2010 Challenge Update – February Wrap-up

Monday, March 1st, 2010

February 2010, at least for me, went by very quickly. Arguably it has a few less days than all the other months, but I’m still talking fast. The winter Olympics came and went, LOST season six started and has progressed nicely, and I have lost a lot more weight and finished a book. Wrap-up time!

Challenge #2: Lose weight on the South Beach Diet.
Current weight: 196.2
Current BMI: 27.47 (I think, may need adjusting)
Weight loss from start: -37.5 lbs.
Progress: While not quite reaching the sheer success that was January, February over all has been another fantastic month for my weight loss challenge. If you recall from my last monthly wrap-up post, I finished off the month at 208.6 lbs, a loss of 25.1 lbs from the start. As of yesterday, February 28th, I was at 196.2 lbs, a loss of 37.5 lbs from the start and 12.4 lbs total loss for the month. It’s just under half of what I lost in January alone, but is still a phenomenal amount as far as I’m concerned.

2010 Challenge Update – January Wrap-up

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

January 2010 has come to a close, so here is a recap of my 2010 challenges progress so far.

Challenge #1: Watch all of LOST seasons 1-5 before the final season premieres on February 2nd, 2010.
Progress: Complete!

As you might have seen in my last post, I finished this challenge right on time. Watching all of LOST again was an amazing experience. It was so great to catch all the little ins and outs the writers stuck in there from the beginning and see where it has all led up to.

2010 Challenge Update – January 30, 2010 – Completely LOST!

Monday, February 1st, 2010

The final season of LOST premieres tomorrow, so it helps that I am now completely LOST!

Challenge #1: Watch all of LOST seasons 1-5 before the final season premieres on February 2nd, 2010.

Progress: COMPLETE!

I mentioned in my last post that I had made significant progress; clearly very significant. I am all done. The truth is I finished most of season 4 and 5 last weekend and the 2 hour finale episode of season 5 this past Saturday morning. What a pair of seasons they were!

2010 Challenge Update – January 27, 2010 – Weight LOST (lol)

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Please excuse my small pun in the title, I couldn’t help myself. I have made some major progress on LOST since last update, but I am going to save that for another post so I can really dedicate some thoughts to it in the way it deserves, and likewise for what you will read below. UPDATE TIME!

Challenge #2: Lose weight on the South Beach Diet.
Current weight:
211.0
Current BMI:
29.54
Weight loss from start: -22.7 lbs.
Progress: This has been one of the better weeks of the diet so far. I am feeling good, I can clearly see a difference in my body both inside and out and I am well on my way towards my initial goal. You’ll notice I’ve added “Current BMI” to my numbers above. I talked about how important it was last time, so why not toss that up there too since I’m tracking it.

2010 Challenge Update – January 22, 2010

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Here it comes! The newest update of Pete’s 2010 Challenges!

Challenge #1: Watch all of LOST seasons 1-5 before the final season premieres on February 2nd, 2010.
Progress: Third season down, and started the fourth but this challenge end date is really sneaking up on me! It is now just over 11 days until LOST airs the first episode of its final 6th season, and I have just finished the first episode of the 4th season. That means I have 30 episodes to watch in 11 days! Yikes! But don’t worry, the weekend is upon us and I will hopefully knock out a large majority of it now.

To follow up on my previous “season wrap-ups”, the third season was the last of the long seasons. It stretched 23 episodes and brought in a whole new slew of questions. All out war with the others and the history of the mysterious Dharma Initiative revealed makes for a season of thickening plot. A lot of people complained about the third season. Mostly people say that the show was on some unsteady ground and was trying to find its way. Seems to be a trend with LOST. But even to me, many parts of this season just felt like filler.
