Ouuu, I fall again

Yeah, I have broken down for a bagel with cream cheese and trout at Atlas Cafe.  After that, I cooked latkes, which I mostly fed off to my neighbor.  Unfortunately, a few left overs made a lot of damage.
My feeling down did not help either, oh well.  On top of this, I needed to give my ankle a break from all the running.  So, I skipped this morning climbing and running workouts.  Not good, but perhaps my body just needs a break.

I was 167.2 this morning. Gotta get back on the horse.  I will today!

165.4

I am determined to reach my goal of 160 lbs by the end of this competition at the end of January.  To do it, I plan to run twice a day (almost 2 hours total) and go to 4 yoga sessions a week.  This is on top of my regular training for climbing 1-2 times a week.  All this exercise is in order to eat well and still lose weight.   It's going to be challenging to reach my goal as I don't restrict my calorie intake during the weekends climbing outside.

Yesterday, on Sunday, I started at 8:10 am jogging on the beach and in the hills for 45 min.  I missed about 5-10 min of my regular run as I was rushing to Jody's yoga class at 9:30 am.  After stopping to buy new ice climbing pants, I ended up in Dogpatch at 1:15 pm.  I goofed around and did my power endurance workout till 6 pm.  Then, after some snacking, I went to run for an hour by the flashlight.

Today, I am resting: 2 jogging sessions on the beach and some stretching.  To reach my goal, I need to be below 164 lbs next Monday morning.  I am going to try to skip the lunch if I can.

Intermediate Results

RZ -3.8%

RM -2.0%

CS -1.8%

DL -1.5%

DW -1.4%

RZ has broken away! Will anyone come from behind and take it all from him?  There are 3 trolls that have never reported their results.  Will they wrench the victory when RZ can practically smell it!?  Have fun ya al!

166.4

Yesterday, I only ran 30 minutes due to work obligations.  I could not make both yoga and a climbing workout, so I blasted for a 5 hour evening at the Dogpatch.  I know it does nothing to lower my weight, but it brings me closer to the Totem Pole.  Except, I misbehaved and did not follow the work out plan 100%.  Good news I have worked out 1 power endurance circuit.  I will be back on Sunday!

I still need to work on my routine for the remaining 3 weeks of the comp and beyond.

167.6

I missed logging the day before. Sorry!

Yesterday, I was trying to fast to lose a little extra poundage.  The Great Balancer did not like it the least bit.  I became very hungry mid-day, unable to function.  So, from now on: no fasting, good breakfast and lunch (if hungry), lots of exercise.

Today on the menu: jog 6:30 am, PE at dogpatch 2-6 pm, yoga 6:30 pm

168.6

Just an upswing after a weekend climbing.  I was eating without restraint too.  Back to my planning board.

166.4

I relaxed over the New Years and got real tipsy first time in 17 years.  Good way to remind myself why I do not like it.  What's the fun of feeling like crap afterwards?  Not much fun drinking either.

Anyways, no workout + extra food is all that extra weight under my belt now.  Nothing to worry about.  I am going to re-start my routine with new vigor.  I am to finish PE phase this month before Potrero Chico.  I will report my routine in the next few posts.

Meanwhile, I am off to Sierras for skiing and sport climbing this weekend!
