Lonnie's Log: The Dan John Experiments (And Beyond)

Okay T-Ransformation 2024 is in the books. Here are some thoughts and a look forward

Part 1 - The Transformation

  • My regular goal was 185 and my “stretch goal”, as they are known in the crowd funding world, was to hit 175 from a top of 206 … And I got there. The last few weeks were weird with the weight fluctuations but eventually the scale gave in and I hit the numbers I was looking for. Damn if that last pound didnt take 3 weeks and hours and hours of extra cardio though

  • I was quite pleased with this years T-ransformation from a big picture perspective… Shedding 30lbs sounds like a daunting task but for some reason this year it was rather (dare I say) effortless. I think I’ve been “dieting” for so long that my sense of hunger and fullness has kind of been broken in some weird way and outside of really, really extreme circumstances I just dont get those sensations any more. I just eat the amount of calories I want and any sense of my body wanting more food just doesnt really exist.

  • When I competed back in 2012 (!!! holy shit its been more than 10 years) I got down to 159! It is a bit insane thinking Im damn near 20lbs away from that, but looking at these pictures theres still lots of fat to trim off from the legs and love handles etc… “The juice aint worth the squeeze” though as they say, and my wife would kill me if I got down into her neck of the woods weight wise haha

  • Avoiding Peanut Butter probably accounts for 80% of my weight loss haha
