I've got to come clean with myself about my diet. I did pretty well for a few weeks and lost a few pounds. Then I became very sleep deprived, then sick. During that period, my diet fell apart. I have observed that I can stick to it during the day without difficulty, but when I am sleep deprived and fatigued, I become very hungry at night and eat too much before I go to bed. This is why, after losing a lot of weight over the last year and a half, I keep losing and regaining the same five pounds when that's about all I have left to lose. That last several pounds will matter when I'm pedaling up Sugarloaf hill on the bike course at Clermont and running the marathon there.
I want to stop having to struggle with this. In order to get there, I have to stop overeating at night. My plan is as follows: for dinner, I will have one serving of a protein, one of a carb, and one vegetable. That's it. No additional food at night. There will be nights when I have to go to bed hungry, and I have to accept that and do it. With the training I'm doing, it shouldn't take long to lose that last bit of belly fat. It's going to be difficult, but I simply have to accept that fact and move on. If anyone reads this, please wish me luck!
