3 Years of Weight Loss

Started this journey back in June of 2006 weighing close to 260. December of 2008 was my low point at 210. The summer weather and minor injuries have resulted in weight gains all three summers.



The plan for 2010 is to get under 200. Today's weight is 228. I have 13 months to reach this goal. 2.15 lbs. per month.



Cardio: 1000 miles run.

Hiking: 1 major hike per month.

Races: 1 race per month.

Cross Training: 2x week. Resistance training.



Fuel: Calories at 14000 per week (2000/day).

Burn 3500 per week. About a 7000 calorie deficit.



Reduce fats, keep carbs and proteins almost the same.

More salads, vegetables and fruits in diet.

48 by 48

48 pounds lost before I turn 48.

Hike the Grand Canyon before I turn 48.

Run either the Twin Cities Marathon or the Chicago Marathon before my 48th.

48 Books read

Run in the 48th state.

So this is the plan for the next year. As all good goals I do reserve the right to change all or part of it as I find I cannot achieve the goal.

It started on November 7th and so far I've achieved:

I ran in the 48th state - Arizona.

I've finished book #1 -Bowerman and The Men of Oregon.

I'm down 1 pound.
