Weight 280lbs
What a great day! We went to Beaver Lake to celebrate my Aunt and Uncle's 40th wedding anniversary at their daughter-in-laws family's lake home. It was a beautiful day we and a lot of fun. Most of my Mom's side hadn't seen me since I started BFL and all noticed a huge difference in my appearance. I don't think the compliments ever get old :) they kind of fuel the fire. They were probably wondering how I lost all the weight considering all I did was eat today(Free day) lol. I am so tired it is amazing how tired you get from just lounging around in the sun all day, really zaps ya. I will get a good nights sleep tonight!
Tomorrow will be a busy one. I plan on getting up early and going to the gym, then going to church right after, then on to work. After work I have a softball game. I am excited for this week, I will keep the intensity up at the gym and hopefully keep moving the scale in the right direction. I am starting to catch my brother which will make a fun competition for both of us! Right now he is sitting at about 275lbs I think.

Day -17
Weight-281lbs
I woke up and went to the gym around 9 today and did cardio. The work out was good HIIT incline cardio. After the gym I went to Jensen tire where one of my friends works and dropped off my car. My sister-in-law Jessica picked me up and took back to my house. I told her I was glad that she picked me up because I didn't want this to be the first time I took a cab before midnight. If you are reading this Jessica, thank you for doing that. When I got back home I ate did a little homework and watched TV. Around 4:30 I got call from Jensen Tire saying my car was done. So I called my friend Jon and he picked me up and took me down there. We got there the guy explained the charges and I gave him my bank card to pay. It came back declined, because I have a $600 daily spending limit on the card and the bill was like $609. Luckily I have really good friends, before I could even call my bank Jon just offered to pay for it for me. So he came to my house after and I just wrote him a check. It is so nice to have the piece of mind that my tire isn't going to just blow at any minute. I also had the exhaust fixed which had been rumbling for a couple weeks now, so it is really nice that it is back to being silent.
Later on in the evening Jon and couple of my other friends and I went down to check out taste of Omaha. It is basically a carnival type atmosphere down by the river, highlighting many of the restaurants food from around the Omaha area. In other words it is a bunch of booze and really good food. I did manage to find something I could eat. Chicken Kabobs, just chicken on a stick. It didn't bother me not being able to eat or drink what did bother me a little was my friends asking me are you sure you don't want any? There is just so many times a guy can get tempted before he caves, but I didn't so that was good. We went to a bar downtown later that night and then I drove Brad's Jeep back to his place because I was the only one sober. They will owe me a few DD's come September. Overall a very good night but it is 2am time for bed.

Weight- 281lbs
I am really feeling good now that I have gone back to drinking 2 Myoplexes a day, I feel like I have more energy. I went to the gym this morning after my meeting and did my upper body workout. My workout was really intense broke into a good sweat. I did forget to stretch, but still a good workout. Work was hectic today, two people were in Vegas and one person had a family member die so we were really short. We were slammed all day long which was good in a way because there was plenty of money to be made. I came home after work and my room mate was half way into the BFL book and probably will finish it tonight. He was asking me a lot of questions about it and I believe will be doing the official 12 week challenge with me starting June 25th. I think the possibility of helping someone through a challenge start to finish and seeing their results will be more rewarding then making it through it myself. I am so excited for June 25th I can't even stand it. More importantly I am really excited for September 16th!

Day -19
Weight- 280lbs
Today started off with a bang when I stepped on the old scale. It looks like tightening up my food and bringing up my intensity is paying off, lesson learned. The lessons I learn from this program are invaluable and just like life if you learn from your lessons and try not to make them again you become a better person. I went to the gym before work and did incline cardio on the treadmill again. I came home waited and hour before eating breakfast and then went to work. After work I came home had a Myoplex and then went to class. Class went by pretty fast, this program is just plain fast paced. I am sure in December I will be wishing it was over though. Tomorrow I am going to make an appointment for my car at Jensen Tire I will drop it off in the morning then my brother is going to pick me up and give me a ride home. We will pick it up on Saturday morning before going to my aunt and uncles anniversary party. Well I have a meeting early tomorrow so I better get to bed.

Today went well I woke up early and went to the gym. I have decided to go back to the basics. I have given up on my "distance" running for awhile and am going back to BFL style cardio. Today I walked inclines between 15-30%. It really got my heart rate going around 145 or so at the higher inclines. I came home showered ate breakfast and went to work. Work was really slow, but it ended up to be an alright day. I came home did a little cleaning and laundry then worked on a little homework. I am going to pack my lunch and then go to bed early so I can get up early and work the legs. My workout yesterday proved to be pretty good. My chest, triceps, and biceps are really sore today!

Work was ok today slow but I still managed to squeeze out a few sales. After work I went to my cousins high school graduation party. It was good to see some of my family there. After I came home changed and went to the gym. I had the most intense workout that I have had since my official challenge ended. I focused on my lifts and that was it. That is how intense I plan to stay all the way through September. I realized today for the past couple weeks I have lost my intensity and focus. Now it is back to stay, its time I get back to steam roller mode. I ate well today and went back to drinking two Myoplexes. Tomorrow I am going to get up early to do cardio on an empty stomach. I am excited for the next 3 weeks leading up to my next official challenge.
