WGOM Fitness: October 1, 2012, September in Review

2 Comments

Generally, this was a very good month. I'm currently on day 6 of a trip to the Fatherland, and that stupid scale has kind of pissed me off, but even reading the scale at face value, I lost 12.7 pounds for the month. I pretty much stuck to the diet without fail and I worked out pretty religiously when I was at home. I've started working out here in ND, with three workouts on this trip, including 30 pretty good minutes on the Air Dyne last night. I worked a lot harder than I do at the gym. Afterwards, I felt pretty good.

I have weighed 251.5 on every day of this trip, except for one reading of 251.0. I don't really believe that, but that's what the scale says. I'll be glad to get home and see what my home scale says, but that reading won't come for three more days.

Day 69
Weight: 251.5
Total Loss: 33.0
Last 10 days: 0.5

  1. from a CDC press release back in May, touting a then-new study on the links between education, income levels, and health:

    In 2010, 31 percent of adults 25-64 years of age with a high school diploma or less education were current smokers, compared with 24 percent of adults with some college and 9 percent of adults with a bachelor’s degree or higher. Overall, in the same year, 19 percent of U.S. adults age 18 and over were current cigarette smokers, a decline from 21 percent in 2009.

    Between 1996-2006, the gap in life expectancy at age 25 between those with less than a high school education and those with a bachelor’s degree or higher increased by 1.9 years for men and 2.8 years for women. On average in 2006, 25-year-old men without a high school diploma had a life expectancy 9.3 years less than those with a Bachelor’s degree or higher. Women without a high school diploma had a life expectancy 8.6 years less than those with a bachelor’s degree or higher.
