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) [...]

Are You Ripped Yet?

That’s the comment I get just about daily these days since all my friends know I’m doing P90X and the 12 Week Body Challenge. Most see my daily updates on Twitter or Facebook letting them know I’ve finished a spin workout or plyometrics or met a goal on Gyminee. I’ve even posted a video here [...]

Down 5lbs Officially

Finally. When I started this renewed journey on January 1st, 2009 I weighed 146, the most I’ve ever weighed. The next day I weighted 145 which was more or less where I’d been for the past month, so technically I started the journey with that number. I didn’t want to admit I’d made it over [...]

What Are You Willing to Give Up?

Tequila Sunrise

Me? I gave up alcohol, dairy and eating stuff that is white. Sounds funny, but white stuff is bad for you. Rice, white bread, flour, sugar are all bad and can cause you to gain weight. And alcohol is a [...]

Having a Look at the Calories

Here is a look at my calorie intake for the 11 weeks of the 12 Week Body Challenge. Click the photo to enlarge. The green line is my target at 1800 calories and the yellow line is my weight progress. I was really consistent there for a few weeks, but lately it has been up [...]

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 [...]

Week 8 Progress: Took a Break from Posting

I’ve been busy trying to catch up after my vacation to the Cape, so I haven’t posted this week. That doesn’t mean I didn’t do anything though. This week I did spins on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. That was pretty much it though. No runs, swims, or weight workouts. I can’t remember what my fourth [...]

Week 7 Progress Report

It has been 7 weeks and I still haven’t lost any weight: 136.2. Actually it’s probably good that I haven’t gained any weight. I just haven’t been able to coax my body into letting go of those last 10 lbs. I am getting in pretty good shape though. My next triathlon might actually be pleasant. [...]

Week 4 Progress Report

One month down, and only 2 months left. For me, that means now I have to try to lose more than 1 lb a week since I’ve lost none thus far, although I’m really getting in pretty good shape. On my long ride yesterday, I was able to shave 11 minutes off my time for [...]

Week 3 Progress Report

Week 3 is in the books so to speak. I can’t say that it was a grand success. It was great up until Friday, and even Friday was an ordinary OFF day with no major cheats in the diet. But the weekend was a disaster. I’m over it now though. Moving on.

I weigh the same: [...]
