Vitals Update

Weight: 212 lbs.
Total Weight Lost: 23 lbs.
BMI: 26.5
Resting Pulse: 75

I need to lose 17 lbs. in order to be in the "normal" BMI zone.

Note: Nice. The loss is finally happening consistently. I haven't been logging my workouts or meals but I'm being loose in both my workouts and eating right now. I will continue to do so until after Mardi Gras. The Roubaix is the following weekend and that event will kick off phase 2 of the year. I'm pretty happy with where I'm at right now.

Vitals Update

Weight: 212.8 lbs.
Total Weight Lost: 22.2 lbs.
BMI: 26.6
Resting Pulse: 72

I need to lose 17.8 lbs. in order to be in the "normal" BMI zone.

Note: YES! I finall lost some weight. Nearly 4 lbs to be exact. I've been salcking in my journals but I think that this loss can be attributed to less bad snacking and alternating fitness intensity. The next couple of weeks will be a little helter skelter but after Mardi Gras I'll be back on track, going harder than ever.

Resting Pulse: 77

I need to lose 21.6 lbs. in order to be in the "normal" BMI zone.
