Weight Loss update

So....

The journey to lose weight has been for years. I'm talking years.....

  • +10 lbs = I was around 185 after getting married. I ran a lot in Austin and once the wedding was over that was the end of that.
  • + 5 lbs = So I'm sitting at 195 for a good amount of time. Ally gets born and my sleep and work got nuts.
  • +5 lbs = Now I'm 200lbs and in a whole new weight class. I'm buying bigger jeans and filling out.
  • +15 lbs = At the start of me going to baker hughes and with nate being born, it took a total of 3 years to stack on this weight. Main reason? I think I just never moved much. Vanpool then just started to eat a lot of buffets. got to the point where I wasn't full until I was stuffed. ---- Drum roll---- I hit 215 lbs at work with my boots.
HOT DANG

So for a good 18 months Franklin and I were betting who could drop below 200. I got close in 4 months to 205 but gave up and he also gave up when he turned 30 yrs old. He was 201 and then ballooned up to 240ish. I find that funny.

So I got the wii fit from some cool friends (nguyen gang) and that knocked off a good couple pounds. When I started the gym I was 210 on their scale with excersise clothes but this was after working out 2-3 times for 2 weeks. I think right when I started the gym I was 212ish. 212 + boots I'm around 214 at work.

so the journey began to lose weight at 214 (with work gear on). This officially started Aug 11.

Aug 11th 214 (work weight)
Feb 26th 194 (work weight)
20 lbs in 6 months

I haven't been to the gym in about 1 month.

I wonder if I can get down to 180 in another 6 months. At most I go to the gym 1 time a week now. The majority of the loss these days comes from walking 2 miles at work and eating better. I try not to eat as much mayo and hold the cheese for the most part.

The last time I was 185 was junior year in high school
