re: PuttaDaForkDown

Down 15 pounds in 16 days! Seeing the weight loss starting to slow down, but I knew it would. I'll have to up my game soon and start my running back up.

Yea when you get on that scale and it says 253, you get a sense of urgency to lose weight.

I find it funny, the women at work are always talking about all of these fancy diets they are on. And then I just drop in and I'm like, "Oh yea, hows you're diets going? You've only lost 7 pounds? Yea I'm down 15."

Having a good week, definately back on track with diet and cardio

234/228.2/194 jan 1st start / sept 1 deadline

8 hour diet is working so far. I''m able to move 8 to fit schedule.
Drinking cofee in the morning is holding me from dropping faster.
But my pace is where it needs to be.

Only a few more days the 1/2 marathon. Starting to get bored with the slow runs this week. The only thing making them interesting is its cold and has rained both days I have ran so far. This afternoon looks like more of the same.

Cold rain. I like the effort you are showing getting out in that mess to exercise. :jump1: :jump2:

It's been a good week so far. I'm testing something out, trying 1 serving of sweet potato an hour before working out. It's about 20g carbs.. Today was my first day trying it and I noticed a difference in my performance. I usually lose strength really rapidly after my first set, but today it wasn't so noticeable. I read that eating a slow-burning, low-gi carb such as a sweet potato before the gym helps provide more energy during the workout.. and eating a higher-GI carb, such as a banana, afterwards helps recover faster so you don't feel so sluggish after a workout. I'm currently limiting my carb intake to 80g on a workout day, 50g on a non-workout day.. it seems to be working so far and I don't feel limited in my meal planning.

Welcome!

323/189.1/175 Re-fattening Peak - 206
Contest Starting Weight {office scale} - 200.2
Current Weight {office scale} - 191.6
Current Competition Loss - 8.6
Day 15 of 90
Yesterday's Calorie Count - 1150

Nothing but complaints for the scale today. I had a nice drop yesterday and half that loss came back. I had a feeling I was a bit dehydrated but I don't like a .6 bounce up, especially not on contest weigh-in day.
