Wow, 2011 sucked. I averaged 191 lbs for the year, I never got below 186 lbs. I only worked out about 33 times and that was only around October. Well, I am 40 now and still not motivated like I should be. I don’t know if it is the stress of moving to California and [...]
A review of 2011
Last minute effort
Well, I got sick (didn’t even lose weight) and it stopped my workouts. I actually gained weight. As of Monday, I weighed 193 lbs. I started a new extreme plan and am going to see how much I can lose by my 40th. Don’t expect too many posts before then, but I will talk about [...]
Update
Holidays – another excuse to cheat? Seems like it. Anyway, I haven’t been eating too great and I have slowed down the workouts probably due to being discouraged over my shoulder. Good news is that I am back at it. Today I am starting a couch to 5k to 10k program. I joined a running [...]
Inner conflicts…
I love this workout I am doing, it is fairly easy and definitely a muscle builder. BUT… I need to pick one or the other. Gain muscle, or lose weight. I know I could lose the weight after gaining muscle, but I want to see a major change before my 40th birthday. That is in [...]
Strength
Well, I can feel myself getting stronger, but I noticed an old pain coming back. My damn shoulder is holding me back from gaining on the bench. My triceps are strong, I can do the same close grip as I can regular grip. I believe it is my triceps that are doing all the work. [...]
Delayed reaction?
I mentioned that I had a cheat weekend this past weekend. Much to my surprise, I didn’t gain any weight on Monday. Then, I weighed my self on Wednesday, and somehow I gained 3 pounds. Good news is that it is slowly heading back into the right direction. I am not too concerned with the [...]
New Program
I start my new program. It is a program I created a long time ago but never really used it. I start today and I am excited about it. It is unconventional because I will be working out everyday. The workouts are based on recuperation of each muscle (determines which one I am working out [...]

First Four Weeks Complete
Well, I have been following the HitchFit system for four weeks now. I have lost 11.5 pounds and two inches off my waist. I think I could have done better as I haven’t followed the workout perfectly as described. I also don’t plan on following it as I am creating my own workout again, but [...]
New Goals
I have been thinking about some goals. The usual goals are to get my waist down to 30 inches, weight down to 160 pounds, etc. I also want to increase my bench, not sure why, I just want to. When I was 15, I was 139 lbs and I was able to bench 250 lbs. [...]
