The monster has been hurt

By monster I mean the 250 mark that has been oh so hard for me to break.  I will consider that monster killed if I consistently stay under 250 for 4 consecutive days one of those days being a weekend day.

I have to step back and look at the significance of this, the last time I was under 250 was before my youngest son was born.  That was over 3 years ago.

Recall that 243 was the lowest recorded weight I have had this century.  If I can make it past Thanksgiving (I will not lie to you I am going to enjoy it), I think I can crack 240 and be in the  high 230’s by end of year.  I got 6 weeks to do it.  Two pounds a week is absolutely doable.  December 20th does make the halfway mark, if I do make it to 235 by or on December 20th, I would be on track to reach 190 by June 20th.

Still I fear that the quick weight loss is behind me.  I have started getting myself taped.  I will shoot for a taping every Saturday.  This was done around midnight last night.

  • Neck:        17.5
  • Shoulder:    57.0
  • Bicep:        17.0
  • Forearm        12.0
  • Wrist        7.0
  • Chest:        50.5
  • Waist:        47.0
  • Hips:        45.5
  • Thigh:        27.0
  • Calf:        20.5

I ran a four+ today, time doesn’t look good but I did hit 4 major lights.  I was kind of glad to get them though.  I felt weak when I was running and needed those mini breaks, my time 49:41.

Weight: 248.2
