Its been about 3-4 weeks for the second time around. I have mostly been on track food wise- I had an 8 day stretch of no peanut butter and no eating after dinner (except cottage cheese and protein shake before bed). I did have a total fail last Friday where I ate peanut butter. Then it was a tough weekend. We went to my mom's and I ate otter pops. We also went to a birthday party but I managed to stay away from the cake and other goodies, choosing to have a protein shake instead.
I did however have a PR. I went to my mom's gym (no weights) and ran on the treadmill. I ran at an easy pace for about 10 minutes. Then I had a crazy idea to see how fast I could run a mile. (Drum-roll Please....) 6:31! I couldn't have kept that pace up, but I finished strong. I have been doing a mix between low inpact cardio and HIIT. My hope is that it will shock my body and continue burning fat.
Last week in a matter of 4 days I went from 174 down to 170.6, then somehow on Friday morning I work up and was 175. I know I didn't eat 14,000 calories. I wonder if it has something to do with my creatine intake (I had been taking it religiously for the last 8 days). I started this week off at 173.8. I am keeping my sights on my target: Abs.
Yeah, my buddy Jake challenged me to see who could have the best looking abs by Christmas. I, after some debate, took him up on the challenge as a way to help keep me focused. He definitely has a head start since you can actually see his top "4 pack" and I only see the top 2. But, I think I am sitting at about 16-17% body fat and I think it is reasonable to believe that I can loose 6 or so % to get the silhouette of my abs. The thinner I get, the harder it is to loose weight. I feel like I've been in the 170s for months...I am, though, seeing definition in all the major muscles though. My favorite is the shoulder area. I'll have to post a picture soon.
Well, until then....
