I Did It! Lost 10% of Body Fat

So my 90 days of P90X and 12 weeks of the Body Challenge ended last week, P90X on Wednesday and Foothills on Saturday. I didn’t win, but I have some good news on my progress to share. I lost 10% of my body fat during the 3 month period of eating healthy (between 1400-1600 calories) [...]

Originally uploaded by dr.coop

Week 8 is in the books, so that means only 4 more weeks to go for the Foothills Revolution Body Challenge. I’m also in the middle of week 10 for P90X. There are 13 weeks total for that, so I should be finishing up around the same time [...]

Are You Ripped Yet?

Lost a Little Love in My Handles

You have to look really closely and then close your eyes tight and dream. Then you’ll see that I’ve lost a wee little bit in the middle love handle area. Now if you open your eyes too soon, you’ll miss it. Be patient. Oh wait. I think the be patient advice was for me. After [...]

Week 11 Progress Report

I changed my profile picture on Traineo today. I guess I was tired of looking at my fat belly on there. For motivation when I started a year ago using Traineo, I uploaded a picture of my belly.
I took this shot a few months after my gynecologist sliced me up to rid me of a [...]

Here is my stat sheet for the first 10 weeks of the challenge. It’s interesting so see the patterns, but more [...]

Week 9 Summary

<—-Sample lunch during the week.
Week 9 was a so-so week. I did much better on my first trip than I did on this one. I didn’t get to do any spins on the trip, but I did one before I left on Monday. On Tuesday I ran, Wednesday I did the elliptical trainer and light [...]
