I started a competitive diet with my friends at work. The rules of the competition are to lose the most amount of weight in 4 weeks. Since we all have different body types the weight loses will be according to percentage. The person who loses the highest percentage of body weight within the allotted time will get a nice new crisp $100 bill. I have really challenged myself both in my diet and at the gym this month. My strategy throughout this month has been to go to the gym twice a day and do cardio both times. I burn about 600 calories each time. I am also eating a lot healthier. I do not eat anything past 6pm during the week or on the weekend. I’ve really been strict with my eating. My day usually begins with a healthy breakfast of orange juice, egg whites, and whole wheat toast at 6am, followed by a salad for lunch at around 12 noon, and for dinner I’ve been having cereal at around 5:30-6pm. As you can see, that’s not a lot of food when you’re going to the gym twice a day and burning about 1200 calories daily. I guess this is the reason why I’ve been able to lose 11 pounds (5.5% of my original body weight) within such a short period of time. I am actually ahead in the diet and I think I will win when it’s over. I will let you guys know how it turns out. I hope to lose at least another 8 pounds within 2 weeks. I really want to be ready for my South Beach vacation (July 7th thru the 15th), I’m going scuba diving again!!! But that is a conversation a later post…
