Day 7 pain, cake, sweat

Day 7 of workouts. I'm feeling sore and tired!

Last night I did 8 sets of 80 jump rope reps.

640 jumps total.

I also did 4 sets of 10:

Shoulder press
Flys
Upright rows
Curls

Also I went to a Christmas party with snacks and a bunch of good stuff.

I ate pretty well for most of the day.

But at the dinner things went downhill.

I had chicken wings, one slice of cake and a slice of pizza. Mac and cheese and some deviled eggs.

But I still got my workout in. Back to eating clean. No sweets not a lot of carbs is what I want to do.

I'm hoping to lose weight by tomorrow. But I don't think I will be below 224. I guess I will find out tomorrow.

Military Diet Day 1

Today I decided to start he military diet. I have done it before earlier in the year. Basically the diet is a low calorie diet that is to be followed for 3 days.

Today this is what I ate.

Breakfast
1 wheat toast with peanut butter
Black coffee

Lunch
1 wheat toast with a can of tuna
Black coffee

Dinner

1 banana
2 ground turkey Patty's
1 small apple
2 cups of vanilla ice cream

I was only supposed to have about 3 oz of meat but I probably had 8.

The diet was hard but not unbearable. Worst part was drinking black coffee. It was just so bitter!!

I'm hoping this will kickstart a drop in lbs.

Also I did a dumbbell workout

4 sets of 10 reps:

Shoulder press
Up right row
Flys
Curls

I will weigh in tomorrow morning and then again on Friday morning.

Goodnight

Heavy arms

10 curls

I weighed in at 229.7 yesterday.

I'm not really feeling motivated.

But I made a deal with a Friend. If I lose 1 lbs by Friday. He has to watch a full episode of Golden Girls. Haha!!!

Marriage retreat 2017

I have been married for 13 years. Today we are at a marriage retreat in la Jolla San Diego area. I have learned that no matter how long we have been married we can always learn. Also as individuals we are going to change. So without consistent communication you can lose touch of what you thought your spouse was like. So far it's been very encouraging and great to get quality time with my wife. The kids are back home. 😀

Life is too short to stay bitter. Let it go and forgive.

Feeling chubby

So on September 1 of this yesterday I weighed 205. Today I weigh 220. Gained 15 lbs in about 67 days. I'm not surprised. I started eating more junk food like fast food and working out less and eating .ore sweets. Halloween!!! And it doesn't help that my kids got a bunch of good candy this year. Very unmotivated right now. Gotta get back on track.

A new day...

Let me share what's been going on since Jan of this year.

In April I joined a weight loss competition. We had 5 guys including myself. I started out at 245!!! First weigh in was end of April. We weighed in at the end of June. I came it To 211.

I won!!!

This is enough for now. More to come later.

I'm back again...

Hello there. I'm back, let's see for how long this time. :) I'm in need for an overhaul. I haven't ran consistently or worked out much. At the beginning of Jan 2017 I was weighing 238lbs!! Today I was about 235. Today I did 16 push-ups and about 5 minute of jumproped for about 5 minutes. #backtothegrind, #dontstop, #itsnottoolate CW
