I haven't posted in two weeks (life just gets kinda crazy) but suffice it to say, there hasn't been a lot of movement. Sunday weigh-in today......257.
Two weeks, two pounds. I stayed the same last week, went down to 257 this week.
Look, two pounds is two pounds, but from April 1 through May 1, I went from 262 to 257. That's five pounds. That's not horrid, but that's not what I am looking for.
I know it's a marathon. I know it isn't about losing weight in one day, or even one month. But, after averaging 10 pounds the first two months, to go down to five pounds in April is disappointing.
Two things I need to do to get back on track. The first is, I am cleaning up a few things I have let go here the last few weeks. I have eaten a little more than I did, so time to get back to where I was before, on a strict calorie counter. Second, I am adding some more exercise. I am going to hit the gym four-five times a week, instead of three and then two at home. Need to hit the gym with more regularity. Right now, I am planning on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. Of course, schedules can change. Thursdays might not be possible if work gets in the way, but I am going to try and stick to that schedule.
Finally, I am also changing up my routine working out. Instead of 20+ minutes of cardio, followed by weight training, followed by 10+ minutes of cardio, I am switching it: 10+ minutes of cardio, weight training, and 20+ minutes of cardio. Also, instead of focusing on two muscle groups, I am doing full-body exercises.
I'll have to see what that does, but by June 1 I have set the following goal: 248. I believe I can make it. That's 9 pounds. If I recommit, if I just believe, I'll be able to make it.
