The journey from 260 to....

[Da Klugs]

Been difficult since last week. Keep working out but the food consumption got out of hand.

194.7 again (finally) this morning. Going to the indians game tonight in the club level where all the food is free. Skipping lunch today.

Not sure if I am going to make 190. My body seems to like 200 as it constantly goes back there with the slightest addition to consumption.

Been reading up on interval training for the airdyne. My monotonous cardio routine of 50 minutes @ 4 might have been the reason for plateau. Going to try and mix in some much higher difficulty for 30-60 seconds and dropping down to 2.5-3 in 3-4 minute rest periods for the 50 minutes vs just the one pace.

How tall are you? 200 is awesome if your around 6 feet.

I'm thinking that's because there aren't many calories in Tequila or Vodka. Most of the carbs have been converted to alcohol, hence the weight loss.

Looking for a new obsession, been working with an architect to design an addition for the shack.

Good work on the weightloss/lifestyle change. It's not easy. BTW, would that mean it would cease to be "the shack"? Perhaps Shack Estate, Shack Manor, or Shackzilla?

Decided that one last push was in order. Worked out every day for the past 14. Last 6 days 2x a day hour on the airdyne, 150 push ups, 150 crunches, etc in each session.

The end has been passed.



Time for maintenance mode. I think 180 is probably a little to light starting to scare myself. Going to target 185 as a stable weight. Challenge is now how to move from always trying to get lighter to .... staying at a place.

A good problem compared to weighing 260 as I did 6 months ago.

So ... final numbers:

Start: 4/5/2011 - 260 Pounds
End: 9/30/2011 - 178.9 Pounds

Total Weight Loss: 81.1 Pounds
