Weigh In

by Stephen Vinson on August 24, 2009

Today’s weigh-in was 536, which is a 6 lb loss from last week. Now I’m moving in the correct direction.

Woke up early this morning and walked a mile by the house. I knocked out the mile in 32 min, which is great because there are a ton of hills.

Walk Distance: 1 Mile
Time: 32 min
Speed: 2 mph

Notes: good walk – legs are sore

That's a great loss, Stephen and I don't want to sh*t all over your good day, but the math is beginning to work against you and your deadline. Six pounds a week may sound pretty doable to you right now, but I'd say that's the razor's edge of what's possible in the time frame you're looking at. That means you can't afford any more bad weeks; you can scarcely afford a mediocre week. At your current weight, six pound losses aren't unusual, but when you drop into the 200's (and you're going to drop into the 200's, buddy… isn't that fantastic to just think about), a six pound a week loss every week simply isn't realistic. That means you need some big-time fireworks now so that you can afford some three and four lb loss weeks down the road. I've got money in this game, so I'm watching that clock on the side.Are you?

Congrats on the weight loss. Doesn't it feel good? Next time you want to eat something unhealthy, remember this feeling. Which feeling feels better? :)
