Day 42



It has been a loooonnnnggg slow week, BUT I hit my original goal weight of 175lbs this morning!! This past week was the slowest week yet in terms of weight loss. However - there isn't a lot more to lose....so I'm OK with that. I'm considering exiting the fast prior to 60 days and starting the next phase of my diet/exercise plan.


I'm pretty excited about working protein back in so I can start back with the weight lifting. Phase 2 is all about toning. I'm going with a high protein low carbohydrate diet while modifying my workouts to include strength training in addition to cardio. I'm planning on juicing through next Tuesday (already have the produce for the week) and then starting to eat raw fruits/veggies/nuts. By month's end I should be working meats into my diet - pretty stoked!

I weighed in this morning at 174.8lbs for a weekly loss of 2.8lbs which brings my total loss to 39.4lbs or 20.28% of my starting body weight! Like I said, it was a 'slow-go' week - not much loss. This is why I think it's time to move on to the next phase. I don't want to become rail thin, I lost a huge amount of fat - now I need to go tone up and gain some muscle...
