I did treadmill yesterday with 6.0 as a speed and did my 1-mile run. It was for 10 mins and 10 secs burning 160 cals. I didn’t quite beat my record but I used a slightly different speed on that one. Anyway, I had my total workout running 3.5 miles, 50 mins, burning 540 cals. I weighed myself today and it’s 148! We decided to make the weigh in today instead of July 3rd because that’s a Sunday and everybody won’t be present that day. I didn’t want to prolong it again after July 4th because, I really want to eat on that day! lol

Unfortunately, the lady who holds the weighing scale today was not at work. All of them actually lost already except for Jason. Jason told me that I already won, coz he only lost like 8lbs., but that was last week. I know he was was working out pretty hard this week but I told him even if he lost 25 lbs, he’d still lose. I weighed in as 171.6, and now I am 148, according to the percentage weight loss calculator, I’ve lost 13.75% of my weight. Jason weighed in as 204lbs, so he needs to be 175lbs, a loss of 29lbs, to beat me. So there you go…But tonight we’ll have poker, he’s coming over and he’s just wondering how much weight he lost. So I guess I can say that I am officially the Biggest Loser!

So I’ve reached my goal of 148lbs. Now what? lol
I still feel a lil chubby on my tummy… I’ve been running for the past 3 weeks I have been abandoning my abs exercises…It is now time to focus on my abs.. I will also be lifting weights more, build more muscles…maybe I will alternate my workout…one day run, one day weights, one day abs…hmmm, sounds like a plan!

I should have done this earlier before I started using my treadmill. I want to record my progress so that I can set up a goal. Setting up a goal is very important for me to keep me motivated. I’d like to keep track of my performance to achieve my goal and to keep me focused. It’s tempting to sometimes just slack off like I’ve done in the past but doing this will remind me that I have a goal that I need to accomplish.

Now my goal is 148lbs. or less would be better! =)
I have until July 3rd to achieve this goal.
The last time i have used the treadmill I had a record of:
1 mile = 9 mins 45 secs = 150 cals
(total workout: 35 mins, 3 miles, 375 cals)
A month before I remember I did 12 mins in a mile (although I can’t remember how much calories I burnt.)

You might be asking now why number 148? It’s because all weighing scale is different. The scale in my house says I am 156 but when we took Aiden to the doctor monday, I weighed myself and it says 158. So I’d like to lose at least 2olbs for this Biggest Loser Challenge.
Hope I can do it!

Well, good news and bad news. The good news is, I am 1 or 2 lbs shy of my goal, which is 155lbs. I’ve been weighing myself this week and 156 and 157 are the two numbers that show up on the scale. Still proud that I still am soda-less and rice-less for about 3 months now. The bad news, the other guys on the competition decided to extend the contest for another month. Since none of them weren’t really doing anything, they are like, “let’s add another month”. I was really furious when one of them told me about the extension and I’d feel like I’d be a party pooper if I complained. So I just look at it this way, I’ve lost at least 12-13lbs and they’re all just starting. One month is not going to do anything really so I just let it be. Although they have more weight to lose since I’m the lightest of the bunch, there should be no way that they’d lose 10lbs in a month because it’s hard. It’s possible but they’d really be not doing anything else but exercise 5 days a week. Shoot I exercise every other day and I’ve only lost that much and that’s with eating healthy. Having said that, my new goal is now 150. Hope I can do it…

Everybody knows the show right? Well, the lab where I work is holding their version of The Biggest Loser. We weigh in on June 3rd and the more weight you lose in the span of about 3 months, you win the money pot. I am against 5 more guys (because the girls have their own thing) and we pay 50 bucks each. I’m not really in it for the money, I just want to lose some weight. I’ve been trying to lose some weight for some time now but I just don’t have the determination to do it. If I win, that’s great but if I don’t, and lost weight, then I would be a winner myself. To help me with the process, my wife bought me a treadmill, well she bought that for me before the competition anyway. I’ve been trying to use the treadmill for about a week now, and I’ve also been cutting on eating rice. You all know we Filipinos eat rice at least 2x a day! lol And I’ve been cutting down on soda. So I haven’t eaten rice and drank a soda for two weeks now. I also been doing some sit-ups, recommended by a martial artist, Mr Jim. =)
Hopefully I’d get to maintain my diet, or better yet, improve it. I’d like my 171lbs to go down to at least 155. Now that I don’t have much time for tennis, hopefully I’d keep this up. Wish me luck!
