Blog Update number 3!

Was a week of a lot of ups and downs, still adjusting to the diets and getting back into the routine of the gym after work. Most mornings I'm up at 4:30 am, and at work by 6am, so by the time I finish at 3pm being motivated is hard.

Feel like I stepped up my intensity at the gym this week and my body is very sore from that, but, it’s a good sore.  Very sluggish at times, but finding tea and black coffee are helping with that lol. Overall much more energy especially in the mornings and still feeling very motivated.

 The weather around here lately has been putting me into spring mode, and I’m craving the outdoors more and more. Cannot wait for regular pupper walks at the off leash dog park in the near future.

 BIG things are coming in the next couple and cannot wait to show everyone.

Week Two update!

Week two in the books!

It was a very good week, felt very productive and did a lot of work around the house (painting and carpet cleaning)

The weekend got a little off track food wise, some cheating, but kept all my options as healthy as possible and kept as active as possible.

Had a cigarette and felt pretty bummed with myself for giving into temptation, but got right back on the horse and haven’t had a smoke in a few days.

The weigh in was a pleasant surprise as I was expecting the worst when I stepped on the scale.

This weeks food menu is the following

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Breakfast - Eggs, oatmeal

Snack - Celery

Lunch - Two cups Chili

Snack (pre workout) - Greek yogurt and fruit

Dinner - Two cups Chili

 Starting weight - 286.6
Current weight - 274.6
Weight loss this week - 3.6 pounds

First weigh in was.......shocking :)

Weekly update (February 6th)

Week one is officially in the books.  Stepped on the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised :)

Wasn't easy, tons of temptations both with food, and smokes but I feel as though I made a lot of progress and caught my stride towards the end of the week.  Had myself an afternoon and evening of cheating Saturday as I attended a scotch tasting with my brother and dad at a local restaurant which lead to bad food and a few smokes that evening.  Happy to say I ditched the pack the next morning and have been perfect since.  Apart from that I felt a ton of more energy, felt motivated every day and full/satisfied with my prepared meals.  Just finished cooking up the food for the next 6 days.  Had a buddy of mine create a workout program for me at the gym and want to get that started next week, I feel more confident doing an overall body regiment for the time being.

First weigh in - 286.6 pounds
Current weight - 278.2 (8.6 lost this week)
Pounds lost to date - 8.6
Goal weight - 215
