On Jan 1, 2006 I weighed in around 250 to 255 lbs. By June of 2006 I was down to 225lbs.. With a one year son (at the time) and his erratic sleeping patterns due to being sick, I did a LOT of spinerval workouts in the living room and by June 2006 had dropped to 225lbs.
I've held in the 223-228lb range for the last year. It doesn't help that I go a while of eating well, and with portion control, then blow it for a week, and I make trips to the 'company cookie jar' (stocked with pop (soda), chips, and other junk food stuff).
TODAY, I am starting something new and wanted to share (in case it gives you inspiraction to bust through plateaus). When I get the urge to go get junk food, I intend to walk to the company kitchen, take out the money for the junk, move the money to my other pocket, and walk back to my desk WITHOUT the junk.
Purpose is two-fold, radically minimize the junk intake, and the money that goes into the 'other pocket' will go into a "Fitness Fund" that can be used for race registration, a yoga dvd, ....whatever.
Anyway, now that it's been made public, you all are allowed to check in with inspires and pm's for accountability.
I will try to remember to include the amount of money added to the "Fitness Fund" in the training log.
So far today, I've urged only once (and resisted) and earned myself an 50 cent start.
EDIT: This will also include any times that I feel like going to get lunch, when I've already brought stuff from home.
