New Goal Weight Achieved!

Current Stats:

• Current weight: 170.0.lbs
• Current BMI: 20.9 (smack in the middle of "healthy")
• Goal weight: 170 lbs

This is actually a little surprising to me.  I expected it to take a lot more time, but I've achieved weight goal number 2.  I still feel strong on the bike.  Haven't been running because of the achilles tendon issue.  So, I'm guessing I won't be able to really tell how well this has helped with the half ironman preparation.  I was hoping to go sub-5 hours at IM Boulder 70.3 this year, but without the run fitness, it may not happen.  Time will tell.

The plan is to maintain at 170 lbs and see how it works out.

Goal Weight Achieved!

Since I started this body composition experiment, it's gone much faster than I thought it would.  As of today, my scale says 179.5 lbs.  In 4 months, I've lost 15 lbs just by eating better.

My power on the bike seems to be staying strong (right about 310-315 watts FTP).  So, I've decided to see if I can shed another 10 lbs and see how it affects me.  Laura says I'm too skinny, and I know I am.  This is not intended to be permanent.  I just want to see how long it takes me to get where I want to be... and how to do it.

My clothes don't fit anymore.  I'm absolutely swimming in everything.  I can't stay this skinny or I'll have to buy an entirely new wardrobe.
