Saving...In my last post, I mentioned how fast time flies. Well, it has been a month already. Wow, do I change things up A LOT!! I started off with a bang (like I always do) for the first two weeks. Then I switched to P90x for the third week. Then I took the fourth week [...]
A month gone by
14 week plan
I started the 14 week couch to 10k program last night. I am doing HIIT on the Elliptical in the mornings and doing the T-Nation I, Bodybuilder program when I get home from work each day. I am also back on the egg, oatmeal, brown rice, tuna, protein shake diet… 14 weeks will go by [...]
Slowly but surely
The weight is coming off very slowly. I have been losing about 2 lbs a week. I have also lost about an inch on my waist. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like it. I do feel a lot stronger though and I am enjoying my workouts. I have been doing the Superhero workout from T-nation, I [...]
Quick break, but back at it
I jumped way ahead in the competition with the neighbors and slowed way down for the last week so my body could recoup a little bit. My body was starting to feel achy and I have been searching for a new plan to start up. I was reading up on my blog and noticed that [...]
Record high :(
Well, my workouts are doing great and I am winning the competition. That is the good news. The bad news is that I have gained weight and I have hit 200 lbs for the first time in my life… I am hoping that I gained muscle. I was not limiting my calories this month due [...]
In the lead
Well, as of today, I am in the lead in our neighborhood competition. I have to say that it is really motivating me. I haven’t missed a workout yet and my workouts are 10x tougher than they would have been if I wasn’t doing this competition…
Fitocracy
I started a competition with a few neighbors using Fitocracy to track our points. We started March 1st and are running through the month. It is a great motivator using Fitocracy. I have been averaging 1,000 points per day, but one of my neighbors is hitting almost double that
Update
Well I lost a couple more pounds, but I have been extremely lazy lately. I keep thinking about what my problem is, and I think it is stress. I am usually NEVER stressed out, but I have been having a lot of problems since moving to California. Anyway, I won’t get into it since I [...]
One week in
After one week, I have lost 3 lbs which is what I wanted to average, not sure if it is good for a first week though. I ate OK, not perfect. I worked out 3x and ran twice. Still haven’t really lit the fire but I know I need to stick with it. Once I [...]
Groundhog day?
My posts are a lot like the movie Groundhog Day. I am starting back up. I am at the worst shape ever, bla, bla, bla… Well, this post isn’t any different… But, this time I am actually motivated, and so is my wife, which should help. I will measure myself later today for some starting [...]
