Motivation is key. Find what motivates you.

I almost passed out while doing interval bike/weights yesterday.

Course, it was humid as fuck.

Almost isn't good enough. You're not working hard enough.

budda · 07-20-2008, 08:21 PM

i've lost a few pounds since this started.

weighing in between 207 and 206 this past week!

gonna see if i cant figure out how to use the rowing machine at mom's work (its not the one im used to, so i hate it - go figure!)

i'm on the ride-on this week, which is why i need to get exercise elsewhere.

and im trying to start a pushups regime to get my moobs less saggy and up to where they should be lol.

I'm just coming off a week's vacation where I spent most of it playing host, so I didn't get in as much exercise as I wanted and additionally I ate out a lot more than normal.

That said, I dropped my analogue scale in favor of a digital one so I could track my progress a little more accurately - the old one I had to guestimate within a 2-3 pound range; the new one is accurate to one decimal place. So, since my job has turned me into a fiend about precision and accurate measurements, I'm keeping a weight log in Excel and posting daily measurements every morning so I can graph out my progress.

I'm such a tool...

anyway, as of this morning, 193.8. I've definitely put on a little bit of extra chest muscle from the pushups, though.

DelfinoPie · 07-21-2008, 06:17 PM

No progress here

Actually got called fat yesterday whilst at the pub which was a nice little self-esteem knocker.

TomAwesome · 07-24-2008, 09:03 PM

I've only gotten back to exercising the last few days, but I've lost some weight working on the computer and eating Ben & Jerry's (I know, I know, bad... but have you ever tasted Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream? Freakin' damn, it's irrisistable!)!

At first I figured that I was still getting fat and just losing muscle instead, but judging by how I look right now and how able bodied I was today in cleaning up the huge mess Dolly left everywhere (I was even climbing trees and swinging on half-fallen branches like vines to get them the rest of the way down), I think most of the 5 pounds I lost actually came from my gut. It's not a huge difference, but 215 sounds so much better in my head than 220.

I snapped a spoke on my bike yesterday whilst on a rather off road cycle thus buckling my wheel, oops!

I also think I need to cut back on the ol' drinking, I eat alot of crap whilst drunk

kmanick · 07-27-2008, 04:41 PM

I ws actually up to 218 in June. (36 inch waist)
down to 210 yesterday, I've been training for a "Sprint" a
mini triathalon since June 30th, but still lifting as heavy as I can.
The inches are starting to drop off around the waist line.

and my weights are going back up in the gym.

Target goal by August 24'th is 200 pounds and a 32 inch waist.
At a 34 now at 210, I should be able to do it.

That's an issue for me, too, though for a while now I've been able to demonstrate will power against getting fast food or other junk food when I've been drinking.
