I really need to stay on top of this thing. Couple of items of note. Last week I hit the 100 lbs lost mark:thumbup:. Truly a great accomplishment for me. I still can't believe it. I see my reflection in glass when I am walking around, and I think I am still almost 380 lbs. Not anymore though.   Ok, I finished off my 2nd cycle of the 6 wk cycle (2 3 wk cycles w/i) last week. Did real good. So, this week is a non lifting week, only cardio.   Tomorrow, I am going to go into the gym and

Been a couple of days since I last posted on here. Been keeping up with my cardio and lifting. Problem was, I had my guys weekend with some guys from church this past weekend. While I didn't drink very much, I still had some and ate like crap. Been a little tired this week from as a consequence I think. Oh well, no sense beating myself up over it.   So, Monday, Tues and today, I did 65 minutes of cardio each day on the elliptical machines at the gym. Interval training. Been burning almo

Another weekend down. I overdid it, apparently, on Friday on the treadmill. Later in the day my shin below my boot line really started to hurt. The bone, not just the muscle. Hurts to touch.   However, I was able to get my upper body workout in on Friday night and toughed through my lower body workout Saturday morning. Did 100 minutes on Saturday and Sunday for cardio. 50 each on treadmill and elyptical.   Another 65 this morning on elyptical. I've rediscovered interval training dur

Another 65 minutes on the treadmill this morning. I changed it up a bit as I started off running 1.25 miles @ 6 mph w/no incline. I have to run a mile in 9:56 next Wed to for the SWAT team tryouts, so I wanted to make sure it was doable. Then, I added the extra 1/4 mile because if I make it back on, I will have to go to a SWAT school to become recertified and that will include a 5 mile run. I want to be able to work up to 5 miles over the next couple of months.   Anyway, after the 1.25 mil

Ok, took last night off from lifting. Same tonight. Trying something new on the split for days to try to accomodate DW getting to the gym at night.   So, another 65 minutes of cardio this morning on treadmill. So I can remember later, I set the speed at 4.0 mph and start off on a 2 % incline. At 20 minutes in, I raise the platform to 3 % incline. At 48 minutes in, up it to 4 % incline. Then, at 58 minutes in, up to 5 % incline.   After 60 minutes, the treadmill goes into "cooldown"

Ok, last night went back in for upper body circuits.

Had some difficulty, no biggie just seemed a little too much effort, with some of the exercises due to my week off for recuperating. Should get better by next week.   Cardio this morning

Been awhile

Ok, been a few days since my last entry. Took last week off from lifting. Concentrated on cardio only. Ended up doing approx. 650 minutes on the treadmill from Jan. 21-26. Lot of time on there and it proved to be a killer over the weekend. Completely wiped me out even though I still got in 240 on Sat and Sun. Oh well, now I know I have some limitations.   Hit the gym @ 0500 this morning for 50 minutes on the treadmill. Back around 1715 to start my next cycle of lower body workout. Tomo

Ok, so as I sat at work yesterday, I was trying to figure out how to get more cardio in at the gym. Can't do any longer on days I have to catch the bus in dt mpls for work and have to get home after lifting to have dinner with the family in the evenings. Don't feel up to doing treadmill at home at night. Too tired by then. So, solution, get up earlier in the morning and do 1/2 hr on treadmill at home before hitting gym at 5 am.   So, 4 am is announced by the alarm, up I get and down to the

After speaking with him about it, I decided it was what I wanted. This was a huge step for me as I had not been kind when he had his done. I thought he had tak
