It's been 1 day shy of my No Bread Challenge. Time for the weigh in / tape measure. Total weight lost = 0 lbs. Total inches lost on waist = 1/2 inch. As I reflect a few things come into mind. I've cheated a little but not as much as I thought I would. It has been much easier during the week to stay on target. Weekends are rough (evidenced by my breakfast of pancakes with my daughter Alexandra). I need to really work on portion sizes and dump the soda completely to lose some weight. Had to buy a handful of new shirts this weekend for casual wear given my others are not fitting well (huge in body but tight in chest). Need to buy some new pants also or at least a different belt that I can cinch down tighter. Need to buy some new clothes in another month. Oh well, money I will h ave no problem spending.
Regardless, I am seeing progress and will keep at it. I am smart enough to know it is not going to happen overnight. Workouts have been better and I am seeing a lot of imiprovement there. Not stopping on the 800m warmup run nor the 800m 45# plate carry are good indicators. True burpees as opposed to burpees on knees and the need to move down from the black band on pullups.
I am finding my blogging about this and my record keeping on workouts helps a lot. I am looking forward to the June Zone / Paleo challenge. The fuelbook I ordered from www.wodbook.com will help also.
Pat - This is fantastic progress. Screw worrying about the weight. You are losing fat and putting on muscle. The waist size doesnt lie. Awesome!
