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.

Hello all, I have been hovering around 183 for a while. For two weeks in a row, I have worked out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and skipped the rest. This week, I missed Monday due to… no excuses… Today I started a Fasting Cleanse (5 day). I tried this once before and only made it a day. I am already hungry, but how hard can 5 days be? I am not supposed to workout while doing it, but I may go to the gym after work anyway…
