Fitness Update

Great week for the Fitness program. Workouts were fantastic, actually enjoying yoga! Hit plyos and weights agressively this week and also worked hard on eating healthy, the good news, weight is down to 221, next week I should break the 220 mark, always a good mark for me to hit! The next two weeks is the last two of the current phase of my workout, its been a long haul, 3 months, but is really paying off, I am a little nervous about being able to get into the level of fitness to complete the sprint triathlon in only 4 weeks, but will give it my very best. Time will tell! More later.

Memorial Day Monday

After a much needed day off yesterday I am on the program today, first thing, 3 mile run/hike up lone pine state park, cliff trail to park trail loop, great run for sure. Next, Chest, shoulders and triceps followed by some yard work and a nice relaxing kayak down the flathead river. Tonight am going off the "wagon" a little and enjoying a couple of hot dogs, some shrimp salad and baked beans, should be a banner day all in all, a great kick off to summer. Up coming week will be hard concentration on loosing a few pounds and heavy weight lifting with sessions of plyos and yoga thrown in. The fitness quest is going very well and I couldn't be happier with progress.

A great week of workouts

This last week had a great week of workouts and really felt the progress. Eating healthy went pretty good and the combo of the two paid off. Lost a few more pounds, down to 225 and falling right along schedule. Highlights were the long Yoga workout, my form and ability in this area has grown significantly and felt really good about it. Actually, all the workouts felt great. The upcoming week promises to be challenging, mixing up the workouts again! Only 4 weeks left on the current program, getting close and am pretty committed to getting it done.

Fitness Update

Workouts are going pretty darn good right now, after 10 weeks of working on it, I finally made it through a complete 90 cycle of yoga! The running has been great and falling right into place, abs, no problem, weight lifting, pull ups, leg day, martial arts, plyometrics.....all no problem, the hardest workout is yoga! Its long and taxing but yesterday I finally got through it with style. After gaining a few pounds during a week of travel and eating a little too much, I am back on the right track, down a few more pounds to 227. Almost 30 pounds down from the start and moving in the right direction. Hoping to meet the ultimate goal around the middle of July. Hard work, good eating and determination will pay off.

Friday Weigh-in

Well, I made it through the Denver trip, fell off the diet wagon a bit with all the great food, but got right back on it when i got home. I did workout a few times in Denver, noticed the change in altitude for sure, it was good though. Workouts are going great, seems like i have been tired but once I get going, they are great! Weight is rolling along, down a bit more, not bad considering the eating at the Dish Convention, currently at 227.5, dang near 30 pounds from my peak of 256! Am continuing to work hard and am dedicated to really pushing in during the next month. Favorite workouts currently are my Martial Arts and Plyometrics workouts, toughest is the yoga day! Next week begins phase three and I am really looking forward to making it Xtreme! See ya all later.

What a Week

Spent the week in Denver at a Dish Network convention, ate too much, only worked out twice but did stay on the program basically, the upcoming week is a "recovery week" in my workout so will really hit the flexibility and yoga hard and be ready for the next month of working my tail off, still below 230 so on track weight wise, I will be checking in soon!

Rare Mid-week post

For a rare mid-week update, just wanted to "toot my horn" a little. Tomorrow I head to Denver for a business trip, my goal was to be in the 220's somewhere before my trip. I weighed in this morning, 229! Feel good about making my goal, started this journey at 256, 27 pounds down, 29 to go, basically at the half way mark!! couldn't be happier! The P90X workout has been really tough but I have gotten it down and now am really seeing the benifits, also, adding a good run in the mornings 3 days a week has been really helpful as well. See ya all soon, hoping to really keep it up during the trip.

Kickin it up a Notch!

What a week of workouts! Heavy weights, lots and lots of push-ups and pull-ups, great Martial Arts, intense Yoga (hardest day of the week), Abs, core strength, running and more. Down a few more pounds, hoping to be down a few more before having to travel, working on my travel workouts. Weight: 233 and counting, goal in the next week: in the 220's (even 229 would be nice). More next week, happy training.
