Team Skinny June 2013...Summer is upon us! (Page 2)

Welcome aboard, sounds like a nice strong goal, good luck!

05/29/13 - 191.0lbs
06/05/13 - 188.0lbs
06/12/13 - 189.0lbs

06/19/13 - 187.8lbs

Huzzah!  Good week, finished my most intense week of training ever last week.  Just below 14 hours.  With the amount I ate (not all the best choices either, not terrible either, just not the best)  I didn't think I was going to do this well. 

I'm off to visit the folks for a few days, my mom is a great cook, and I love to eat, not the best combo.

I'm super excited to, I am racing my first 5K that I ever did again on Saturday.  Last year I got 31m42s.  I think if I actually rest my legs a bit on Friday I can go sub 25m this year.

Going to get some OWS practice in Lake Michigan too.

Going to be a busy weekend!  Hope everyone else is having some fun.

Come on all y'all slackers where are you at!!

Just kidding , Have the day off of work and am bored, waiting to go to my bike fitting.

Down to 87 kg this morning. That's a total of 7kg lost from the beginning of May (about 15 pounds)

Got my new withings scale this week.  Can't stop weighing myself every time I go by, lol.   My Dad calls me "gadget freak!"   Yeah, well, maybe I am!

I'm in the 4th week of Stronglifts 5x5.  For anyone that's NOT in the middle of a serious training plan, I highly recommend it.  I'm already feeling stronger and my body composition is changing in the mirror.   I don't know if it's just me, but there's something that is definitely empowering about lifting heavy things!

I hope everyone stateside is doing well!

Hmm I pretty much consider that the same.  Not to shabby considering I was out of town visiting friends and the folks for 4 days (still got good training in!).

I had a 5k this weekend.  It was the first ever race that I did last year when I started my weight loss journey.  Last years time was 31m24s, this years 24m56s.  Still room for improvement, but that is pretty good if you ask me. 

Oh and I bought a new bike .

Now let's see if we can minimize the damage of next weeks taper, and the holiday weekend!

6/20-  188

6/27 - 188.2

Happy in a holding pattern between 185 and 190,

I think we might be long lost twins or something.... It seems that we started out our weight loss last year at about the same time, at about the same weight.  Now holding between the 185 - 190.

Is this your goal weight?   I was around 185 for my HIM this year, want to be back there for the IM in August (basically there with the "margin of error" )  My wife said repeatedly, enough, I'd lost enough weight, etc.  Having been on the weight loss train (read, pats on the back), it was hard to get out of that mindset and be content with maintaining (which is also a lot of work, I've found).  But then I see a picture of me and yeah, I see that I don't really need to lose any more.  But you know triathletes.

I *think* I am OK anywhere from 182 ish to 188ish. 

I got down to 179 after a hard ride a few weeks back, but that is not a healthy way to lose weight, LOL

Not quite, my goal weight would be 175-180lbs.  I hope to get to 185 for my HIM in August.  I'm finding it fairly easy to maintain during my HIM training, but difficult to loose.  It probably would help if I didn't eat enough food to supply an army each meal.
