Weight Loss Journey Week 20 Update

Weight Loss Journey 2013 Week 18 Day 126 RECAP

I am certainly noticing my trend to skip or cut out on some of my workouts. I definitely feel like BURNOUT is starting to creep in. I'm sore and weak more frequently and no desire to train. The other issue is that I am so freaking close to my goal, I have to persevere, my livelihood depends on it. Being able to move and have an additional income to ensure I can reach my financial goals. Today I was not able to do my morning cardio because I was waiting to get my work badge replaced to only find out that that person was not going to be in today. Here are my calories burned throughout the day. I ate terrible crap on my overnight shift so I barely ate Anyang to keep my calorie deficit low. Stay tuned...

I could not help to cheat and see where I was weight wise, so what did I do? I hopped on that bad boy this morning, keep in mind it's Wednesday and my weigh in was this Sunday at 195lbs with a hefty goal this week of getting to 190lbs. See the pic below in this blog to see where I'm at. Today was slow going to day the least. It took me a long while to get my butt up and at em'. This morning I walked almost five miles with my son and mom. Then I didn't head out to the gym until 4:30pm. I did 105 minutes of the elliptical. Breakfast I had a Special K cereal with while milk and a Special K chocolate shake. I'm so weak from yesterday's workouts. Lunch I went in.

Weight Loss Journey 2013 Week 17 Day 120 RECAP

Today I really have to say that I am proud of myself, I did great food wise for the past few days as well as hit my cardio out of the ballpark. I hope that by today I'm am half way to my goal of 190. The only little concern is that I am not consuming ENOUGH calories and my body will store fat instead of release it. I also fine tuned my cardio to make sure my heart rate is on the lower end of endurance to ensure that I am using body fat instead of other substrates like sugar etc. here are pics of my cardios I did throughout the day. #BOOM Stay Tuned....

Saturday was also a tiring day for me. I did alot this week I'm still fatigued and sore. I'm still hoping I make my weight goal Sunday. Today I walked from work and also took my sone for a four mile walk. Here re the stats for my light workout today. Stay tuned.... 

Weight Loss Journey 2013 Week 16 Day 115 RECAP

Today was a rough day. I'm am so fatigued and sore from beasting it the sat few days. I had no time to do cardio this AM my mom had a Dr. appointment so I had to go straight home to my son. I am also on a sleep deficit. So this morning I did  walk to the train this morning that takes a half hour and burns about 200 calories or so. I plan on going food shopping for myself for this week and plan to forge a huge amount of cardio in as well. I do hope I did enough to make my 195 goal. Last night during the overnight I made huge mistakes as  far as calories. I ate 12 golden Oreo cookies and a 12oz can of coke as well as two 8oz cans of Pepsi. That sucked almost 1000 calories from my food and on a 1500 calorie plan stinks. To help offset I had a fruit salad for breakfast and had a Chobanni Greek yogurt for lunch with a Sobe life water. My second walk basically duplicates my earlier one. so walked a little over 3 miles and burned about 420 calories. My cardio i modifed as well the stairmaster i shaved twenty minutes off my second workoutnand at times reduced the level. im still happynwith my training for today. I hope the walks and my night workout give me enough. Stay Tuned.....

Weight Loss Journey Week 16 Day 114 RECAP

Today was a little hard I wasn't sore necessarily but very tired. After my overnight shift I did find it hard to do my am workout. I opted to do it later. I even bummed a ride to the train station, so I lost the potential calories there. While at home struggling to get some sleep, I finally got off my duff and worked out. I started with Taebo Boot Camp CardioInferno  which was much easier today then I did a new workout by FitStar which is free called Short Circuit. I actually paid for a get lean 12 week program. I will somehow add it to all the other stuff I do. Lastly I did 30 Day Shred Level 1 since I'm sore weak today and did all the other stuff. I did manage to get a nap. I did cheat and weigh myself this morning after yogurt for breakfast and no cardio I was 196.4 I don't want to jinx myself but its almost safe to say ill hit my goal this week. Next week I'm on vacation and if I hit my goal, my goal will be to be 190 next week. I plan to go to the gym twice a day as well as doing home workouts and eating stellar. My car progress is better got a new car battery today and my car started. So next week I will get the oil changes and fluids catch back up as well as get a cap for my coolant that is missing. My second cardio i did the elliptical for 85 minutes. now with my HR Monitor i can see how these machines overestimated calorie burns. Depressing to say the least. Pictures are what I did today. Stay tuned...

Weight Loss Journey 2013 Week 16 Day 113 RECAP

So today I totally smashed my workouts. I started out with a early am walk with my. Other and son. Walked nearly four miles took about an hour. Once I got home I did my TaeBo BootCamp inferno and then did FitStar. I skipped the level 2 thirty day shred since I burned about 500 calories with the walk and m total workout time was about two and half hours. I figured that was enough. Breakfast I had a Chobanni Pineapple Yogurt and a G2 low calorie Gatorade. Lunch I had my Chinese food is time I changed the rice from beef fried to regular fried and had Szechuan chicken, I only ate half and gave the rest to my brother, I did have a 12 oz can of Pepsi. Later I walked a little over 1.5 miles to get to work, took about 30 minutes and 200 calories had dinner at the hospital I had a cheeseburger on wheat bread and a banana and a SoBe Life Water. I rested for about a hour then hit e gym. I did a ten minute warm up on the recumbent bike and then did 95 minutes on the stair-master. Here are pictures of my progress today.
