Challenge

This morning I jumped on the scale and it read 224.8

I’ve reached my goal. Looking in the mirror with a critical eye I feel like i can lose another 25 pounds and actually see some abs.

I posted this on Facebook this morning and my buddy Dave, also a low-carb convert, issued a challenge. So we’re in a race to lose 25 pounds and have visible abs.

I will keep all of you posted with my progress and I am inviting Dave to do the same here on the paunchiness blog.

In case anyone is wondering how I went from 285 in April to 225 today, all of the answers are contained here. Proper nutrition, rigorous exercise (HIIT) and a bit of self loathing.

I don’t like to lose a good competition so get ready.

I clocked in at 219.2 this morning. 25 pounds down from that should have me around 11-12% BF. My primary goal at the moment is aerobic training to prepare myself for the Chicago marathon (10/10/2010), but despite my workouts not being fat loss oriented, I will be consuming, on average, 2005 kcal per day. So, it really shouldn’t matter what my 10 (yes… 10) workouts per week consist of; I am going to lose a ton of weight if I can stick to this plan as strictly as I stuck to my plan last fall.
