I am failing at my duties of keeping you guys up to date on what is going on with this weight loss journey, so let's catch everyone up to speed.
I am currently at 257 pounds, which is 113 pounds down from my original weight when I started July 23rd 2009. That equates to about 30.5 percent of my total body weight I have lost in a little over 8 months.
The first week in May I will be participating in Warrior Dash, a 4-mile obstacle course being held outside Dallas, Texas. My trainers Thomas and Jason will be in the race as well as my friends Monty and Todd. I have been preparing by doing at least an extra hour of cardio 3-5 times a week for the past month or so. I am hoping to be fewer than 250 by the time the race comes around. I am excited to see if my body can handle four miles of work, the farthest I have gone is 3 miles. It will be a great test of endurance and heart.
The diet is being tweaked on an almost week-to-week basis and it's honestly becoming almost too much to handle. Trying to keep up with how much protein, cabs and fat I am supposed to intake depending on the day can be very confusing with the workouts, actual work, and other obligations I have. I am trying to figure out what my food plan can be four months down the road. I don’t believe I can keep the regiment I am on now forever, but I feel if I modified it I could still see results-- just not as drastic as I have been seeing.
I have planned a trip to Colorado to see a good friend after the training is over to visit Fort Collins and to hike a 14,000-foot mountain. Will I make it up to the top? Not sure, but I am willing to try.
Sorry, guys, this so short but I will have more updates coming soon.

I know it must really be dificult keeping track of all that stuff. I have tried several times and failed miserably. Perhaps you can discuss this with your trainers and they may have some ideas about how to make it easier. I hate to see you change up the routine when you are doing so great, and thinking it will be okay cause you to actually lose ground. You've been amazing, and I just don't want anything to get you down. Like I said, the trainers may have the answer to where it isn't so much of a pain and that would be the best of both worlds.
You are doing and looking great. Hang in there, RIcky.
Love, Tammy
