The contest is back on

I haven't been dieting or exercising for the past two and a half weeks, but I am ready to go. I went to the gym for an hour last night and that was very exhausting. I'm going to try and go the rest of the week and weekend and get back into the 1.5 to 2 hour workouts. My weight was 152.8 this morning so I am slightly behind schedule, but still should be able to hit 145 by the middle of March. I would need to essentially lose 8 more pounds, which would put me at a pace of 2 pounds per week, which includes this week. I'm not sure if i will be able to get there, but if I throw in some slight dehydration/laxatives for the final weigh in, I may be able to cheat a few more pounds.
