Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

I’m 187 lbs. right now.  It’s not hugely overweight, but it’s heavier than I’ve been in two years, and it’s not a good amount to weigh if I want to be able to run up and down the field playing Ultimate, which I plan to do again this summer.

So I’m working to slim down to 169 or so.  That’s about 18 lbs. difference.  I’d like to lose that in about 2-3 months, which means I’ve got to lose about 1.5 lbs. a week.

I figure if I eat right, stop drinking, and exercise more than I have been (i.e. more than just two flights of stairs a day (one up, one down)) then I’ll have no problem. So if I turn down a second helping of your delicious dinner, or I drink a Diet Coke instead of a beer this Spring, that’s why.

Oh, and I don’t regret for a minute getting bigger.  So much delicious BBQ!

I've definitely started drinking more healthily. I switched from beer to tonic (and gin).

Ya, the getting up there is the easy part. Good-luck on the reduction. I need to work on it myself. I've been enjoying beer and a roomy that likes to cook.
