Weekend Roundup - Weigh in edition!

Filed Under Weekend Roundup, Weight Loss 

I decided to add a little feature to my weekend roundup, and that’s my current weight. When I first started changing my life around, I weighed 280lbs. My goal weight is 190lbs. That’s about right for someone who is 5′11″ and works out relatively frequently. I was 220 at the beginning of this year. Today, when I weighed in, I was 217.6lbs.

Normally, I wouldn’t be concerned about my weight. That’s something I learned a few months into my new life. Weight doesn’t really matter, it’s just one indicator of your overall health. However, I know that I’ve slipped a bit over the past few months. I’ve missed some workouts due to a busy work schedule and I’ve gone back a bit to binging on candy and caffeine. Nothing too serious, but enough set me back. This is a bit frustrating since I really want to lose a bit more weight and see if it makes a bigger impact on my snoring.

So I’m going to start posting my weekly weight on Sundays, just as a reminder myself that there are things in life more important than candy and diet coke :)

And with that, here are this week’s links:

Article - From the Diet blog, we have an article about how thin doesn’t quite equal being healthy. This is why I don’t pay a lot of attention to my weight and something you shoud keep this in mind next time you step on the scale. Health and weight are related, but it’s not as direct of a relationship as you might think.

Article - From FitnessFixation, a note about BMI. BMI is another weight related measure that a lot of people put too much faith in. Similar in theme to the first article. Basically, pay more attention to your health than you do to your weight. Plus a hobo name generator!

Article - And finally, from That’s Fit, a little device that can help you workout while you work. If you’re too busy to go to the gym, but spend a lot of time in front of a desk, this might be good for you.
