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 – February 12, 2010 – SNOW down, SLOW down.

Friday, February 12th, 2010

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…

Best of the Commercial Bowl 2010!

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I am not a big football fan. The only time I ever watch a game is usually the Superbowl, and even then I tend to pay much more attention to the commercials than the actual game. (Though I am happy for the Saints, go you!)

This year was no different. I spent most of the night watching Law & Order reruns and playing Mass Effect 2. Occasionally we’d tune in to see what was going on and had the impeccable timing of flipping back right before the halftime show featuring, The Who.

Funny thing about The Who… I hate that song, “Who Are You?”.  And for some reason it’s the only song I’ve ever associated with, The Who. Come to find out they have a ton of other epic music. Songs that I love, that I had no idea they sung. Turns out I like The Who. Go fig.

I digress, on to the commercials…

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. If you’d like to read more of my thoughts on lost, check out that post here, or click on the LOST category on the right side bar.

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!
