whooped, though. Which is why it took two extra minutes to hit the 600 calorie mark.
1 Just have to say . . . this stuff was SO good that it made me miss my mama. In fact, do good that I decided I needed to have another slice, hence the big calorie count there. Totally worth it. Very nice flavor, especially that ricotta cheese kick. And speaking of calories, I think that my whoopedness during exercise was probably the consequence of not having consumed enough calories to get me through the 600 calorie burn. As soon as I started eating I began to feel a lot better. (And I'd only had a little more than 600 calories of fuel to that point of the day, so that makes sense. Hopefully I'm beginning to deplete my fat reserves, too.)

* Found out that even black coffee** has some calories. 2 being some (or some.) So I thought I'd be scrupulous about this.
** Yesterday I had my first "regular" (as in not stuck somewhere and fending for myself and not just out of supplies moment) cup of black coffee. An intentional cup of black coffee. Just thinking about the shit that's in artificial sweeteners and creamers. And just thought I'd try it. And it was pretty okay. Might have something to do with the fact that I'm drinking (wait for it) Trader's Joe's Joe. Don't know if I'll stick with it, but gave it another try this morning and it was still pretty okay. On the other hand, a cup of coffee in the morning is one of my great pleasures since giving up women, so I don't want to fuck that up.
Lunch: coffee 12c, 16 oz water, beef 170c / , bread 120 / 6gF, chips 130c / 3gF, salsa 20c, crisp 110 / 3gF, almonds 57c / 1.3gF, sunflower seeds 200c / 4gF [819c / 17.3gF]

* I had the feeling that I was heading towards the calorie borderline after I finished my soup, so even though I had a very nice potato (slathered in olive oil, dusted with salt, pepper, and garlic powder) reaching perfection in the oven, I sat down and counted everything up. I was relieved to see that I was still well under the daily calorie limit at 1649. Then I looked up the baked potato calories: 161 calories. No so bad, right? Except that when you add those two numbers together, you get 1810, which is 37 calories over my daily limit. And that doesn't include any butter or anything. So . . . potato goes into the refrigerator for consumption tomorrow.
Damn. This watching what you eat shit is no fun at all sometimes.

* Y'know, I really had to stop and think about this butter thing. That's a lot of calories for one tablespoon of the stuff. But (I'm a little embarrassed to admit) I've kind of been thinking about this baked potato (off and on, that is--I'm not THAT bad) since I decided not to eat it last night for dinner, and every time I thought of it, it was decorated with melted butter. So I decided that I would just let myself enjoy it and make caloric adjustments later in the day if need be. But you know . . . even with the butter, 361 calories isn't bad for breakfast. And a potato and an egg are a hell of a lot more filling that Nutty Nuggets cereal or Raisin Bran. Not what I'd do every morning, but a very nice Saturday morning treat, mmm-hmm.

Exercise: Well. In the a.m. there was that 60 minute / 4,508 distance / 706 calories burned session. Then in the early p.m. there was the stretching + 10 push-ups (2 bonus push-ups today, just to see if I could) + 15 LL, 30 bp, 40 sit-ups, 20 bench press, 10 sit-ups, 15 curls, 15 rowing motion + 37 minutes on the bike (4330 distance and -614 calories). If you take into account that I've also burned a couple of hundred calories just getting about here and there (which is what my pedometer tells me), that means I've burnt more calories than I inputed today. Yowza. At my post-exercise naked weigh-in (before any water intake, I'll confess), my scale showed me at 214.8. Mmm-hmm. Which is close to the lowest weight I've registered so far and is only 15 pounds more than Joe weighed at his doctor's visit t'other day--though he was wearing shirt, pants, underwear, and socks, so a few more pounds on my side of the equation there, but STILL. He's no fatty. AND he's three inches shorter than me. AND thirty-seven years younger. I feel like I'm actually getting there. Still got a ways to go, but you know. Getting there. Mmm-hmmm.

* Speaking of salsa, this is a Trader Joe's salsa made with mango, pineapple . . . well, hell, why try to work from memory? Fooducate says it contains Mango, Pineapple, Green Bell Pepper, Red Bell Pepper, Onion, Cane Sugar, Red Jalapeño Peppers (Red Jalapeño Peppers, Salt, Acetic Acid), Cilantro, Lime Juice Concentrate, Sea Salt, Ascorbic Acid. So, in other words, it's vegetable stuff. Pretty much all the way down. So I counted it as fandv weight. Seems fair to me.
** My biggest overage since March: 438 calories over my goal. Which is most definitely not good . . . although I do have to say that I've been burning a lot of extra calories lately, so I don't think that it's THAT big of a deal. Still, I don't want it to repeat. So I'm thinking about why it happened. And the answer is: because (1) I drank a beer--a very rare thing for me--and it made me feel just a little bit more "carefree" than I usually do, (2) because I just didn't keep a close eye on what I was eating after dinner, and (3) because I was thinking, "I want to eat some coconut" (for instance) rather than "Do I have enough calorie room left today to eat some coconut with Cheerios and almond milk? (Which is, by the way, 212 calories, so about half of my overage. Add in the almonds at 175 calories, and you've got pretty much the whole kit and caboodle. And that's the name of that tune. Funny, though, because it wasn't even because I was hungry. It was because I wanted to eat some coconut and almonds.)

Hmm, I see that I've been so caught up in my post-exercise weight numbers that I haven't done an "actual" weight check-in for awhile. i think I was at 220.4 last time in. Well . . . this morning I've already had breakfast, so I think that a weight now is pretty real, and when I stepped on the scale it said I was at 217.2 pounds. Which is out of the obese range, thank you. I'll try to remember to do an "official" Sunday way in tomorrow as well, though. Just to keep it all on the up and up.

Wanted my tendons to take it easy, as they've been showing some sings of strain lately.
And oh, Sunday weigh in?
Yes, I am happy. But still cognizant of the fact that I have a ways to go. In fact, quite a ways to go before I hit my "ideal" weight. Which is . . . well, I'm not sure. I'm getting conflicting information from different web sites. The one I like the best says that my ideal weight is 192.5 pounds. Which would mean that I'm less than 22 pounds away from my final goal, which actually seems do-able given the fact that in 14 weeks I've lost 46 pounds. I guess I've mentioned that before, though. Sorry. But I am pretty happy with all of this. And, to be honest, surprised, too. I had pretty much given up. What would have happened if I hadn't gotten that stomach flu, I wonder?

Stretching + weights 20/15/10 + 8 push-ups + 15 LL + 30 bp + 40 sit-ups + 20 bp + 15 sit-ups + 15 c + 15 r + 37 minutes stationary bike 37 minutes, 3474 distance -516c calories--low today as I took a very slow ride. Wanted my tendons to take it easy, as they've been showing some sings of strain lately.
And oh, Sunday weigh in?
Yes, I am happy. But still cognizant of the fact that I have a ways to go. In fact, quite a ways to go before I hit my "ideal" weight. Which is . . . well, I'm not sure. I'm getting conflicting information from different web sites. The one I like the best says that my ideal weight is 192.5 pounds. Which would mean that I'm less than 22 pounds away from my final goal, which actually seems do-able given the fact that in 14 weeks I've lost 46 pounds. I guess I've mentioned that before, though. Sorry. But I am pretty happy with all of this. And, to be honest, surprised, too. I had pretty much given up. What would have happened if I hadn't gotten that stomach flu, I wonder?
