Day 29: Monday, June 24, 2K13
I had a very nice weekend(SUNDAY). Spent Sunday
afternoon hiking through Emerson Point Preserve,
located in Palmetto, Florida. It was very nice!!!
Wishing everyone a happy WORK WEEK ahead!!!
Now on to some "Not So Good News". After everything
that I had ACCOMPLISHED last week, I lost "0" lbs.
ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH!!!! I don't know if that is good or
bad. I think it might depend on how you look at the
glass. I would be lying if I were to say I was not
disappointed.
It could be a number of reasons why:
1. I performed my cardio intensity to high/low?
2. I didn't drink enough waster?
3. I did/didn't eat enough food?
or
4. After losing weight 4 weeks in a row my body
is trying to acclimate before losing anymore?
I do feel very good. I feel good AEROBICALLY. I
feel good PHYSICALLY/MENTALLY. I have energy ALL DAY LONG.
I am a HELLUVA lot more active than I was 30 days ago.
So maybe, I should concentrate on the NEWFOUND
'WELL-BEING' I am experiencing.
Anyways, I started this JOURNEY on the 27th of May.
I will be recording/photographing my progress Thursday,
June 27th. I will be changing my weekly weigh-ins
from Mondays to Saturdays starting Saturday, June
29th. I have not had any cheat foods/meals since
I started almost 30 days ago. If by chance, I am
able to record some weightloss by Saturday AM, I will
have a cheat meal Saturday night. If not, then I
will wait another 30 days before considering one, again.
Up next, CARDIO PM.....

Happy Saturday!!!!!
Last Saturday of the month; and first Saturday 'weigh-in'
and measurements. My progress for the past 34 days have been
very positive. I have lost approximately 25lbs & 3 inches
around my waist while maintaining arm, chest quad, and calf girth.
363LBS
I will be changing and recording certain aspects i would
like to accomplish throughout the month of July.
- Drink at least 1 gallon H20 / day
- 1 tsp of cayenne pepper / day
- 2 TBS of ACV / day
- 3g of Fish Oil / day
- 2.6g of EPO / day
- 3g Vit C / day
- 1 tsp Sea Salt / day (stimulate adrenals)
I will start a proper weightlifting program, a beginner
calisthenics program, as well as changing the mode of cardio
I will be performing.
My aerobic capacity has increased dramatically the last month.
Instead of continuing on the elliptical trainer for my
long duration cardio, I would like to challenge myself
by walking on treadmill at a 15% incline maintaining 60%
VO2MAX. I will add (2) HIT cardio sessions / week on the
elliptical. If I don't see results this month with the change
in cardio I will change back.
To celebrate this change in cardio:
40 MIN INCLINE(C) 15% 1.5SPD / 138-152 MHR / 410 CALS / 1.12 MILES
HAPPY WEEKEND TO ALL!!!!

HAPPY JULY!!!!!!
Great month ahead!!!
I have alot of personal GOALS I want to obtain.
Saturday night's cheat meal was awesome. I had the
spicy habanero sirloin with extra bleu cheese and parm-
esan crust. I had a baked potato with extra butter, a
sweet potato with extra butter, a parmesan ranch and
butter flavored corn on the cobb, and parmesan crusted
asparagus. For desert, a caramel apple goldrush. What
a wonderful dinner to close out the month of June. By
the end of the day Sunday(night) around 11PM I weighed
in at 361.5lbs. A difference of 1.5lbs fromthe previous
day. AWESOME!!!!
This month I will be starting a more regimented weight-
lifting routine. I am going to ACCLIMATE my body to the
routine; and each month I will add a new facet of health/
fitness.

PM Cardio:
Today was challenging. I started my incline treadmill cardio
routine. For whatever the reason, my HR spiked to 155 before the
30 min mark. I was definitely breathing heavy and I did start to
cramp in the abdominals. So I broke the 60 min cardio into
(2) 30 min sessions seperated by a 5 min rest between. Funny,
the (2) 30 min session was definitely better. Maybe it was
from the cheat meal Saturday night, the workout this morning,
or taking Sunday, or maybe a combination of all (3).
30 MIN INCLINE / 15% / 1.8SPD / 316 CALS / 0.92 MILES / 155 MHR
30 MIN INCLINE / 15% / 1.8SPD / 353 CALS / 1.00 MILES / 163 MHR
(The (2) 30 minute session I did cheat(by holding the handrails)
to get a better control of my HR and then I did start to increase
the speed incrementally to 1) catch my breath and 2) to learn to
feel ho fast my legs will be moving at 3.0 mph at a 15% incline.)
I will DEFINITELY catch the elusive "60" t-row.

Day 37: Tuesday, July 2, 2K13
Last night after I got home and finished all my
chores before the end of my day, my fiance and I
fell asleep watching TV. I woke and sent her up-
stairs to be while I made sure the house was LOCKED
down and I poured myself (2) litres of water. As I
was heading upstairs I slipped and twisted my left
ankle. Talk about WAKING UP FAST!!!! It is bothersome
to walk; so today I went to WALMART to purchase an ankle
brace. Unfortunately, I will not be performing the in-
cline treadmill walk, and I will return to the elliptical
machine for my fatloss program. This SUCKS!!! I will
work around the injury until I can manage to flex my
foot without any type of pain. Hopefully it isn't bad
soft tissue damage.

Happy Tuesday!!!
Chipped of a piece of my front tooth working out, today.
Went to the dentist office and was lucky to only have a
fill. Needless to say I was a little "DEVASTATED" when
it happened. I will tell you I was a little overzealous
the workout. I need to work on the 'HERE & NOW' aspect,
instead of shooting off like some firecracker. I need to
RELEARN how to HARNESS my ENERGY.
