Day -23

Weight 283lbs

Today went really well, how could it not it was my free day. I went over to my brother and sister and laws and made lunch for them and gave them some baby presents. They are due the first part of July. I made EFL enchiladas. I asked them if they liked them spicy they said yeah, so I put in two Jalapenos instead of one. It may have been a little too spicy! Jessica's sister fed a bite to her son who is probably two or so. You should have seen the look on his face. LOL! He immediately took the piece of chicken out of his mouth threw it on the table and started chugging juice from his sippy cup. So she fed him a sandwich instead, but he kept trying to eat the enchiladas. It was funny. Later we went to De Soto Bend and fished for a little while, but we couldn't stay long because it started to rain. We came back their apartment went to church. After church I looked at my tire and realized there was a bubble on the side wall hopefully it can make it a couple days till I can get new tires. I was just hoping I could make it home! Now I am going to eat and then head out with some friends downtown. Tomorrow begins a week of intense focus and even more intense workouts!

Day -24

Weight 284lbs

This morning I woke up and went to the gym and spent a little extra time doing cardio. I jumped rope for awhile (which I am not very good at) did some wall climbs and then hit the stationary bike for 30 minutes. I came home worked on some homework and did some laundry. Later in the evening I met up with my brother and sister in law and went to a movie. I came home finished folding my laundry and here I am. I am really excited to start this next week with a new focus on my workouts and eating. I am going to tighten up my meals and kick my workouts up a notch.

Day -25

Weight 284lbs

I am still plateauing and can't stand it. So next week it is back to the basics! I am cutting out the EFL food I normally eat. I am also going to start drinking two Myoplex's a day to substitute for the 1 protein shake and extra EFL meal I have been eating. I really want to be down to around 270 before I start my next official challenge. My leg work out today was pretty good I saved my ab workout for tomorrow because I was still sore this morning from the last ab workout. I will probably do the same ab workout tomorrow minus the floor wipers.

Day -26

Weight 283lbs

Work was kind of boring today, after I got home I practiced my presentation a couple of times and then went to class. I gave a pretty good presentation for just finishing it last night. After class I came home changed and went to the gym. I decided to do some work on the elliptical machine. It was a good workout, I stretched and went home. I made enough shrimp stir fry for tonight's meal as well as lunch so I should be set for tomorrow.

Day -27

Weight- 285lbs

I just finished my presentation for class tomorrow and I really don't feel like typing anymore. I ate well today and had a really good upper body workout. I am soooooo sore from yesterdays ab workout. This is the first time my abs have ever been sore top to bottom. I am tired so it is off to bed. More tomorrow!

Day -28

Weight-285lbs

Today went very well, I got up this morning ate and then went to the golf tournament my friends and I put on. Pretty small affair mainly with people we know. After that I came home took a nap and then went to the gym to do cardio. I met Jon there we were planning on doing abs together. I did my cardio while he was working upper body. I ended doing about 20 mins on the tred stairs and 10 on the stationary bike to give him time to finish his work out. The ab work out was good and I am sure I will be feeling it tomorrow. The floor wipers were a fun exercise to do and plan on trying to do it on or two times a month. After the I got home I ate and then my roommate and I did some cleaning. After that we watched the movie Invincible. It was a good story I have come to the realization that football movies can't be bad. I don't think I have ever seen one I didn't like. I am really tired I need to pack my lunch and go to bed.

Day -29

Weight-285lbs

So less then a month away from my second and probably final "official" challenge. I have been chugging along as Kevin put it but, I am getting to impatient for my "final" results. I know they will come and I know that I am also in a much better place than I was 15 weeks ago. I am sure it is linked to a slow week in the weight loss category. It's funny because I know this week I will loose weight, no question about it, but I still get down about it. Today went well I ate well and made some money at work. I think people were getting there shopping done before the store closed tomorrow. After work I cam home and took a little nap, then went to the gym. There was one car there I couldn't believe it they closed early for Memorial day. So I came home and did my leg work out with a stability ball. I strapped on book bags, golf bags, and anything that could be used as weights to myself. It was a pretty good workout considering. Tomorrow after I go golfing I will go to the gym (They are open till 8pm) and do cardio then Jon and I are going to do abs together. We wanted to try out floor wipers. They sound like fun and definitely require a spotter. Here is a link if you don't know what they are. They originated from Gym Jones the Gym that trained the "Spartans" in the movie 300.
