7.2 Lbs Lost Since Last Official Weigh-In


7.2 lbs Lost since last weigh-in

It’s that time again! Yep, my official weekly weigh-in. Guess what folks? I lost 7.2 lbs since my last official weigh-in. At that time I clocked in at 314 lbs, this morning I was at 306.8 lbs. I finally passed my goal of 5 lbs. lost. I am on track to be under 300 lbs for the first time in a very, very long time. It’s one of my mini-goals. Here is the my current weight loss chart. I am also back to my lowest weight of 303.6 lbs in December of 2007.

Workout-wise I still have the same uplifted, powering tempo when I lift, run and bike. I tend to want more, but I know when enough is enough. Sometimes you need to tell yourself to stop so that your body can be able to do it again the next day. Today I was able to crank more reps out easier than I have been able to in the past. I am feeling stronger, which is good. I like lifting heavy enough to go to 8 to 10 reps. Anything above that is too light. I should be able to add some more weight to my lifts next week.

Calorie-wise I am consuming from 1200 to 1500 calories a day. It depends on if it’s a lift day or a cardio day. I get the majority of my calories from protein. I keep it low carb and fat for now. I don’t plan to do this for the rest of my life, only until I reach my ideal weight and sculpt. Once I do that, I am thinking of just eating a certain amount of calories per day (from 1500 to 2000), without focusing too much on where they come from (I may change my mind on this in the future). I can read my body pretty well and I know when it’s telling me things. Does that make any sense to you, it does to me?

I weighed myself on Monday after my first cleanse day on the 30 day program and was 311 lbs. Since starting my cleanse program I have lost 7.2 lbs. I am looking forward to the rest of the program. I am feeling really good during the day, full of energy before, during and after my workouts. All good news so far. I try to get in morning workouts, but when I don’t I make up for it in the afternoon. I am also doing two workouts a day about 3 days a week. Normally I would feel burnt out by 7 PM, but I haven’t been feeling like that lately.

Something cool that I plan on doing is training on the weekends with my cousin. He is planning on joining the Marine Corps. He is a totally out of shape skinny, flabby guy. I am looking forward to posting progress photos as I train him in the core Marine exercises.

  8. Great job buddy, carry on….

  9. Very good. You should go on with your schedule but always keep in mind how much your body can bear because beyond that you will hurt your body and not lose weight. Hope many people who looking forward to lose weight get motivation from you.

    I love Isagenix it works and is good for the body. The toxins we take in on a daily basis can only be removed by the good cleansing regimen that Isagenix provides
