E2M program Round 2, Week 3, Day 6
Diet
Week started out on plan with I.F. and following along. For some reason I was having hunger pangs early on Thurs and Fri. Broke the fast early, around 7:30, by eating a few small clementines and that held me over until 10:30. Other than that, resisted the birthday treats in the office and pizza at my parents house on Sunday. Water is at or exceeding a gallon depending on amount of exercise. Cheat meal this week is sushi from
Sagami, regularly voted tops in the Philly area. BYOB, so taking a walk in my 'hood to
Tonewood Brewing for a 4pk.
Exercise
Sticking to plan circuits and spin bike sessions. Got out for a ride last Sunday on the new Pivot Trail 429, and again this morning. The bike fits me perfectly. Also graduated from thumb physical therapy yesterday. No pain for a while and range of motion is 90%, strength is pretty much back too. Will just have to keep working it on my own. Looking like the first race test will be the MASS Fair Hill race, endurance SS or 50+, on 4/23.
Weight
1/2/22 Starting weight = 235.4
3/26/22 Current weight = 196.2
Diff: weekly down 1.8, total lost = 39.2
Giddy with the results of this weeks weight in. Now that the weather is warming up and spending more time outside exercising and following the fitness plan, my goal of 185 or more by 4/30 looks obtainable. Going out clothes shopping today. My boxer briefs are pretty much boxers now. Size 40 work pants are too baggy, and the 38s are starting to look too big as well. Cutting 2" off the belt again. So far, my cycling clothing was already too tight and fits better.
Wife has had excellent results as well. Down 1.6lbs for the week, 19.6lbs overall. She's re-evaluating her goals because she can't believe the progress she's making. IM140.6 weight from '14 is within reach for her.
