When you are within that last 5-10 pounds to lose it can be tough. For one thing, you aren't uncomfortable enough. Your clothes fit ok. You look pretty good. You rationalize "I can eat that cuz I workout a lot". People tell you that you look fine and don't need to lose any weight. It is a different set of problems than someone who is trying to learn to eat right. I pretty much have that down, it's what I eat on top of the good stuff that sets me back. If I was happy there, that would be one thing. But for once in my life I want physical excellence, and I have chosen now and this program to take me there. My lucky readers get a peak into my inner workings here.
I'm going to talk about specifics again. Keep in mind I am 5'10" almost. I remember in my early twenties feeling like I was pushing my limits of what weight was acceptable for me personally when I was in the 145 range. Just so you know this was not a fit 140 pounds. This was the point in my life when occasionally I would realize I hadn't exercised for three months at a time. Then I decided 150 was my absolute high limit and if the scale ever went there I had to do a drastic diet. Then I realized that I felt bad about myself and kind of heavy when I was in the 160's during a stressful time when I owned a business. As 40 approached, I got some good exercise habits together but still didn't quite dial in the nutrition part. My body had settled to around 150-158 as normal. Insert frownie.
So for me the 150 mark has been the one to conquer for a while. Day 19 was where I came back down from the damage and saw 149.6 again. Granted, I am putting on muscle with these workouts for sure. But I still like the numbers to go right.
