Day 3

Weight- 276lbs

I woke up this morning for my cardio session and my hip was feeling pretty bad. On top of that my neck felt like it was out of place. So I took it as easy as I could on the treadmill. I set up an appointment Friday morning with a chiropractor so hopefully he can get me realigned. Tomorrow morning I still plan to do my upperbody workout. I think I can still have a decent work out with out straining myself too much.

Day 2

Weight -279

I didn't get up early this morning I guess I needed some more rest. So I did my workout this evening. Today was legs and I had one of my better leg workouts. Gold's isn't the most well air conditioned gym in the world so I really worked up a good sweat. I have been recovering from a strained muscle that seems to run up to my left hip. It had just recently started to feel much better in the last week. Today when I was doing lunges I strained it again and it really is annoying me. So I think for the next couple weeks I will have to stick to leg curls. Eating is on like donkey kong I would say for the last 4 weeks or so my meals have pretty much been the same every day which for now seems to have boost my weight loss again I plan to continue it. EFl egg casserole, yogurt cottage cheese mix, Chicken Brown Rice Broccoli, Myoplex, Myoplex, Salmon baked potato broccoli. Surprisingly I am not bored with it. I think my free day breaks up the pattern for me. Well I need to go pack my lunches and head to bed.

Day 1

Weight- 284lbs

Day one baby! Its time to go, and it feels more like a competition now for me. Went to work this morning not much about that. Came home and went to the pool for awhile. Then met up with my brother went to a park and did a boxing workout and some sprints. We were both dead by the end of it. We finished with two "Oklahoma's" we did a 4 consecutive 50 yard sprints in between each sprint we alternated 10 push-ups and then 10 sit-ups by the last 10 sit-ups I was so out of breath. It was a great workout and plan on doing it more often during this 12 weeks. I came home and ate and now its time for bed, I need to get up early for my leg workout.

Day 0

Weight- unknown

Last night when I went to bed I was not feeling so well and didn't fall asleep till 3 am. I don't know if it was something I ate at the game last night or what, but my stomach was in knots so I called in sick. I took it pretty easy this morning just went to church at 9:30 and kind of hung out. By 3 this afternoon I was starting to feel better so I decided to go workout around 6pm or so.

Tomorrow is day one of challenge 2 and I am really excited. My brother is in town watching my aunts house while she is on vacation so I think I am going to meet him up to do a little boxing cardio after work. I bought some gloves and training pads awhile back and haven't really had the chance to use them. It will be a nice change.

Day -1

Weight- 278lbs

This morning I woke up and worked on my homework a little and then went to the mall before my brother came over to my house. We ran some errands and then came back to my house and took pictures for my count down challenge I am pretty happy with the results. I can see a big improvement in my face, chest, and my upper back (you can just start to see my shoulder blades.) I was contemplating the improvement that I made in my first 12 weeks and can't wait to see how big of a transformation I make in the next 12 weeks.

After we took pictures we headed down town to Barry O's to meet some friends and go to the CWS my brother and I bought a couple tickets from a regular there 4th row up on the left field line for face value. It was kind of a blow out, but still a fun game none the less. I think living in Omaha I take for granted the fact that this was the first game for the Baseball National Championship. It really cool when you think about it. I wanted to go out to the bars but I needed to come home early and cook for tomorrow. Speaking of which I better go check my chicken on the grill.

Day -2

Weight- 277lbs

This morning i got up went to the gym and did my last cardio workout before I start my next official challenge. It went pretty well considering the first 4 treadmills I got on either the Tv or the display was not working. Everybody at the gym probably thinks I am just real picky about which treadmill I am on. I had a great 10 today I finished running at a 15% incline at about 5.5 mph. Then I stretched and went home. I came home ate and worked on some homework then went to the pool for a couple of hours. I came in and ate around 3 and my brother and sister in law came over a little latter to go to the pool but unfortunately it started raining. Tomorrow I planning an amazing free day that may involve 6 meal, and none of them will be good. One last hurrah before the my next challenge. I can't wait!

Day -3

Weight 277lbs

I had a really good upper body work out at the gym this morning. I did the fly machine for chest and dumbell press as my superset and boy was I burning after that. I came home ate breakfast and watched some TV then went to work. My brother called me at work and I think we are going to go to the CWS on Saturday. Tomorrow though is all about doing homework and laying by the pool, maybe not in that specific order. Tomorrow night I think I will go to Paulie's, it is a hole in the wall 50 weeks out of the year, but during the CWS they build a fence around the entire bar's property and it is a huge party. I tried to get a hold of the lady at Creighton to do my Body fat % for me, no luck, it might have to happen next week. If I maintained the 209lbs of muscle then I am probably at about 25% at my current BF. Tomorrow is my last workout for this challenge countdown and I am really excited to start on Monday. I have been thinking, even though I know I will be happy being at 15% BF I may just do a 3rd challenge and try and get down to single digits. Hmmmm... maybe I should just worry about my second one first.
