HOW I LOST 6 LBS IN 2 A DAYS

HOW I LOST 6 LBS IN 2 A DAYS

C'MON, can you really lose 6 lbs in two days, without starving yourself or dying of thirst?  There's no way that's possible, is it? Well...

... here's how I did it.

First, I fell completely off the wagon over the weekend.

Carboloaded after my big ride Saturday.

Did nothing on Sunday.

Woke up at 166.2,
Monday.

That's the easy part.

I mean it took some work to get off the couch and find the chips and cookies on Sunday,
but not much.

The hard part wasn't...

  • eating more protein
  • shunning pointless carbs
  • or, being properly hydrated

It also wasn't...

  • getting plenty of sleep
  • hitting the weights
  • or, riding the bike

... that was all easy,
and how I should be living anyway.

What was hard was...

  • finding time for a 2 hour spin on Monday
  • throwing down for 3+ hours Tuesday morning
  • and then, lining up for an MTB race Tuesday evening

... all of which would be a joy on an individual basis.

But destroyed me half a lap into the MTB race.

If I had to boil it all down to a formula, it would be...

  • eat real food
  • do 2 a day from time to time

... for a quick jumpstart.
