Weight has been stubborn lately, and it seems like I won't make 230 come July 4th. With only 11 days to go and over 10 pounds left to lose, it just doesn't seem feasible.

I'm not upset. If I manage to hit at least 235, I would have met the goal I set out for myself 14 weeks ago (see blog post entitled, "14 Week Challenge Begins!" in the March Archives). What's more, losing nearly 67 pounds and 22% bodyweight is certainly something to be proud of and celebrate. I can't wait for July 4th!!!

I'm still doing cardio twice daily and getting about 1800 calories a day. I try to do a morning spin class followed by and hour on the treadmill in the evening. I can't believe that eating well below maintenance and getting plenty of cardio hasn't led to more rapid fat loss. Oh well, the body has its own way of doing things I guess.
