Hit the Mark.....

Man, I finally hit the mark, that mark was my target weight (well at least my first goal). My first goal was to get under 200lbs. Yesterday, I weighed in at 198.8lbs, so that is a loss of nearly 62 pounds since Jan. 2008. I never actually set a date to reach this goal; the main reason for not setting a date is I know how hard it can be to actually get the body to respond and keep responding. I was actually plateaued at around 210-215 for quite a few months. I finally broke the plateau by doing a metabolic booster routine (glycogen depletion by way of the Cyclo-Club 7 day fat loss boot camp), this routine has set my metabolic fires and they are going like a Southern California brush fire driven by the Santa Anna winds. :)

I am presently planning my routine for the 2009 race season, and I going to do part of an off season training program then part of an in season training program with the goal of peaking or close to it by my first major race " The Battenkill Roubaix", I am going to try and get a race or two in before that as part of my cycle just as a marker of my progress. But, with a new baby coming in April that may not happen but we shall see. I am not going to be overly concerned with weight loss for the race season I will through in a fat loss routine (7days) here and there but I know that the pounds will come off anyhow by watching my nutrition and increases in my training intensity and volume the weight will still come off.

Man I just wish this snow and cold weather would go away!
