5 days until weigh in

So my work is hosting a biggest loser contest that I have decided to participate in. I am a very competitive person and will do almost anything to win, especially since there is cash involved.

The contest runs from January 5th to March 16th. My goal is to drop 21 pounds, which is 2 pounds per week. I did something similar last year and dropped 10 pounds so I am going to have to work twice as hard. I am going to do a little cheating as I want to pack on about 5 pounds or so before my initial weigh-in just to make it a little easier. I went to a New Years Eve party last night and pigged out, so I am off to a good start right now.

My plan for the coming weeks is to do two hours of cardio per day and have a very strict diet. The diet will be a modified atkins diet with the lone card exception to be brown rice and very limited quantities. I will be logging the cardio minutes I do as well as the food I am eating in case this proves to be very successful. The two biggest setbacks I see will be keeping negative foods out of the house to avoid temptation and a trip to Boston I have planned the first week that the contest starts. I always eat a lot of Italian food there as well as down a few beers and neither is good for any kind of diet.
