Fitness Update: -23 lbs in 165 days (5.5 mo)

I totally forgot to update last week, but I am still here and have great news! I finally reached my goal and weighed 129 lbs this morning.

Full Stats:

• Heaviest Weight: 164 (12/5/06)
• Starting Weight: 152 (1/29/08)
• Current Weight: 129
• Total Loss: -23 in 165 days (5.5 mo)
• Total % Loss: 15.13% of body weight
• BMI: 23.6
  
• Current Goal: 130 -- EXCEEDED!!
• New Goal: 125 
• Lbs to go: 4

I think I stayed between 131-133 for about a month. Let's hope it sticks this time and reaching 125 won't take as long.

I had a (benign) cyst removed from my shoulder blade yesterday, so I won't be able to run or bike until the sutures come out in 2 weeks. This means the blog may be a bit quiet till then and I need to be extra diligent about my eating so I don't gain weight while I am less active. I hope to at least do some walking. Once I can run again, I am official starting to train for Disney's Race for the Taste 10k in October.

In the healthy eating department, I've managed to meet these weekly goals for a few weeks now and I think they are becoming a habit:

• Fruit Servings: 14 (2/day)
• Veggies Servings: 21 (3/day)
• Home Cooked Meals: 80% of main 3 meals/day (17/21)
• Meatless/Seafood Meals: 75% of main 3 meals/day (16/21)
• Water: 450 oz (~64/day)
