<p>Race Season is Done</p>
<p>For most of us who need help</p>
<p>For Next Year, START NOW!</p>

<p>Ok, I am about to begin my training for the Rev3 Full in 2012 at Cedar Point.  I want to get faster on the bike and I know that the easiest way to do that is to lose weight.  Also, I'm feeling heavy and lethargic.  For me, I will probably post some measurements, too, but I am starting a slow built through October, and will really pick it up as I head to November.  I may fall off the wagon a little as I have to help my folks move, but for the short term, I will be eating better/less and starting to get back to the pool 2x per week, run at least 2x per week, and bike at least 2x per week.  I do have the Jewish Holidays' this week, but let's see how it goes!</p>

<p>Now that I started tracking, I of course lost weight immediately.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Friday 230</p>
<p>Sat 231</p>
<p>229 for me.</p>
<p>making some headway</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I've officially declared war on my weight. 49,000 calories are going be burnt into the abyss. that will bring me to 215.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, need to figure out the best way to do it, but at 500cal/day this goal will be mine in 98 days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So there. It's a goal.</p>
<p>Hmmm i'm game on the 12/31 challenge. I need to think about what I want and don't want. I also not gonna step on my scale for a day or two. Been camping. Body must adjust...</p>
<p>My scale sucks and said 233 yesterday. I think it's lying.</p>
<p>I'm having a monthly situation. It's been a month and i've made squat for progress. Ok, maybe it just seems like it</p>
<p> </p>
<p>232</p>
<p> </p>
<p><br><br>
I made it as long as it took me to read this. OMG.</p>

<p>I've been avoiding the scale. However, got on today and... 232. Well, no movement in the + is good. No movement in the - pisses me off, but I don't deserve any reward there as I've only been moderately successful and my workouts have been down. So... I'll take it.</p>
<p>Dw had thyroid cancer so we have been through all this with synthoid, etc. cak nailed it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me barely holding on to 232-233</p>
<p>post turkey day I've shot to 236. out of freakin control. Starting with renewed interest and vigor this week... will probably drop a couple instantly now that i'm back home.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>233</p>
<p> </p>
<p>half my fat azz fell off the wagon yesterday but thankfully the wife caught the other half and served me soup for dinner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>232</p>
<p>stress high</p>
<p>workouts low</p>
<p>Eating eh</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike - REALLY!?!?!? Seriously, you think you can keep your strength and drop that much poundage? Unless you porked up post season, you were already pretty lean. You have too many beers end of season? ;-)</p>
<p>Barb I got your quick loss. </p>
<p>I'm going to pretend I didn't see 236 on the scale.</p>
<p>236</p>
<p>235</p>
<p>Setting a goal. Small one, to kick start the year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to be to 228 by 1/31/12.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Simple. This was easy-on weight, so let's get it back off easy right?  Let's see...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>CW: 235</p>
<p>GW: 228 1/31/12</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to be at 215 by April. I want to be at 208 by last race of season 9/28/12. Sooner I can get there, better my chances of hardware. Weight is my #1 limiter, so I really need to focus on it as it will impact bike speed and run speed moreso than anything else I can really do. I already put in the work... but the weight/power ratio is an unyeilding bitch.</p>
