Fit After 65: The Road To 230

It’s August, and that means I have five months to reach my goal of weighing 240 pounds by the end of the year. I didn’t do my regular Sunday weigh-in last week because I was away on my final summer getaway—a weekend at a lake cabin with some of my college friends. It was exactly what I needed. The […]

I’m hopeful that I’m getting back on track. This morning’s weigh-in came in at 270.7 pounds, down from 273.8 pounds last week. While I’m still not where I want to be, seeing the scale move in the right direction is encouraging. It’s a reminder that a few focused days of making better choices can make a real difference.

Well…this wasn’t the weigh-in I was expecting. Last Sunday, July 5, I weighed 268.5 pounds. This past week I spent a couple of days out in the Badlands of North Dakota. Knowing how much walking and hiking I would be doing, I figured I would at least maintain my weight, if not lose a little.

While the weight isn’t coming off as fast as I might like, it is moving in the right direction, and that’s what matters most. On Wednesday, July 1, I weighed in at 269.8 pounds. Getting back on track with my regular Sunday weigh-ins, I stepped on the scale this morning, Sunday, July 5, and I

I had a great week over in Chaska, Minnesota, volunteering at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship! It was an incredible experience working inside the ropes and getting to watch some of the best women’s golfers in the world up close.

It’s funny how some weeks you go into weigh-in convinced the scale is going to be up, only to find out it isn’t. That was the case for me this week. When I stepped on the scale this morning, I weighed 270.1 pounds. That puts me right back where I was two weeks ago and

This morning’s weigh-in was a reminder that I need to stay focused on my diet. The scale read 270.5 pounds, a slight increase from last week. While the gain isn’t significant, it’s moving in the wrong direction. If I had been hitting my target pace, I would be around 267 pounds right now. The reality is simple: I’ve

I stepped on the scale this Sunday morning and weighed 270.1 pounds. That is down from last week’s starting weight of 270.9 pounds, a loss of 0.8 pounds. While I didn’t reach my goal of losing 1.5 pounds this week, I am still happy to see the scale moving in the right direction. Weight loss

Stepping on the scale on Wednesday, May 27, just a few days after returning home from Cancun, I weighed 274.9 pounds. Considering five days at an all-inclusive resort, travel, restaurant meals, and the inevitable water retention that comes with flying, the number wasn’t much of a surprise. This Sunday morning, May 31, the scale read
