Day -46

Weight 289lbs

This morning I got up early went to the gym and did lower body it was a really good workout. Workouts are going a lot quicker for me know that I am not bringing my workout sheets with me to the gym. I am right on the 1 min 2 min rotation which is nice. I came home had some EFL pancakes which I made w/ a scoop of whey they weren't bad that way they just were a little flat. Work was slow today but I made it out alive I went to HY-VEE after work and picked up some groceries to make the EFL Enchiladas from what I have heard they are very good so I can't wait. I will make them tomorrow on my day off. Off to bed!

Day -47

Weight- 288lbs

Today went really really well. We had our monthly meeting at work this morning so I had to go to work an hour early to attend. I had to speak at the meeting about the department intranet site that a co-worker and I put together. The day went by pretty fast and at the end of the day I got a great surprise. I had my quarterly review today and found out I did really well. I got moved to 120 as we call it at work which I have only had one other time. Basically it means that for the next four months my paychecks will be bumped up 20% from whatever they are. I am really pumped. After work I headed home and prepared for class. Class went well tonight I really like the format it makes thing go much quicker. Next week will be the last week for this current subject and then on to the next I need to get my next book this week! After class I headed to the gym and had a really good cardio work out I made it two miles which was my goal it is starting to get a little easier. I came home after and relaxed and had my last meal. Now time for bed I have a leg workout waiting for me in the morning.

Day -48

Weight- 290lbs

Work went by really quickly today. I was putting out fires for the first half of the day but everything turned out pretty well and even made some money. I came home after work and went to the gym. I am sticking to the BFL workouts however I am doing them more freestyle. I want to come to the gym with a plan for my first set and plan my workout as I go the rest of the way. It worked really well today I finished in a timely manner and had a great workout. I have set new goals for the next seven weeks. I don't really like setting goals about weight even though they are in my head. I would rather set goals to dictate my performance which should in turn get me to the weight I want to be at.

1. Stretch every day. (something I really don't take the time to do enough)
2. Never repeat a lifting workout. (shock the body!)
3. Push myself past mental limits. (cardio mainly but lifting as well)

After I got back from the gym I came home finished my homework and watched some TV. Now I need to read my homework over again and email it to my professor.

Day -49

Weight- 290lbs

I am not done journaling as people on my blog and at bflnebraska.com read into my comments on Saturday. There is no way I would give this up it is part of what got me through my first 12 weeks. However I am going to change things up just slightly. This next seven weeks I am not going to post my food and my workouts on my blog. It became a chore for me the first 12 weeks and I need a break from that. However if I see myself slipping at all I will bring them back. I will still keep track of my workouts on paper for my own records. Today went really well Just like any other BFL day really. I ate six good meals no shakes, all meals and I am going to do that for a couple of days until I can think of a good carb to add to my whey protein shakes. It will have to be something I can eat on the side because I don't have a blender at work. I just don't feel like spending the money on Myoplex when I have 10lbs of whey collecting dust on my fridge. I have decided to switch my free days to Saturday so I can enjoy them. So Sunday will really be my first day of the week from now on. I came home and went directly to the gym and did a fitness test on the treadmill. I want to compare my results at the end of this seven weeks and see how much I improve. The machine basically shuts down when your pulse gets over 150 something. It shut down on me at 11 minutes it worked me up to a 10 incline at 6.5mph. I walked for another 10 minutes or so and then did abs because I just kind of felt like doing abs I guess. I came home ate a meal and did homework on and off the rest of the night I will have a little bit left to do tomorrow and then back to class on Wednesday to get some more!
