Day 27

Big news today turns out I am one of the round 2, 2007 featured competitors on the BFL website. What great motivation this is for me as I near the half way point of my second challenge. Here is the link! http://www.bodyforlife.com/challenge/2007/07Featured2.asp

Weight 273lbs

This morning I woke up ate some cereal and did my homework for the next couple weeks to prepare for vacation. Later in the day I ran some hills w/ my room mate and another guy that are looking to get in shape for rugby. I think I will practice with them but don't know how much I can play because the game schedule contradicts with helping my Dad during harvest. I was beat the rest of the day I think it was a combination of free day food and those dog gone hills. I honestly didn't even feel like journaling :(. The cool thing is I was rewarded when I hoped on the computer and went to visit my message board friends. Mark found me on the BFL website and sent me the link. Wow, that was a huge surprise and boost for me!!! It's time to kick it up another notch.

Day 25

Weight-274lbs

I woke up this morning and did my LBW it was alright not my best ever. The only thing that I have found I like better about Gold's then Lifetime is the calf machines. Lifetime has a couple calf machines but compared to the amount of machines they have for every other muscle group it's kind of disappointing. I can adapt some of the hip sleds they have to calf machines so it works out alright. Work was very good today. I had a lady call up and order 8 recliners, that was a first. I found out yesterday that my next class is going to have a pretty small workload which is definitely a plus with vacation coming up. I should be able to get the next two weeks worth of assignments done tomorrow. I am tired so will probably be hitting the hay here pretty soon.

Day 22

Weight- 275lbs

Today was very busy and about to get busier. I woke up this morning and went to the gym and swam for 20 minutes this was the first day I was able to make it all 20 minutes which was good. After my swim I got ready and went to work. Surprisingly July has been a pretty good sales month, today was a little slower but I needed a day to kind of play catch up. After work I headed to my aunts house to pick up my Mom and take her to the gym and show her how to do her LBW. That's right now my Mom has decided to become a BFLer. I gave her the book a couple of weeks ago she finally made time to read it last week and I helped her plan her workouts. Saturday while I was back home I taught her how to do the UBW. She is already learning the beauty of a good leg workout. While we were driving back from the gym she said her legs were shaking, so I think the first workout went pretty well. After we went to the gym we stopped by the book store and grabbed EFL for her to use at home. She is going to make Dad come in and workout with her in the mornings. He is actually pretty athletic and will probably enjoy lifting in the mornings it's just getting him to do the food thing that is an issue. He is going to have to make that decision to change because no one can make it for him.
