-82 -38 -5

Thats 38 days to Thailand in case you are wondering. Well the results for the week are very good scale wise.I am down 5.6 lbs. My scale does seem to jump all over so what the exact number is no matter its going in the correct direction.
Dana has started LP's OPT/remix so we are on the same program which is really great seeing as we are our 1/1 accountability partners Also impossible to lie to one another cause the proof will be in a bikini
in 38 days. We have started a few mini contests so make us fly all the way thru the next few weeks.
Contest one is 5 lbs by Nov 1. So we both have 2 weeks of 100% and a 1000 cal deficit ahead of us.
We send each other weekly bikini and scale shots......ha keepin it real....yikes.
We ran through the plans again last night. I have a full week on the program on her but no matter. Its about our run till Thailand and then the  final weeks till Xmas.
Dana's surgery is the week before xmas so its extremely important she build as much strong muscle as she can. Needless to say her running will not be happening for the first year post surgery and lifting will be a careful process. The good thing is her days will no longer be filled with pain.

So Opt remix is our next 90 days. well 82 for me but no matter.
I like the discipline of the program. It was time for another 90 days of 100% for me. I think its important to be able to get yourself back to that point. Its so much about personal commitment.
Even when you get to your goal weight and maintenance I suspect a 90 day program at full compliance once a year will go a long way to maintaining terrific results.
We work to hard to accomplish this to let less than great become a lifestyle.
There is something to be said about the newness of a program and not being exactly sure what the next day brings.
Tomorrow is a refeed day for me. I quit refeed months ago under a so called "experts" advice.
Funny my weight loss has stalled since then.
So I am happy with my strict guidlines with refeed thrown in every week. The workout are varied and quite interesting. They look unsuspecting on paper but once you see the demos you realize you are in for  something a little challenging.
-5 is for Rachel. 5 days till her surgery and all clear. I will speak of nothing but that. On friday the Dr will come out of the operating room and tell Gary, we got it, she will be fine.
Almost there Rach, breathe and stay strong
