Happy New Year…….. 324.5

First off, I hope everyone had a safe and joyous New Year celebration. With the new year, comes new hopes and expectations, as well as goals….

Yep, the numbers don’t lie!! I just let go and fell into the holiday trap.  No excuses and no sympathy needed. It is what it is.  It’s time for tough [...]

Weigh-in Monday +.8 (319.8)

8/10th of a pound is still a gain. Whatever, I still have another week to reach my months goal of a 5-10 lb loss. i’m already close to the 5lb loss, but closer to the 10 lb is attainable. I’ll be happier than a mugg to get 2009 outta here! They’re killin’ me with the [...]

Belated Monday weigh-in (-1) 319lbs

I oughta rename myself “Yobigslacker” ’cause I didn’t hit none of my goals for this week. I did lose a pound, but I didn’t follow up on the important stuff such as;
Goal for this coming week              failed

3 sets of Suicides x 3 days this week
3 sets of leg carryovers and crossovers x 3 days this [...]

Yo, yo, yo, where did it go???

Alright, maybe that’s overdoing it a bit, but yeah, so what? I got a reason to be happy. Maybe I’ve finally found the blueprint. I can’t take all the credit, ’cause my fellow bloggers helped in the process. My wife also gets honorable mention, ’cause she’s been by my side hitting the gym also.  Randi’s [...]

On the right track

So far, the week has been going good, I’ve been hitting the gym and feeling good about my workouts. I’m still going through the “sore” phase after doing mostly cardio. Those old  high school “football” knee injuries come to surface every now and then, but I’m getting used to working through them.

I basically just [...]

I accept your Challenge…… (324lbs)

Okay, Since I have yet to committ to any type of short term goals, I’ve decided to accept Randi’s December Challenge. Since my previous debacle (Pecan pie) and the wonderful support by my fellow bloggers and guests, it’s time to move forward and chip away at these pounds.  I’m excited and anxious to get started. [...]

I can’t believe I ate the whole thing…… (0) 324lbs

Yeah, that’s the face of frustration and disappointment…
The day before Thanksgiving I worked out extra hard. I anticipated the traditional over indulgence that’s associated with the day and since the gym is closed on Thanksgiving, I would allow myself some of the guilty pleasures that my wife brought home. Mainly my favorite, Pecan Pie. I’m [...]

Weighing heavy on my mind….

It’s been said that men  will not ask for directions nor ask for help…
I don’t know who said it, but that’s what I’ve been told by women over my lifetime.  So, I’m in the gym yesterday and I’m doing my usual treadmill thing. After 30 minutes I got bored and hopped off. While approaching the stairs [...]

The Gym is my friend… -1 (324lbs)

Going to the gym is becoming less of an chore and more of a desire.  I took off yesterday and didn’t feel good about it, but I needed to let my body adjust to being pushed. My body is still sore, but I’d been hitting the gym regularly and working up a good sweat with a weight [...]

The weight is over!! -4 (325lbs)

I can’t believe I’ve been slacking this long. Three months since my last post and I’m amazed that I didn’t gain, but somehow lost 4 pounds. I’ve come to this page many times in the last few months, but couldn’t write, because I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to do. I lost focus and [...]
