30 in 60 - Summary week 1
Summary
Total calories eating = 12,170
exercise time = 13 h 38 mins (that's alot for me, as a result of better weekend weather)
calories burn by exercise = 7,339
miles run/walk = 50.6
lbs lost: 236-229 = 7 lbs (I know a few lbs are water weight lost and I will not keep up this much actual weight lost)
lbs lost by calulation:
weight 230lb x 15 cal/lb x 7 days = -24,150 cal burn just doing regular stuff, the 15 calories/lb may be too high, just a general figure I read somewhere.
+ -7,339 burn
+12,170 calories eating =
-19,319 calorie deficit / 3500 calorie per lb = 5.5 lbs lost
Observations:
Very good first week, feel positive.
Must be carefull to not run too much as to injure by left ankle and right knee menisnus.
My exercise is getting easier at same heartrates.
I need to eat 1 apple at night , not so much peanut M&m's.

observation: woke up this morning feeling good, I could almost feel my heartrate would be less. I've been staying up later (10pm) and sleeping better (5am), I think because I'm not eating as much and so my digestion is not working as much. running today was noticeably faster as same efforts, and this I know from past diets is a good indicator, its working....I'll know better after this weekend runs and what my weight will be Monday morning.

Bodyweight issues - I'm Obese!!
For the past 30+ years I 've had weight issues.
I'm simply too heavy to run well and race up to my abilities. I first gained about 30 lbs in 1990...I blame myself, the stress of life, 2 young kids, first year as an architect, working a lot, financial stresses, all common things for most people. So, I ate alot, alot of comfort food.
From 1981 to 1989 I was 155 to 165 lbs. I ran 8-10 miles a day.
In 1990, I was reduced to many days of no running....a standard diet was cearal in the morning, then pizza at work, then a big meal at night. My weight was up to 195-200.
For the next 13 years, it stayed about that and my running was consistent about 50 miles a week. Ocassionally, I would lose down to 187-190 in the summer, but quickly go back up to 200 and sometimes higher until I reached 214 in March 2003. I had to do something.
I was able to get in a UI diet study for men. It was a 8 week study and I was in a group that ate 19 servings of food for 1700 calories. I lost 33 lbs down to 182. It was the easier diet I ever did. My waist when from 40" to 34". My chorestrol when from 246 to 165.
Gradually, I gained it back by returning to my huge eating habits. Then, in 2005, I hurt my knee and I had to stop running for awhile, almost 1 1/2 years+. By 2006, I weighted in the 230's and when on a juice fast diet, where I lost 47lbs in 30 days. It was an interesting experience and learned alot about my body. But, again, I slowly returned to my old habits and by weight returned to the 230's, getting as high as 250.....you get the picture, I have an issue.
So that leads me to now, at 236 lbs, my feet and knees are better than ever, but my health is effected by being this heavy. I want to lose weight, I know how to do it, but it will take a honest full committment that means a lifestyle change forever. Here is what I know I need to do:
1. eat 1700 calories a day of good balanced moderate diet w/ less fat and sugar.
2. no fast food, zero, none...I am addicted to fast food and like an alcholic, I can not eat just one slice of pizza, or one scoop of ice cream or one hamburger, etc, etc.
3. it will take about 2-3 weeks to transition to feeling strong again, so I must endure a weaker time.
4. weight myself every morning.
5. record everything, including pulse while training.
6. burn 800 calories a day on average thru exercise (this has never been a problem)
So this has lead me to 30 in 60 (30lbs in 60 days).....Day 1 was today.

New Boston Marathon qualification standards
go to ....letsrun.com.... for full details but the boston marathon are giving the fastest runners an early chance to enter, also the standards are getting tougher....for someone who trained and raced to try for BM qualifier in the late 1970's this new standard is great, it returns the race for what it should be a "regular" runners olympics and gives the fastest runners an edge over slower runners in getting in. I never made the qualifer, only ran 3:07 as a 21 year old. My brother made it as a masters running 3:09 at age 40.
