An Opportunity of a Lifetime

I've been given the opportunity of a lifetime. I was selected to participate in a nationwide weight loss contest with the restaurant Genghis Grill. I have agreed to eat healthy options at Genghis Grill everyday for 90 consecutive days for a possibility of becoming the next "Jared". Weight loss, social media posting, and public votes will determine the winner. #ggHealthKwest

The Plateau

Okay, so losing weight was fast and easy the first 3 weeks. It's been four days, and I haven't lost a pound - so it's time to mix things up! I've already travelled down the hill of weight loss, and I'm standing on the plateau. The view is beautiful, and now I'm staring down the steep slope of a mountain, and I have a running start.

I spent the day doing a lot of research, reading, and asking questions. I've tapped into several sources: Online articles and forums, local nutrition stores, gym managers, MMA friends, and got great advice from everyone. I'm going to change my routine completely.

First, I'm changing my diet. My current caloric deficit was somewhat extreme, and somehow I've been convinced that eating 400-600 more calories will help me lose weight faster. It's a hard concept for me to grasp, but I know it's true). I'm also going to TRY my best to eat my Genghis Grill bowl at lunch instead of dinner.

Second, I'm changing my workout. I've been doing my workouts at night, mainly cardio with some light weight training at 6pm. I'm switching it up - 6am high intensity interval training on the elliptical. I'll do some weight training at night still, as I have a great ability to use things in my house, and my own body weight, to accomplish my goals. Just by adding the cardio in the morning, I should be priming my body for fat burning throughout the day, and I'll leave much more time at night for relaxing, marketing for Genghis Grill, and researching my next month of weight loss.
