Getting Mathy
Posted February 27th, 2009 by Jeff J. SniderStarting now, I am going to mathematicize stuff a little bit more in my weekly weigh-ins. I don’t know if it will help anything, but it will appease my inner need just a little bit. I shall call it Blubbermetrics.
Here are some numbers as of last week’s weigh-in:
- Weight: 347.8 pounds
- Weight Loss Since Last Weigh-In: 0.4 pounds
- Total Weight Loss To Date: 54 pounds
- Left to Lose Overall: 107.8 pounds
- Percentage of Goal Lost: 33.4%
- Left to Lose for Next Mini-Goal (under 340): 7.9 pounds
- Average Weekly Loss I Need to Meet My Overall Goal Before My Daughter’s Fifth Birthday: 2.99 pounds
- Average Weekly Loss So Far: 1.74 pounds
I’m open to suggestions for other mathematical crap I should keep track of, and I welcome your calculations as well.
By the way, I just wanted to tell my friend Lindsay (who sometimes comments here as “Not Your Daughter Lindsay”) I’m proud of her. She started preparing for a half-marathon about a month or two ago, and she’s been working really hard at it. Go encourage her at her running blog. (Beth and I ran into Lindsay and her husband the other night. We’ve kept in touch, but we hadn’t seen each other in over two years. Knowing that we are both working hard on being more fit, I thought it was really funny that we happened to run into each other at … Cold Stone. But seriously, that’s the first time we’ve been out for ice cream in many months.)
