Weeks Eleven & Twelve: July 3 - July 17

So this is a special two week blog. Due to my awesome trip to St. John's I did not have time to write a blog last week and also I did not have my usual scale to weigh on it would have resulted in inconsistant measurements. As of this weekend I lost 1 pound over the last two weeks. While this is not a great number I am ok with it. While in St. John's I obviously did not stick with my usual diet or exercise plan so these kind of results were expected. But now things can get back on track for the next 6 weeks.

Two weeks ago I started a challenge to weight train 10 times in 14 days. I was not able to successfully complete this challenge. In 2 weeks I weight trained 8 times. I would have completed the final 2 weight training days this weekend but I was able to play in 2 all day golf tournaments so the weight training got pushed to the side. Anyways I don't think the weight training on it own was enough to get really good results. Another reason I think I only lost one pound in 2 weeks. I am now going back to a more balanced mix of cardio and weight training.

My next 2 week challenge will be to get out of the 220's. Right now I am 224 and In two weeks my goal is to lose more than 4 pounds. It is a seemingly simple thing to say but 2 pounds per weeks is above my usual average so it will take lot of control of my diet and training. I think this goal will be a good way to get back on track with my weight loss and will get me closer to my end goal for this blog of 215 pounds by the end of 16 weeks.

Well that is the plan for the next two weeks. I will be back next weekend with a new update.

Thanks for reading.
