I'd like to know what you guys think about my new plan.
In March 2006, I started working with a personal trainer and nutritionist. I weight trained and did cardio (elliptical and running) 3x a week - 30 mins sessions each. I lost 60 lbs and now weight 173 and am 19% BF (I'm 41 and 5'6").
I hit a plateau around the holidays and for the last 4 months I've varied between 169 - 175 and 19-20% BF. Also, I need to cut back on the $$ so I'm on my own, now. I find it hard to motivate myself unless I have some sort of a goal and I want to lose a total of 20 more lbs. So.....
I'm training for a 10K on May 28th and a sprint triathlon on July 15th.
I'm essentially upping my cardio (running - easy, tempo, fartlek and distance) to 5x per week and reducing my weight training to 1 day per week.
After May 28th, I'll incorporate swimming and biking into my cardio.
My diet is approx 1600-1700 calories per day.
1. Do you think this will help me bust my plateau and lose the remaining 20 lbs?
2. Any suggestions?
