I am within one pound of my goal of 160 lbs. I am planning to go down to 158 lbs just because I am going to my parents house the end of this month and I always over eat there. My plan then is to come back home and still be very close to my goal weight of 160lbs.
Since I am reaching my goal it is time to start thinking about a transition from weight loss to weight mantenance and muscle toning. I have started doing a lot of upper body lifting with light weight and many reps. Some examples are 200 curls a night, 100 shoulder presses, 100 front presses, and 100 lateral raises. I am doing these with 5 lb dumb bells. As I get to a point where I can do these easily I will raise the weight. I am still doing cardio by continuing to walk 3 mi/day, cycle 5 mi/day, and I am also stating to train for a 5K run which I will participate in at the end of May.
Of course I will still watch my calorie intake and try to stay below 1500 calories for now and watch how my weight does. If I continue to lose weight I will up my calories to 2000.
