It is amazing to think it has been 20+ months since my last post. Wow. My life has been crazy in the meantime. Since I last reported, I have been re-employed at the wood stove store, quit again, become a bookkeeper for a CPA, worked at the wood stove store some more, quit again, and am currently working as a bookkeeper for the aforementioned CPA. My older daughter has turned 5, my younger daughter is almost 3-1/2 and we have a new daughter, who is now 9-1/2 months old.
Needless to say, weight hasn't been on the forefront of my mind. Until recently, that is. As of June 1st, my family is now car free. I walk and bus everywhere. I had been hovering around 295-298 pounds since my last post, but, as of 6/1, I set 8 goals for myself:
285 lbs - 33% BF
275 lbs - 30% BF
265 lbs - 27% BF
255 lbs - 24% BF
245 lbs - 21% BF
235 lbs - 18% BF
225 lbs - 15% BF
8-12% BF maintained
The most important numbers are body fat percentage, as my goal is to keep and maintain 8-12% body fat. The total weight goals will be changed if my muscle mass changes significantly.
Today, I weighed 285 pounds with a BF of 32.9%, so I've reached goal one.
My goals will become more difficult to attain as I get closer to the end, but I also anticipate having more energy and physical ability by the time I get there. I'm looking for at least .5% per week, so here are the date goals:
275 / 30% - 10/15/12
265 / 27% - 12/1/12
255 / 24% - 1/15/13
245 / 21% - 3/1/13
235 / 18% - 4/15/13
225 / 15% - 6/1/13
8% to 12% - 7/15/13
Lets do this.
