Day 44 - September 22, 2009 - 230 lbs.

Day 42 - September 20, 2009 - 232 lbs.

Had one of the best workouts today since I started this whole thing back in August. I did some intense chest exercises. I was visiting a friend in another town and was able to work out in his gym for the day. I took advantage of it and really pushed myself.
Tomorrow starts week 6, so [...]

Day 37 - September 15, 2009 - 234 lbs.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed at the weight loss progress in the past 8 days.  It has virtually come to a stand-still.  I cheated quite a bit last week and I believe my body went into “survival” mode and stored a lot of the non-healthy and fatty stuff I ate, contributing [...]

Day 36 - September 14, 2009 - 235 lbs.

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.
Today’s Diet:
Breakfast - Almonds [...]

Day 33 Meltdown! - September 11, 2009 - 238 lbs.

Ok, major meltdown today.  I caved in for the first time since the diet began.  I had 4 beers (Miller Lite) and a bunch of Jalepeno Poppers, along with 2 slices of Pizza.  I had a VERY bad day today related to work and resorted to an emotional eating binge.  This was on top of a high-calorie [...]

Day 24 - September 2, 2009 - 241 lbs.

Good day today.  I ate a little more than I wanted to but I worked out extra hard in the evening to try and burn it all off.  Hopefully, I will be in the 230s in a day or two.

Breakfast - Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal with Fat Free Milk

Day 23 - September 1, 2009 - 242 lbs.

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 [...]

I was feeling fat today, but ironically, today’s weigh in indicated that I’m the lightest I’ve been since I’ve started this 12 week challenge.
I have more energy today than I did yesterday and was able to get a decent work out in this morning. Each day becomes easier and easier and this diet has now [...]
