Another Boot Camp is in the books! I'm rewarding myself by going to the Braves game tonight. I've never been to a Braves home opener before, so I'm jacked up to see the Ted full of life.
When I left you last, I weighed 340.5 pounds on March 25. If you remember, my goal was to get down to 336, or 30 pounds since January and 10 for the camp. Last Friday the odds didn't look too great. After our Friday AM workout, I was only at 339, or about a pound from where I needed to be based on my weight loss trend (2lb/wk) the last three months. How was I going to lose three pounds in a week when I limped in at a pound and a half the week previous?
I'm not sure if I plateaued a little the week before last or perhaps my diet sucked that week. I worked out at home on Monday instead of making it in to camp due to weather, so my intensity level was less for one of my workouts. Regardless, the belt was tightened this week and really paid off. Yesterday morning I was down to 335! Groceries were sparse at home/work, so I wound up eating out for two meals yesterday. I was back at 336 after our post test this morning, or exactly making my target weight.
Achieving my goal feels great, especially when I believed myself to be in danger of failing even just a week ago. My long term goals are to lose 10 pounds a month for the rest of the year. If I can pull that off, hoo-boy I'd be lookin GOOD!
