Day 51 - Bad News Bears

So yesterday I was boasting about my 12.43% loss....that was until I found out that I've officially been bumped to second place. This guy came out of NOWHERE with a 14% loss!! He wasn't even on my radar of potential threats...until now.

The "commissioner" (as we like to call him) did some projections, and according to him, I need to lose at least NINE POUNDS in order to retake first place and win the competition. 9 pounds in two weeks?!?!? I'd like to think it's possible considering I lost 10 pounds in the first two weeks of the competition. But things were different then...my body was literally shocked by the drastic change in diet and exercising. Our bodies are made to adapt and over the past 8 weeks my body has adapted to the changes. I mean I only lost 4 pounds the past two weeks and now I need to pull 9 pounds out of my butt. *SIGH*

I'm caught between just keeping with what I've been doing and taking an inevitable second place or kicking my ass into gear and go for first place. But I've decided that I've worked too damn hard to give in now. Therefore, the plan is fruits, veggies, fish, and chicken ONLY. No more carbs/starches period. Also, starting tomorrow I'm going to start two-a-day workouts. Last year I spent the last week of the competition working out in the morning and the evening and I lost 3.37% over the last two weeks. So maybe if I start two-a-day this week I'll be able to loss the 9 pounds or 4+%. The hardest part is making myself get up even earlier than I already do to beat the traffic. Just gotta remember:

Lord help me....
