Well, I had been out of it for a month due to a bad shoulder. The chiropractor finally approved me working out again. I was going to go crazy and start a custom workout based on a mixture of P90x / Afterburn / Atkins / V-diet, but decided to ease into it with Afterburn and Atkins for now. I am doing strict Afterburn, but more of a protein diet than an Atkins diet. I started today at 186 lbs and a 42 inch waist.
…Same old thing. I have been getting a workout in each morning, but still no HIIT. My strength has gone up, but I still have a gut and weigh the same.
So far I am loving working out at home. It is too bad I paid for my gym membership in full (18 months). I haven’t lost any weight yet, but I am starting to feel stronger. I need to do some cardio (HIIT) at the gym…
I hate starting out slow. I want to make BIG changes FAST. Vegas is only 8 weeks away. I partially want to do something more demanding like Warp Speed Fat Loss or Afterburn and then do this Huge in a Hurry program after Vegas…
I started with a split routine last week, but didn’t feel like I was working out that great. I for some reason need more structure – a plan. I decided to buy the Get Huge In a Hurry book by Chad Waterbury. It is an interesting read. Of course I want to jump into the Get Lean routine right away, but he wants you to start with the 3 week Get Started phase first. I started with that today.
It feels so easy, but I am going to stick it out for the three weeks. After that, I can’t decide if I should move on to the next phase, Get Strong, or skip to the Get Lean phase first. Each phase is 16 weeks. I want to have a noticeable change by the time I go to Vegas in May.
I used my new equipment and I liked it! Now I just need a surround sound system to get the music flowing. It is kind of cool, I have my music streaming through my Xbox into the TV. I can also have a slideshow of bodybuilding pictures flowing through it!!
Well, my equipment should be arriving tonight (after a few shipping mishaps). I was going to wait until after it arrived, but I am anxious. I ordered a Lat Machine, Power Rack, Plate Tree, 500 lb olympic weight set, some lat bars, medicine balls, and other minor items.
I can’t wait to put it all together!!
I am still here, I have been at a standstill for some reason. It is not like I don’t have the motivation, I just keep coming up with excuses. I have been helping my wife get (and stay) motivated. She didn’t like working out in the living room, so I bought a TV for the basement. I also cleared some stuff out and am slowly turning it into a small gym. The good news is that it is making me want to get into it more.
My cousin also bought a weight set and will be getting into it. I used to be the strong one and now he is much stronger than me – that alone is making me want to hit the gym hard.
With those motivators, why haven’t I made it to the gym?
Ugh, this fasting is not for me. ALL food looks good to me now. At least what I am craving isn’t too bad for you – Steak and Eggs!! Of course I have lost weight, anybody would if they haven’t eaten for 4 days. I feel like I am slowing my metabolism down though. I don’t know if I can finish the day without eating…
Well, it is day 3 of this fasting cleanse. I have lost a few pounds and am under 180 now. I haven’t worked out this week, but I will be returning to the gym harder than ever next week.
