I am going to make this short and sweet, because I have work to get done. I am again going to accept the weight loss Weekend Warrior Challenge from Brandon up there in sunny Alaska. Brandon has accepted my proposal for this month’s theme of “Bravehart.” This is a monthly challenge to achieve certain weight loss and fitness goals by stating specific accomplishments.
I am posting this early in the week, because I am actually one of the few WWC participants that needs to get prepared for the challenge. Because my challenge, before the challenge, is to get to my weight to a level of exactly 2 years ago – 200 pounds - by the end of this week: Friday specifically. I am currently at 202 pounds. It may not sound like much, but for every level of weight loss attained, the game to lose more is slightly, well…. different.
Once I have achieved the 200 pound mark (which I will), I will further achieve the following goals this weekend:
- 5 Strength Training workouts this week (Sunday to Saturday) – currently at 1 workout as of Tuesday morning
- Walk a total of 24 miles (Sunday to Saturday) – currently have completed 8 miles as of Tuesday morning
- Hold average calorie intake below daily calorie budget of 2,000 calories.
That ought to keep the belly fat and love handles at bay. I know that the word “average” in #3 above sounds weasel-like, but in fact, it is going to be my long term play to remain forever manly-looking and eat what the hell I like. Any questions?

Nothing weasely about using an average. I like your goals; they sound real and do-able.

Happy to have you along for the challenge again Frank! I think that’s awesome that you have pre-challenge goals as well, and I KNOW you will reach 200 by Friday
