Day 253
Weigh-in #35 178 lbs., fifty-seven down and three to go!!! Obviously things have settled down since returning form fall break. I dropped the daily kilocalorie count back to 2200 for the week and the adjustment of fluids, a regular schedule, and consistency have payed off. I will move back up to 2300 kcals for Week 36 and I began a lifting routine today as well. Hopefully I can reach the goal weight of 175 lbs. by November 11, the day I present at IAHPERD.
A new photo was taken today and is loaded in the photo section. It's amazing what some basic math, a little discipline, and loving support can do!

Week 35
As you can tell, some time has elapsed since my last post. The diet plan is going well, I've just been busy and a bit distracted with school. We had fall break last week and I travelled to Portland, OR where I did gain four pounds. But, that's understandable given the amount of sugar I had with my granddaughters, which was well worth it! My max test (prior to fall break) went very well as did my yearly medical checkup. I will be detail all the info when I get some extra time. I will be presenting the twinkie2diet at IAHPERD in November and am really excited! Don't worry, I'm still in the game!

Week 32
Weigh-in #31 181 lbs., another three pound loss, 54 so far! It was a busy week and my activity level is high. Running four days a week, 45 minutes per run has been enjoyable. I feel strong and the pace seems to increase with each run. My metabolism is at an all time high for this program. I noticed that I became increasingly hungry during the week and losing three pounds for the second consecutive week concerns me. I have decided to increase my kcal's by one hundred, up to 2300 a day.
With six lbs. left to lose, I want to be sure to take my time and not get impatient. Once 175 lbs. is reached, the maintenance aspect of the diet will kick-in. Determining my daily metabolic needs will be critical. My yearly physical is scheduled for two weeks and all tests will be reported as the results come in. The details of the these results will help me to determine the direction of my future nutrition habits. I'll keep you posted.

Week 31
Day 211
Weigh-in #29 187.5 lbs., one pound weight gain which reflects the typical ups and downs of the three phases of the twinkie2diet. Today represents the end of Phase III and the start of Phase IV. Thirty weeks on the plan have netted a total loss weight of 47.5 lbs. and tremendous changes in my mindset and body shape! I have scheduled my yearly physical for October and will report the details as they become available. All of the preliminary measurements will be re-taken in October, blood profile, oxygen uptake, body fat, etc. and all aspects of the diet will continue until I achieve my goal of 175 pounds. I plan to stay with the 2200 kcal's and the same format during this phase. It's been a great "run" and I am excited to see the changes which should be in evidence!

Week 30
Day 204
Weigh-in #28 186.5 lbs., another two pound loss, 48.5 so far. The first full week of classes began for the fall semester, the diet and exercise program went very well! Phase III is about to end and I'm still at2200 kcals and feeling fine. I will continue with another Phase until I reach my goal of 175 lbs. and then adjust the plan accordingly. My running continues to improve, four days a week, 45 minutes per run. The knees have been improving and I am even going at a faster pace. I have really been motivated and pleased with the results!
Some good news from Indiana Association for Health Physical Education Recreation and Dance, a proposal I submitted in June to present the twinkie2diet plan at the November conference was approved. Dave Wiedericht and I will be involving some of our students at the conference in Indianapolis, it should be fun!

Week 29
Day 199
Weigh-in #27 188.5 lbs., a new low and only fourteen and a half pounds to go! Beautiful weather and running has been excellent, I really am so encouraged. Thanks to everyone for all your support. This plan is so simple in concept, but the reality is, hard work and dedication can only go so far. People supporting people is such a key to success!
The new college year is off to a good start. My Exercise Physiology class will be fun and using this diet as a tool will be a part of it. In October I will be tested again for bloods, oxygen uptake, etc. and I'm looking forward seeing what changes have taken place. I will try to get a new photo posted this week, a new camera has been secured. And yes, I still eat a snack food everyday!
