No major weight loss

I keep hoping to find myself in a magical new zone of weight loss. But no, I keep finding the same old two numbers (23) at the front. On the other hand, it has to come soon, one way or another. I used to weigh 170 pounds. I'm just barely shy of 6'3". When I weighed that little I ran ten miles a day every day.

My last big walk was Saturday. It was cold. Yesterday I went on a long drive, and had seven courses of beef, so I don't think that counts for anything good.

Hopefully I will walk tonight.

I've gotten much better about chocolate consumption at home. I need to work more on eliminating chocolate silk pie consumption at El Camino.

Short Bike Ride

I went on a short bike ride today. About ten miles. The first half towards Box Canyon, and the second half towards my house. It was cold out there. Very, very cold. There didn't seem to be an achievable balance between sweaty and freezing. I stopped at MM134. My weight is down. About 231 pounds. I plan/hope to go on a hike in the woods soon.

Walking

I didn't walk nearly as far today as yesterday. But since yesterday rolled across midnight my pedometer shows some of yesterday on today so it looks like I walked more today. I suppose, technically, I did walk more today, just with about 20 hours between parts of it.

The important thing though, is that I ran for about 100m. It made my hamstring hurt, the one I pulled a long time ago.

Last Night's Walk

I measured last night's walk on Google maps. It looks like about 4.2 miles.

I Need To Do This More

I'm not very good at updating this much. My last few posts have been "what has been happening since I last posted" post, and guess what this post will be? I'm lifting weights again. I'm still bad at overhead presses. I can't do 5 sets of 5 overhead presses at 85#. So we are lingering at 85# until I can do all my sets, then we will go up to 90#. I'm expecting to make it tomorrow. On Wednesday I did 3 sets of 5 and 2 sets of 3. I haven't done purposeful walking in quite a while, but I have these past few days. It is with +Eric Beckstead. I can supposedly link his profile there, but it doesn't let me. I don't have much patience for Eric's problems anymore, and so the walking will last only as long as the problems are subsided. My weight had been way down, but it has crept up again. I'm not really sure how high up, and not is a bad time to weight myself since I bought 8 quarts of food at 328 Chinese recently. I'm almost through eating it. Once that is done, normal weight loss can carry on. I want to go backpacking. I just don't want to go alone, it's dangerous, and no one will give me a sword.

Since I was last here...

Since my last time writing, I've done a lot. I've walked a lot. But I lost my pedometer, so I lost track of steps. A GPS told me that I did quite a bit, but I didn't bother to download the track logs since they are a pain to download. The longest day was just about 10 miles West on Highway 60. Well, five one way, five back. The uphill five took 2 hours, the downhill five took an hour and a half. It was a little bit too far to have gone, but I was mostly fine the next day. I bought a new pedometer, and then, the next day, Amazon Vine offered me a free pedometer in exchange for a review. Oh well. My ten miles walk was still a mile short of Box Canyon. Box Canyon is a goal. I need to go back and make it again. I haven't walked there since sometime in the late 1980s. I need to bicycle there again too. It has also been a while since I did that.

Long time no post...

Things went poorly for me at the same time things got better. Through it all, I've done nothing for about five months. I did keep up the weightlifting for a while, but even that collapsed. But for more than half a week now, I've been back to walking.
