Weight Watch

Edited and updated repost:

Why do I keep tabs on my weight? Dunno. Maybe it's to remind me where I came from and remind me of where I'm going. I really can't afford to gain much weight. The family has a history of high blood pressure and heart ailments. Besides, I can't breathe and move if I gain a lot of weight.

Based on height / weight charts, at 5'6" - 5'6 1/2" my ideal weight would be 160 lbs. Heck, I haven't been 160lbs since college!

In late 2003 and early 2004 I was about 210lbs. Couldn't move without panting. By late 2004 I hit 171lbs because of overly-religious gym time while I was with Questor. That's 39lbs shed off! But that 171lbs is a "chilly" and "hungry" weight for me. Yup, I felt cold because of the fat loss. I think 176 to 180lbs is my mobile / normal operating weight for good ole big-boned gorilla me.

Update. I didn't check my weight the whole 2008 and early 2009. I'm assuming I hit 195lbs at some point. I thought I would be in that range right now.

Iya said I was a bit thinner when we met a few days ago. Curious, I weighed myself Iater that day at the San Beda clinic after fetching my mom. It's the same weighing scale I've been using since I was in Prep and Grade 1 (talk about old weighing scales). About 2 days later (yesterday) I found myself talking to Bianca about my weight. I told her that to my surprise, I weighed only 172lbs. I was expecting a value between 185 to 195lbs. No wonder I've been feeling cold lately.

Today I dug up my old weight watch static blog post over at gokitomo.com. I'm thinking of continuing it here. :D

Hmmm. Based on the table it seems the later years (2004) of Questor (anime mag) were good to me. The stint at the OFW and real estate publications (2005-2007) was a downward spiral (again). And... UP stint part 2 (late 2007 to present) is turning out to be good... Weight-wise.

Now what do I do?
