Tale of the Tape: Week Fourteen

Monday morning weigh-in

Starting Weight: 208 lbs

Last Week’s Weight: 194.7 lbs

Current Weight: 192 lbs

Weekly Difference: -2.7 lbs

Total Lost: 16 lbs

To go along with my training week, I didn’t have a bad weight loss week either.  Just over two and half pounds is pretty good… I’ll take that.  I averaged about 40% Carbohydrates from total calories throughout the week, which isn’t bad.  I really picked up the carbs later in the week and throughout the weekend, in order to prep for my 10 miler on Saturday and the long ride on Sunday.  I had about three days where my protein intake was less than 20%, which is about half of what I’d like to see it at.  I really need to plan a little better this week to make sure I’m getting all the protein I need. I think a nice filet mignon might be in order.

The food log hasn’t been too bad of an ordeal.  I repeat a lot of foods, so it makes it easier to cut and paste on excel.  I haven’t broken out the scale yet and have been pretty much eyeballing my quantities;  I’m sure my micro nutrition counts might be a little off, but I’m close enough to get an idea of my food intake.

The trip to Buffalo Wild Wings (BWWs) was the killer, with over 1300 calories from BWWs alone.  I pretty much negated the entire 10 mile run that morning in just 30 minutes… ouch.  I don’t know if it was worth it, but I haven’t been to BWWs in months and it was pretty damn good stuff. 

 

I do like having the food log because it helps keep me honest.  I hate having to write down bad food, so it helps me not give in if I know I'll have to write it down.  I plan on sticking with the log through the race in May, but hopefully I won't need it after that.  Although... it might help me keep that six pack! <fingers crossed>
