THE HARDEST PART ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT IS...
DROPPING SOME LBS ISN'T REALLY THAT HARD, no harder than the 99 lb weakling trying to pack 'em on. What makes it hard is...
... how long it takes to see results.
But, there is a secret to dumping some ballast
and I practiced it today.
Be a little hungry.
Don't bonk.
Don't famine, then feast.
Be a little hungry.
You won't die.
It'll be okay.
The problem, I have found, is when I'm working but not completely wrapped up and focused on something...
... then I get bored, or impatient.
Today, for example, we were jamming on samples for our upcoming release of new apparel. All of us were focused on making sure all the fits are perfect. Making this and that small adjustment...
... all of the sudden, it's 2:30.
I'm hungry.
Our ancestors didn't pop over to the fridge,
didn't have a jar of cookies,
a pantry of goodness.
The were hungry,
often.
The thing about hunger, that' I've found is after a number of days, maybe a week, I get used to it...
... and it's super helpful if an A race is on the calendar.
A good number to shoot for is 1 lb/week,
with the lowest weigh in the morning
PRIOR to your big weekend ride.
We can adjust to fewer calories quicker than we think if we simply...
... arrange our environment to be less calorie obvious.
Stay (a little bit) hungry my friends.
