50 pounds! I am basically halfway to my initial goal, which I've set at 220.
I saw 273's for most of the week, so 272.4 today is a pretty big jump, I wouldn't be surprised if next week's number doesn't change much. Or maybe it keeps going and this is my reward for being patient and hardly losing anything for like 7 weeks.
I went to the gym only once by myself on top of the 3 training sessions this week, did the elliptical for a full hour with my heart rate in the 135-145 range. Noted improvement: It took a little more effort to initially get my heart rate above 135. For the first 15 minutes or so my pace was a little faster. After that it still wanted to do its thing and go above 150 and I had to go pretty damn slowly to keep it in this 135-145 range. Also getting the full hour in was pretty easy this time, compared to the couple times I did this the week before.
Its been a month since I did those two benchmark tests at the gym, so that's happening again this week. I expect I've improved in every area, I'm looking forward to it.
