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.
“Sir,” replied the commander, “I am nothing to you but Captain Nemo; and you and your companions are nothing to me but the passengers of the Nautilus.”
Challenge #4: Read more!
Books Read: 1 of 6 to complete challenge.
Progress: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is done. Can you believe it!? I hardly can. I sat myself down last night, and for several hours powered through the last throes of this seemingly rather large book.
It’s a hard thing determining the length of a book on the Kindle. In all actuality, “20KLUTS” as I shall hereafter refer to it, sure seemed like a lengthy one. Truthfully the book may be shorter than it seemed to me, but it was an odd kind of book. Let me explain.
With the LOST challenge over and most of the others progress trackable in larger periods of time, its no wonder why I haven’t posted a 2010 Challange update since the 4th. Since I started my diet on Friday, January 1st, it makes sense at this point to post these updates really only on a Friday to Friday, weekly basis. The numbers have slowed down enough that it makes more sense than posting every few days with a “Holy crap, -0.2!”. The exception will be if I hit any major milestones or goals, or have something else to talk about. That out of the way, lets dive in…
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.
