Subject: RE: 10 Week Trim Challenge! 14th July - 22nd SeptemberI'll join. I'm training for a tri on Aug 24. I hurt my back over 2 years ago. At the time, I had been working out 3-4x a week and running 5Ks. I weighed about 130. Now I weigh 141, and it's been stubbornly going nowhere since I started working out a few weeks ago (although it is starting to firm up). After injuring my back, my only exercise for 1-1/2 years was physical therapy. Living in Texas, we always have the temptations of BBQ, Mexican food and fried food. I want to make sure I maintain my strength and energy while dropping 10 lbs. Heck, I'd be happy to drop 5lbs, but getting back to where I used to be would be so nice. I refuse to believe that having a gut and back flab is part of being 49!
Eating smart usually has the good effect of giving me a lot more energy. After I eat something like a hamburger on a bun with fries or a big sandwich, I just want to sleep.
