Finally, in the 220s!  Only 19 pounds left until goal.  When I started this diet, I thought 53 pounds was very aggressive, and some of my family members thought that was too much weight to lose in only 12 weeks.  However, after looking at myself in my gut area, I think there is still plenty [...]

Another excellent day, both with my diet and exercise. I am really getting some stamina, particularly on the elliptical machine. I have upped my time to 40 minutes and slowly work my way up the the strongest resistance throughout the workout.
Looking forward to getting in the 220’s. It’s close! Also, I’m not sure what happened [...]

No photo for the second time in four days.  I promise I will be more consistent in posting my daily pics — today was a little tough as my schedule did not permit. 
On a positive note, I had a really super-intense workout today and was able to burn quite a few calories.

Pretty weak workout today.  Went early this morning, which I think was too soon from last night’s workout.  I don’t think my body adequately recovered from yesterday.  As a result, I took it pretty easy in the gym.  Between my sunburn and my fatigue from last night, I didn’t have much energy today.

Breakfast - [...]

Good day today.  Spend most of the day at the beach and got a real nasty sunburn on my back.  When I went into the sauna this evening, it felt like you could have fried an egg on my back.  Shouldn’t affect my routine this week.
Looking forward to getting into week 5.  I am 1/3 [...]

In the 230s!  Now for the bad news….I didn’t work out for the second day in a row….my physique is lacking definition, especially in the chest area.  During the 2nd month of this journey, I will be doing more weight training to try and remedy this.  Not much else to talk about.  Until tomorrow.,,

Was working all day long today and did not get a chance to get in the gym.  Nothing new to report today other than the fact that I was hungrier than normal today.  Not sure what that was about, but I hope it is not something that continues.  I’m pretty sure I’ll be in the [...]

I made it to a new month! Best of all, the disastrous day I had yesterday is long gone and I was able to get back on track today. My workout was great and I ate very clean today. I am confident tomorrow’s weight will be a pound or two less than today’s, putting me [...]
