Another pound gone! Actually 1.1 pounds! This week was an experiment in going back to the real world. I exercised a bunch and also ate right. What I didn't do was a lot of tracking. I wanted to see how I faired by just keeping a mental track of what I ate and also when I worked out. Well...it worked. I think I finally understand the "big picture" to weight loss. Following the principles of the Best Life diet has paid off. Moving forward, I am going to take another week off from tracking. I will be in Oklahoma the first part of the week and then Las Vegas the second part of the week. Upon return, I'll resume tracking and drop the remaining 10-12 pounds and achieve my goal. Easy huh? In all actuality, it hasn't been that difficult. I am happy with the results. I have enjoyed being a participant and appreciate what I have learned.
As for getting fit, that is another story! I have really enjoyed the exercise and all that comes with it. I am not tired during the day. I look forward to my workouts and feel refreshed when I am done. It really has been great. Following part of the principles of the Best Life Diet, I am going to step my fitness up one more level. This includes longer duration when exercising and also harder efforts. I plan on increasing the frequency (minimum 5 workouts per week) and also some light competition. I raced my first cyclocross race last night and thoroughly enjoyed it (see video). I want to continue with this 8 week race series and also prepare for the Houston Marathon in January. I am looking forward to it all!
Thanks Livestrong!
