23 Oct I’m going 242 this weekend – Update

Wed night before I cut my water

Update!

If you want to know exactly how I make the drop from 265 down to 242, get this guide: Cutting Weight ebook.

Here is where I started last week, and where I’m at now:

10/18 Saturday (cut out carbs):
BW 268

10/18 Sunday
BW 265

10/19 Monday
BW 263.5

10/20 Tuesday:
BW 261.0

More glycogen depletion and walking on Monday – Wed, last training session was last night. Basically staying active each day, don’t feel too bad really. Better than most cuts that I’ve done, and I’ve done dozens.

10/21 Wednesday:
BW 261.0

10/22 Thursday:
BW 257.5 – so that puts me exactly at 15lb over, which is good.

Now, Thursday AM and I’ve cut off my water except for the times that I outline in the book “cutting weight”.

I’ll be driving down to Ft Lauderdale to check my weight on the offical scale and I’m guessing that I’ll be about 5lb down once I arrive there which will only leave me 10lb left.

The plan is to go to bed no heavier than 248 tonight, but I’ll probably end up closer to 245 and get up to sweat the rest off.

Thanks for following along. I’ll be updating throughout the weekend.

Amazingly enough, I still feel good. A little lethargic now, but not nearly as bad as past cuts. [share title=”Share this Article” facebook=”true” twitter=”true” google_plus=”true” linkedin=”true” pinterest=”true” reddit=”true” email=”true”][author title=”About the Author”]
