Tightrope!

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.

I can’t believe it’s been about 15 days since my last post and I am sorry.  But here I am with so much going on doing a check in.  I wrote last time about being compliant and how it was important to the over all program.  That’s been the hardest thing because you don’t really get a cheat anything.  It’s cut and dry, you either were compliant and followed the food you were supposed to eat or you didn’t. So it sucks because I nailed it one week and the scale didn’t move.  Then I was a little discouraged the following week and had to click “Non Compliant” and boom, I am down 6 pounds.  Now being non compliant doesn’t mean I was a pig.  It means that yesterday I just didn’t get enough food in me.  I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t eat that much.  That’s all really.  But it was still non-compliant for sake of the program.

So let’s discuss and have a formal check in.  Today’s weight was 318.3.  Last weeks was 324.4 – So I am down 6.1 pounds since last week and officially under 320.  My next goal is 8 pounds and getting under 310.

If you have been reading here for awhile.  When I starting this blog it was to lose 100lbs.  The starting weight was 411.7 – So I hit the 10 pounds loss marker and got under 300 for a little while but little by little my weight had creeped back to 340’s this past holiday season.  And here I am.

I am down 8-10lbs and 3% body fat since I started my new programing and changed my workouts out.  I think body composition is changing for the better too. I know my squats are deeper, legs are getting stronger and I am doing more.  So I’ll be going harder in this direction. I am back in love with training body parts more than anything and glad to have that back in my routine.  I need to extend a few of them in my own time since you can only do so much with the class.  But I am sure the trainer will write something up for me if I ask.  She’s knows her shit.  And has just the perfect amount of understanding for my limitation and BRO to keep pushing me.

I do miss my friends at my other gyms but I am not gone forever…  I will come visit.  I am just doing my thing right now.

I kinda feel like we’ve all been there done that with me here.  I am finding ways to enjoy life.  I want to travel a little this year.  I really want to go back to Universal.  That Mummy ride and I have some unfinished business to take care of.  I am the jack ass that will spend another $2,000 to go on a ride I chickened out on and now regret it.  I am going to see a few more concerts this summer…  Counting Crows and Matchbox Twenty, The Killers and Bleachers, The Hooters, Third Eye Blind…

I went to see Garth Brooks this week and he was just so damn awesome.  I can’t believe it was 19 years since he was last in Philly and pure gold.

Here is a little video that I took.

So I am gonna sign off here.  Thank you for reading and being a part of my team.  It’s been over 3 years and the website still sees about 100 people stopping in a day and that’s not so bad when I don’t really promote it.  It’s not for everyone and I never wanted it to be.

I’ll check in next week.
