Cody the Clydesdale

"At the peak of tremendous and victorious effort, while the blood is pounding in your head, all suddenly comes quiet within you. Everything seems clearer and whiter than ever before, as if great spotlights had been turned on. At that moment, you have the conviction that you contain all the power in the world, that you are capable of everything, that you have wings. There is no more precise moment in life than this, the WHITE MOMENT, and you will work hard for years, just to taste it again."

re-evaluate

I'm readjusting my goal of getting to 180 pounds. I've decided I'm going to try to get to 200 & maintain it.

Seems every time I get to 200 pounds & I get to the point where I'm about to drop below it I fall off the wagon for 3 or 4 days & gain 5-9 pounds. I figure I need to think about the long term. It would be better for me to maintain 200 than to keep attempting to drop below it, fail, then become disheartened & gain all my weight back. So it looks like I'll be racing the 2010 triathlon season as a Clyd again. Once I feel comfortable about my ability to maintain 200 poundsfor awhile I'll try to start dropping again. Until then I'll do my best to dominate & terrorize the Clydesdale division.

Hey, keeps me from having to rename my blog:)

Anonymous said...: Cody...as long as you are able to reach a level of comfort with this challenge - that's all that matters. You may find that once you're able to maintian that weight...it'll be alil easier for you TO dip below that...one step at a time, yeah? I have some things I did to get, and stay, below, 200 that I'd be more than willing to share, if you're interested....; October 6, 2009 at 8:53 AM
Mike said...: Sounds like a good idea. I think your body needs time to re-adjust to a lower weight ... and then you hit it with a bit of a loss again! ... good luck.; October 7, 2009 at 5:32 PM
