Accountability through public posting

 


Well, Noom tells me I'm now on day 33 of my journey here trying to be more like Steve Rogers and less like Fred Dukes ('lil Marvel insider joke for you).  

Here's how you know I was doing all the wrong things:  it's been less than 40 days and I'm down about 27 pounds.  Now, keep in mind, I'm *huge* even when I'm thinner.  I'm 6'5" and barrel chested.  I am a scaled up human.  So when I do the absolute bare minimum of, like, eating not-crap, I lose weight.  I'm not at all surprised.  This is my third go-round at the weight loss thing.

So far, I'm maintaining my walking schedule - 6 days per week, at two miles per walk - or more.  I'm doing the elliptical 3-4 days per week of 34 minutes (it usually works out to 3.4 miles per session).  I mix up which routine I'm doing - flat, hills, random, etc...
