I didn't get my 178, but I did get 179. Down 1 lb, and buh-bye 180s!
Rob was down 1 lb also, to 268. Jarrod is not weighing for a while, since he's lifting so much that the numbers on the scale aren't moving much. He's using the mirror as his guide.
So, Rob's still in the lead with 8 lbs remaining, I'm behind him with 14 lbs remaining. It's still a little early to call it, but I think Rob might win this. :)
I'll update this post with goalish things once I get to work, or maybe this afternoon. Watch this space!
UPDATE: Or the space below the fold (OPEN WIDE).
Now, as promised, on with the goals. This is what I wanted for this week:
1200-1300 calories planned, 1500-1700 actual. Protein over 75g, fiber over 25g. - My planned calories were always between 1200 and 1600. My actual calories were between 1500 and 2000, though the majority of days were in the low 1800s. I met the protein goal every day, and the fiber goal 3/5. I think I might be getting the hang of this.
Workouts:
3 interval cardio workouts - check!
1 long bike ride (probably the same 30 mile course, but I may go a little further so I can stop for breakfast before I head back home) - check! 39 miles, even.
1 lower body strength - kind of...the sculpting class involved some squats and glute exercises, but I don't think I can really count it.
1 upper body strength - check! The sculpting class was mainly arms, back, shoulders.
2 abs - just one.
1 long walk - check!
1 short ride - alas, no.
By my calculations, this should add up to about 8-9 hours of workouts for this week. And it would have. The ones I actually did added up to just under 6.5 hours--6:22:51. Calories burned were 3481.
So, not a terribly bad week, and a pound's loss to show for it. So what are the goals for this week?
Food: Less than 1400 planned calories/day gets the WDSoA this week. By experience, this should give me around 1700-1800 actual. The protein and fiber goals stay the same (75g and 25g, respectively), and I'm adding a water goal of 2L/day.
Workouts: I've been having trouble getting two-workout days now that I've started using the Kathi Smith DVDs for my strength workouts. By the time I get that workout and dinner done, I've lost the daylight I would need for the 2nd workout. So I need to either start doing the Kathi in the morning and the walk/ride in the evening, or I need to stop trying to get two workouts on strength days. So, I'm going to meet this in the middle. I'm only going to try for two workouts on one strength day, not both.
3 interval workouts (eventually, this will go back to running. Right now, I'm just increasing the run intervals gradually)
1 lower body strength
1 upper body strength
2 abs
1 long ride or spinning class
1 short ride or hour+ walk
And that's it. Let's roll!

thinking about it...I'd like to. The only thing that's keeping me from signing up is that the Katy Flatland's that following Sunday. With our volunteer shortage, I hate to miss church two Sundays in a row.
If I do sign up, it'll be 50 miles in Conroe, 62 miles at Katy. I think I'll be ready for 100 by the Bike for Sight in September, or the Elves & More in October/November, if they have it again.
You doing the Conroe ride?

Yeah, I want to do both Conroe and Katy.
I'll just be getting back in town from Cancun for Conroe - so 50 sounds about right. Need to get Rob on that bike of his.
