Friday Weigh In

Well my 4 days in Las Vegas and the subsequent 2 days of getting re-settled have done some damage to my previous successes.

Today's Weight: 230.8
Body Fat: 20.0%
BMI: 32.6

Overall still encouraged as I am still ahead of my 1 pound per week overall goal. However, I can clearly see how large of a part nutrition is going to play in the success or failure of this plan. (That means no more beer, pizza, and wings the night before a weigh in) and a workout no matter how good can overcome 6 days of the previous lifestyle.

Looks like a salad for lunch and a good workout today to get me on the right track for the weekend.

Thanks and enjoy the ride.

Back at It

After 4 days in Las Vegas to celebrate my birthday it is back at it. 

While in Vegas I had three goals: gamble until I could not stay awake any longer, eat whatever, and drink the beers as they were delivered.

Two words: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Now to see how this will affect my Friday weigh in.

Thanks and enjoy the ride.

2nd Friday Weigh In

Today marks the second Friday weigh in of the year and I dropped a few additional pounds. Usually if you are on a downward slide it is a bad thing, of course this is weight loss so it is actually a plus.

Even though there is a long way to go and much area for stumbling one thing has become clear. 

Consistent exercise + smart food choices - the occasional cheat meal (beverage) = results.

My workouts this week:

1/7: Total Conditioning at LifeTime Fitness
1/9: CX Ride in the rain
1/10: Total Conditioning at LifeTime Fitness

And later today since the weather is going to be amazing and 70 degrees here in Austin a nice recovery bike ride.

Cheats this week have included a burger and a couple beers.  The real challenge will be not giving up all my hard earned gains in Sin City this weekend.

Wish me luck.

Thanks and enjoy the ride.
