I missed my goal by one pound. The "maintaining" week had an adverse effect. My regular weekly structure works really well because there are no real decisions to make. I eat basically the same thing everyday during my normal week. When there is choice involved, I almost always choose poorly. If the weight is going to keep coming off, I need to learn to not go crazy when I don't have my set schedule. There is 5 and half weeks left until April 1st. Too make my goal of 200 I need to lose 2.6 lbs a week. My goal for next Friday is 210.4

I have decided to start my training plan a week early. IT STARTS NOW!!
The plan has changed. I am going to break the year down to 4 periods with a week break between each.

1 Base period, basic aerobic endurance 6 weeks
2 Build 1, Get specific for High Uinta's Classic
3 Build 2, Get specific for LOTOJA
4 Build 3, Get specific for State championship cyclocross race

For the next 6 weeks I have 61 hours of cycling planned out. If I can come close to that, my fitness base should be good.

This week schedule is:

Monday 1 hour tempo ride
Tuesday 1 hour power work
Thursday 1 hour tempo ride
Friday 1 hour Hill work
Saturday 2 hours long ride
