It was almost four years ago that I decided to try to get my weight down to 180lbs, which I dubbed my Marathon Weight. And for over two years, I was doing very well in that endeavour. Using Intermittent Fasting as my dieting tool of choice. I was encouraged by my previous success of getting…
July weight loss went in the right direction. But not very far. My average weight was 203.9lbs for July. Down from the previous month, but only by 0.2lbs. Highest weight was 207.6lbs and lowest was 200.6lbs. The month was off to a good start because I was cutting out TV during the week. It’s a…
I decided to skip the April 2023 and May 2023 Mile Markers because they canceled each other out. My weight loss for April was 0.4lbs. And then I gained it back by the end of May. So, a net gain of zero from where I was at the end of March. For both of those…
March was a better month than February. The weight pendulum has started swinging the other way. And I think it was just reminding myself not to snack after 9pm that had the biggest impact this month. Let’s be clear: It didn’t always stop me from snacking. But I managed to reduce the snacking. My average…
Surprise, surprise. This was not a good month for approaching my Marathon Weight. I’ve fallen into the trap of making plans but not following through with them. I know what to do but I don’t do it. My average weight for February was 209.9lbs. Up two pounds from January! My lowest weight for the month…
Well, January went as expected. In the wrong direction. But the holiday season caught up with me, so it makes sense. My average weight was 207.8lbs (up 3.4lbs from December). My heaviest was 212.4lbs – the heaviest I’ve weighed in three years. And my lightest was 204.6lbs. The Intermittent Fasting Do-si-do continues. And even though…
Happy New Year! I made sure that 2022 went out with a bang. Eating and drinking as one can only do during the festive season. And now it’s time to pay the piper. The accounts are due… As expected, my weight went up in December. My average weight was 204.4lbs. With a high of 208.8lbs…
At the end of July, I decided to ease off on my quest for my Marathon Weight and enjoy the summer. That enjoyment spread to the fall, too. So, consider this Mile Marker covering August, September, and October, also. I still fasted occasionally but I was going to town on the food side. And I…
July was when I was getting frustrated with this goal. We went to my cousin’s cottage and I was feeling the length of the pandemic take it’s toll. I wanted to let loose. I’ve been monitoring everything since the pandemic began and I didn’t want to do that any more. Or at least for the…
The backwards slide continues. I set up a fasting schedule at the beginning of the month, but didn’t end up following it. My average weight for June was 192.8lbs. Up 1.1lbs from May. My highest weight was 196.4 and my lowest was 186.2. I tracked my weekly average weight this month. This is the weekly…
