Why Havent You Updated???

Well, thank you for asking kind followers! I have NOT fallen off of the bandwagon.

However; I have been sick for a few days and was unable to hit the gym. Yesterday I went back to the gym and had trouble doing my post workout cardio, congestion and stuff doesnt help.

Euther way Im back on full force starting today. Going grocery shopping this evening or tomorrow and cooking the meals up with Mandy (the girl whom I am training)

Im not going to lie, out of the 15 days in June so far, I missed 5 of them in the gym, and was strict on my diet 0 of them. (Although I didnt splurge and eat a bunch of trash), so when I got on the scale yesterday I was scared for my life.

And it was 289.3

So While I havent lost alot, I have gained none, and still come down in the 2 weeks since last weigh in. Im not satisfied with these results, and even madder at myself. Being sick was sooo horrible, and I hate that it happened when it did.

2 weeks left in this month. Can I get down to 270? Doubtful, but Im going to try my hardest. I think I will be satisfied if I can get to 280, that will leave 10lbs to lose in July to fulfill my 12 month goal of 100 pounds.

And to those who have asked: Im saving my measuring for the 1st of July. I keep putting it off, but I will for sure get it done then.

Thanks for following, I will go through comments and comment back on blogs and what not soon!

***Edit*** Also I forgot to add that I moved during this time too at the end of last month beggining of this: So thats also been puting a hamper on me ****

Can You Say 1XL? I Know I can!



For the first time since Sophomore Year of highschool, I am wearing a 1x. I cant say that Im sad about it :) Mandy, the girl ive been training is doing well as well, and this friday we are FINALLY going grocery shopping so she can get super strict and do my diet plan completely. Its been awesome seeing her order water instead of soda, or coffee with sweet n low/splenda versus sugar. Or unsweet tea vs sweet tea. Its funny, on one of her profiles, under 6 things she couldnt live without, one of them is definitely 'Sweet Tea".


And here she is, living without it! Its amazing to see what we can live without, when we take a step to get rid of it!


Ive been thinking alot lately, about wether I will ever drink sodas again at all. Like, will I even like them? Obviously they were a huge portion of my weight gain through the years, and I will never want to be big again once Im smaller. But will I ever be able to drink them again? Or Will i want to?


Either way it doesnt really matter, Only got 2-3 weeks left of Circut Training before we switch it up again, Not to sure what we are switching to yet, but im sure it will be uber challenging.


On a side note, yesterday, for the firsty time, I did 60 min straight cardio. This was after Ripping my abs and slaying my chest. I felt good, to say the least.


Whats even cooler is I have always been a very confident person, very self aware, and very outgoing. But it seems that my confidence level is rising even more, or maybe its just becomming more natural confidence, versus forced confidence. Either way, people are taking notice.


Today for example, two girls whom i havent seen in a while walked right past me. I turned and yelled at them, and they turned back and went OMG Freeze.. you look like a different person, ect. I wouldnt go THAT far yet, in saying i look like a different person, but different none the less.


Anyways, continuing to push and push and keep going. 270 is right around the corner, and the lower 200s are around the bend after. So lets keep pushing!


Always Remember

Motivation

Education

Determination

Vissualization

TRANSFORMATION!

June 1st. Weigh in check. Measure, not yet. GOALS!!



Ok so I weighed in at 291.4 this morning. I wanted to be at 290, but then again i had clothes on and had eaten last night pretty late, so i like to think i am in the 290 and some ounces range.


Either way, on May 1st i was 304, now right at 291, so thats 13lbs lost in May, and I wasnt as strict on my diet due to some financial stuff and moving and what nots. But Everything should be back on track diet wise after I hit the grocery store today.


Also been working on that tan, so im pretty excited about that as well. The girl im training is making remarkable progress too! Shes really motivated, and that motivates me more. Now im going for 45 or more minutes in cardio, after abs and after weights. So im pushing harder for sure, and so is she!


Anyways, I think I can reasonably set a goal at 270 for the end of this month, which would mean 21lbs, and a total loss of 100!!! If I can do it by the end of this month I will have done it in 11 months instead of a year! Pretty stoaked to say the least.


At 270 ill be 100 lbs lighter than when i started, so I will be getting my new tattoo as a reward, as well as pushing even further. I plan on losing another 50 or so after that, down to 220 or so. Then I will begin phasing bulk/cutting and get a amature body build going!


Anyways

Until next time,

PS( I'll measure later and post results!)

Whats New?

Well training subject "M" has been going really well! Shes sticking to her diet, quit soda, and working out every day! She will slowly start to realize these results, and will surely be happy she stuck with it.

On a side not I went out to the club with the guys Thursday for the first time in some time.. And I have to say it was awesome. People who have known me or know me were coming up making comments ALLL night. It was nice to get that attention for sure!
Here is me at the club the other night. I see this picture and cant believe how big i USED TO BE!!!

Its amazing, and I hope you as a reader are inspired to go forth on your own weight loss journey!

Workout wise, Circut training has been going really well. I just get frustrated when SOOOO many people are in the gym, and they keep jumping onto machines without first checking to see if someone is using them. For example I do 3 different excersises per Circut set... and its happened alot where someone will take one of the machines im using while im in the middle of it. Which wouldnt be a problem, except that with Circut training, you arent supposed to stop... at all.

Anywhoo.. I have to bust my ass hard for the next 7-8 days before weigh in and measure on the 1st. On top of that June 4th, My bestie and I are going to a Boat party on a lake for our friends birthday, so Ima need to get down another 10 lbs or so. Although, with the happy highway ive got going on, i think ill be comfortable without a shirt as it is. Maybe get a small tan going first lol.

Anyways until next time

Happy Highways and No GoodBye Ways!

So this week a new person has asked me to help them get to their weighloss goals! I offered to train her as well. Tonight we set up her diet and we worked out today too. Which is pretty cool. To keep her anonymous I will not post her name or pre pictures that we took, but lets just say I have a good feeling that she is Motivated enough to do this!

Here is a side comparison of the progress of me so far:


And here is a front!

Im finally starting to SEE the changes myself! YAY

Anyways, big week coming up. Trying to get to that 270 ASAP so I can be 100lbs lighter than when I started, and be able to get my Tattoo as a reward! :)

Until next time

May Update!

Sorry I didnt update on the 1st or since then, been terribly busy with everything.

So I got on the scale on the 1st and was at 304.4lbs. I only lost 7 lbs last month, But then again, I had 2 weeks of "cheating" in a sense, to where I wasnt very strict :(

This month changes the game again! Im going to begin weighing in on the 1st and 16th of every month from here on out, and measuring on the first.

By the way, my belly button waist measurement was down to 51. So def still seeing some loss physically as well!

Started "circut training" this week, and its a doozy. I do all the same excersises from before, just break it up into 2 groups of 3.

Then I do each one, 20 reps, no break. Then repeat that 3 times, no break.

For example Chest Day My first 3some was Incline Bench, Regular Bench, Decline Bench.

So I did them in that order, with 20lbs dumbells. 20 Reps inclined, switch right to regular, 20 reps, then switched to decline immidiately for 20 reps. Then repeated without a rest. 3 times. 180 reps in the matter of minutes. Then did the same thing with Cables (upper, mid, lower).

So the total workout only lasts 20 minutes. Then you go straight to cardio.

The reason I do this circut training is to build strength and stamina simultaneously. Im aerobic during my weight workout too, which increases my metabolic rate, thus leading to MORE fat loss, while building strength.

And so Shall see how this goes!

34lbs to go until Im at 100 pounds lost in a year. Ive got May, June, July to do it!

Lets get it done!

Oh Snap! The level has been raised!

With the next weigh in coming on Sunday, and me nervous about it, I had to step my game up.

Honestly, like I said in a previous post, I let myself slip more diet wise this month. But im back on top of the game and ready to get more results. Yesterday and Today I pushed myself harder than I have to date, and I know its going to pay off!

The tape measure, mirror, and scale doesnt lie. Even if one isnt as great as the others, a loss is a loss; so here's to a great weigh in and measure this sunday!

Anyways, this past week ive raised weight on everything towards bigger and better reps.
CHest day raised Incline and regular bench to 30lbs Got more that 30 reps each, but dont remember exact number. Cables went up to 15 on high to low, 10 on mid, 5 on low.
Back day, raised lat pull downs to 70lbs, both inner and outer. Also raised seated rows to 70lbs. And went for 45's on the power strength row machine (45 on each side, i was doing like 25)
Today Leg day: After doing about 300 reps in abs, I hit the leg press for 180 50 times, leg curls were at 40 for 50 reps, calves were at 70 lbs, then I hit the Cybex... intense as hell. 35 min of doing mostly 1 min rest/1 min hard on a 20/40 scale. Raised my hard set to 50 a couple times. But It was intense, i sweated through 2 shirts (like, the whole shirts wet) and got light headed and felt like I was going to puke..

What does that mean? That means my level has been raised, and Im working harder. And I will see better results.
I also have 2 full packs of cigerettes left, after they are gone, im quitting. I will need ALL of the support I can get!

Anyways Until next time
