Going Sugarless this week (Page 2)

I love sweet tea too!!!  It has been much easier to cut that out than the Soda. 

I have softened my diet this past week and had some sugar stuff but still minimal compared to what it would have been.  Still exersizing alot.

I was at 213lbs yesterday.  Next week I will be stricter again and hopefully will get to 210 in a a few weeks. 

I have not been as strict as I have hoped the last couple of weeks, but

I hit 211 on Sat.  That made me feel good. 

I was planning to have a 100 mile bike and 12 mile run week this week but the weather turned cold and nixed that plan. 

Glad to be of motivation.

I have hit a bit of a wall lately here.  Still staying off the soda for the most part.  Probably averaging about 12oz of soda or coffee a day.  Not bad.

I weighed in at 210 on Sat after 50 mile ride, then I broke down and had some soda and pizza on Sat night.

I have struggled a little bit in Jan to be as strict as I had been before Christmas time.  I need to get back in the game 100%.

Riding below 50 is too cold for me.  I don't have much cold weather gear at all and it does not make alot of sense to buy any since the time is so short. 

I think in reference to this week you quoted though that the lows were in the 30's and the highs were in the 60's.  I am at work the daylight hours.

Just thought I would give an update for all those who have contributed to this thread.

I have officially signed up for a triathlon (only done du's to this point) and a 10k.  10k is next month and the tri is in April.

On Sat, I weighed in at 208.   WOW, it really feals good.

Funny thing is that I have been becoming more and more aware of the fat that I still have.  I am not sure what my ideal weight will be but I know I need to get below 195 to get on the lowest cost insurance charts as I need to buy some more life insurance and want to get the best price I can since it will be for 20-25 years. 

Cool, Pepsi is my weakness too.  I too get a headache.  The lack of caffiene is what causes it, so I have been having a coffee (taking a long time to develop a taste for it) in the morning to keep the headaches away and help me get going but I think the sugar and lack of carbination processes better. 

Thought I would post an update on my progress. 

I was 205 yesterday.  The 200 mark is getting ever closer. 

Hoping to take off another 4-5 pound by April 12 which is my 1st tri of this year.

Another update.

203lbs as of Sat.  Yippee.  I am registered as a clyde for my April 12 tri so i might need to slow this down a bit.
