Got up today, took a pee, disrobed and stepped on the scale:
WEIGHT: 286.0 lbs!
Yay! I met my subgoal of 287.5 or less! I was worried I wouldn’t make it as I had a lot of salt the last couple of days. Even if I was 288 I would’ve been happy.
SUB-GOAL for WEEK 2: Weight down to 276-279 lbs by next Monday. I should easily be able to do it if I can continue going to the gym in the mornings and doing cardio in the evenings and dieting. This second week I’m not going to freak out if I miss a cardio or gym session or don’t diet strictly; as long as I’m consistent for this week I’m happy. Around week three or four I will start to get much stricter with my diet — I want a PERFECT day of dieting; that is, following my diet 100% perfectly.
Today I took a break from weights (slightly sore left knee from cardio, quite sore hand from throwing the heavy kettlebell over my head) and dieting; I had a Quiznos sub (with cheese) with a pop and later in the evening a Dominos pizza — back to it tomorrow.
Well done!!!
Wow! target to loss ten pounds again for the second week. If you keep doing like that, by the end of the fourth week you will make your goal 240lbs. Is it too quick? Is it healthy?
Thank you. No, it doesn’t work like that. The first couple of weeks the weight comes off easily. After about 260lbs it comes a lot harder and I will have to become very strict on my diet and I will only lose 2-3 pounds per week at most.
