Stalled Weight Loss - Must Redouble My Efforts

DAY 154/180

Weight Loss Stats:

-----------------------------------------------------

I'm not pleased with the lack of weight loss this week despite good training and clean dieting. My weight has hovered around 247 pounds for over a week now. But I can only look ahead and focus on improving upon past efforts. Therefore, I have set a goal to see what I can accomplish with extreme focus and dedication for one week. My goal is to hit 241.6 by Monday, June 15th in order to mark the 60 pound loss mark. This would put me in a good position to come in at 230 or better come July 4th. Thus, the plan to achieve this goal will be the following:

PLAN MON. 6/8/09 - SUN. 6/14/09:

1. Train 2-a-days Mon. through Sun. Do an AM Spin class at the gym followed by a an hour speed walking on the threadmill at 65% MAX Heart Rate.

2. Eat clean and track all meals in my diet log.

3. Drink 6 oz of Orange Peel tea twice daily.

4. Drink 80 oz of Green Tea per day.

5. Get a solid 8 hours of sleep per night.

Lets see if following this plan strictly will result in hitting the 60 pound mark by week's end. That would surely be cause for celebration!


**NOTE** On Monday, June 8, I weighed in at 245 pounds. As I write this (Tuesday, June 9, I just weighed in at 244.4 pounds!). The weight has begun to come off again! Consequently, I have had to readjust my goals for the week; in keeping with the 5 pound loss goal, I will aim for 240 pounds by week's end.
