The last few weeks have been somewhat frustrating for me. I’ve hit a plateau in my weight loss, but I can’t really complain when I’m down 78 pounds in total so far. I have done a little travel, and I’ve been switching things up as far as my eating has been concerned.
Based upon the data that I have collected (every day since Jan 1), I’m still losing weight – just very, very slowly. I’m hoping that over the next week or two things start to pick back up.
My training program was starting to get a bit intense and I think I was suffering a bit of overtraining syndrome. I’ve dropped a kettlebell and added another running day. So far, it feels good. We’ll see how this works over the next few weeks.
My kettlebell workouts have switched to be mainly hard core snatch protocol workouts. They are brutal, but fun! This morning I was able to complete 40 minutes with a 20kg bell. I did take a break to change my son’s diaper, so in my mind it doesn’t count as a total completion with the 20kg. Hopefully Friday morning will yield a successful 40 minutes hammering out snatches. After that, I’ll kick it up into the next gear and do the 36 second protocols…
Anyhow, my journey has yielded some amazing results! I’ve slowed down a touch, but that should hopefully change soon. I’ll be running a half marathon this weekend, that should be fun!
