The Day The Music Died

Somehow, despite the fact that I’ve been eating well and exercising, my weight has  jumped UP by SIX POUNDS.  I’m hoping that this is just “water weight” or something weird like that.  I’m not… going… to… freak… out…!

Go Ahead And Laugh… It’s O.K.

The following is a guest post. I mentioned (in yesterday’s post) that the “L-Train” might write a post about our workout. And, you can go ahead and laugh. It’s o.k.

Yesterday I had a great workout with NCN–interesting, but good. We worked out for nearly 3hrs. It was quite an entertaining workout. We worked out legs and a little shoulders and abs. We were on the upright bench, and I was doing my set. I ask him to put a “quarter” on, and he started running out. I hollered, “where are you going?” He said that he didn’t have any “change on him”. OK, so I’m exaggerating a little, but not much. It really didn’t seem like 3hrs because I had such a good time. I could hardly workout, I was laughing so much. When we got finished with the workout, we hit the treadmill. I don’t know if he was just so tired, but NCN nearly fell on the treadmill. It was so funny. He started frantically grasping for the rails. You could see the fear in his eyes. He made a quick and impressive recovery though. I told him not to worry; the people outside and in the other section of the gym didn’t even see him. Honestly though, we had a great workout and a great time.

I’ve just got a few comments to make about this “guest post”. First, I had no IDEA what a “quarter” was. I learned that a “quarter” is a 25 Pound weight. As for almost falling off of the treadmill, I was mearly demonstrating treadmill safety (and how to recover from a nearly catastrophic fall…).

Squats, Shoulders, Advil

Wow.  A friend of mine (I’ll call him “L-Train” because that’s a dorky sounding nickname…) met me at the gym today for a workout.  Three hours later, I made my way slowly to my car, drenched in sweat, a weary (but not broken) man.  Okay, maybe it wasn’t THAT dramatic, but I was tired nonetheless.  (It took three hours because he was showing me some techniques and we spent some time talking.)  Hopefully the “L-Train” will write a post for me tomorrow and let you guys in on how weak I am. :)   I had a weigh in today.  Good news, I’m down half a pound.  I weigh 230 pounds.  That’s 17 pounds lost!  I rock (softly…)!

Not Exactly A Freefall, But…

I lost half of a pound!  230.5.  Finally, the scaled moved.  I should never have been so focused on the scale to begin with, but after losing so much weight is such short period of time, I was getting a little desparate to see the needle move.  So, even though it’s “only” half a pound, it’s HALF A POUND!!!

I’ve been working out 4 or 5 days a week.

30 minutes of cardio plus a focused workout.  (I’m loving the eliptical!)

I wore a sport coat Sunday morning and it not only fit me, it was a tad too big!  Yes!

Thanks for all of the support and comments.

Here’s my newest chart:
