I weighed in this morning at 169.2. It has been about four years since I weighed this low. I don’t want to get below the 170’s. When I was in high school, I was tall and skinny, and weighed about 150. When I got into college, and got into karate, I started putting on weight. I got up into the 170s. That was cool, the because 170 pounds was often the dividing line between light weight division, and heavy weight division. I liked being in the heavy weight division.
When I started dabbling in bodybuilding, I managed to get my weight up to 190 very briefly, but then my weight started dropping again. I think I was in the 170s for a long time.
When I got married, and moved to Rochester, my weight crept up to 230. But when I started doing karate again, I got it down to 210, and it stayed there for a long time.
About 4 years ago, I made an effort to get my weight down for a karate tournament, and lost almost 30 pounds in two months. I did this by eating low fat/no fat. I was in the low 180s for the tournament. My weight continued to fall until it was in the high 160s. So I started eating a little more fat, and my weight came back up. I was fluctuated a lot. Then when I wasn’t paying attention, it crept back up to about 200.
I started paying more attention, and got it back down into the mid-180’s, and managed to keep it there.
But when I start running, and eating low fat again, my weight started dropping. It has been staying in the mid to low 170’s. But this morning I weighed in at 169.2. I thought I would drop below 170, since I weighed in last night before bed at 171.2.
I need to eat more. Not eat more fat, jut eat more low-fat food. I want to keep my weight up, but drop the body fat.
