I peak for , lose for & taper for our state meet in the month of April.
Since the start of S C season in Oct. I have managed to lose 20 lbs.
Now I'm down to only 1/2 a ton.
I wish I could keep it off during off season!
i've been up and down the past 4 yrs.
all of last year i think I only stepped on a scale 5 times. I was injured and couldn't swim the way I wanted and lost all motivation to keep the weight off.
march 21st after our nationals I felt great, but swam slightly slower than 2009 times when I was 185lbs. Maybe being 226lbs had something to do with the .5-.8 sec/50m. Now I'm looking fwd to long course nationals and OW season. I started stepping on the scale every morning before breakfast. I've already lost 4lbs in 3+ weeks. I've got 20 weeks before our OW nationals and I am hoping to lose roughly 2lbs a week until then.
I only record my wednesday weight, but by stepping on the scale every day I can see what worked and didn't work the day before. but from day to day I can go up or down 2lbs easily. that's why my official weigh in is always wednesday.
