Chad’s Week #3 Weigh-in

Happy Labor Day!  I weighed-in at 200.8 this morning.  Not a drastic difference from last week, but surprising considering how much I gave into eating junk this week.

We’re having a cookout with some friends tonight.  I’m going to try to exercise restraint this evening…and then I’m going to get serious tomorrow with the diet, and hopefully burn some more calories this week.

Holding Steady.

So, I’ve been hanging in there at 201.8 all week.  weird.

Hoping to work off a few pounds this weekend.

That is all.

Week of Exercise.

So I have really gotten on it this week in regard to exercise.  I don’t think my weight has moved much though, which is a little frustrating. However, I have gotten my diet in the right direction so hopefully I will start seeing results soon.  Here’s what the week looked like; Monday: Gym, Tuesday: MTB, Wednesday: Gym, Thursday:  MTB, Friday: Gym.  Thats a good week, I actually feel really good, I always do when I am working out.

231.

No change in weight.  Time to ramp it up!  More calories used, less calories in.

Riding High.

Weighed in at 231 again today, same as yesterday.  I really need to get on my diet, went out for chicken wings and Yogartz last night with friends.  So I need to get it brought it.

Went on a MTB ride this morning.  Did a great trail, but most of its downhill so not a huge cardio workout, but still freakin awesome. 

Will try to double up my workout today with a lifting session this afternoon, we’ll see.

Weigh-in #2

I was excited to see that I weighed 201.2 this morning.  I’ve shed 5 lbs. so far!  Really didn’t expect that.  Without really going hardcore with the exercise program yet, it shows that my diet has really helped.  Also, I realize that I had some extra pounds that really were just waiting to disappear.  The weight loss will go a little slower as the weeks go on.

Chris, I’m going to adopt your goal of 4 lbs. this week.  Here we go…

Chris: Monday Weigh in.

Today I weighted in at 231. Thats down 3 lbs for the week, not bad, but not earth shattering either. However, I wasn’t very disciplined so I guess its still good that I lost something.

This week I am starting to get back in the gym (was there this morning). I have struggled over the past decade to be on a consistent routine of working out and eating healthy. I always had something the blame it on, too much work in college, living on the road, skinny wife who eats like a mule that won’t diet with me because she may die if she gets less than 9000 calories a day. But its really about me and my decision to eat poorly and not exercise. The times I have been disciplined I saw great improvements, not just how I looked, but to how I felt as well. However, every time my own laziness creeps up and I fall away. Hopefully not this time, we’ll see how it goes.

Goal for this week: Keep my diet under control, hit the gym at least 3 times, lose 4 lbs.

PS

Chad, I am going to keep a record on my “Chris” page of my weigh-ins every week, I think it will be cool for us to look back and see the numbers get smaller. Have a good day buddy.

hello again.

So, the weekend came and I haven’t been back to check this site.  Its amazing to see everyone chiming in.  (note of thanks: Taylor, I will try to remember to forget to eat)

Chris, we could do weigh-ins every Monday.  I don’t think I’m going to be that much different from last Monday.  (note of caution: thinking thin thoughts is not enough)

Freakin’ Yogartz!

So last night Ray and I went out with our friends Shaun and Melissa for wings and trivia.  After beating everyone in 3 out of 4 rounds of trivia they forced me to go out for frozen yogart.  We have a place here called Frozen Yogartz (we call it “YO-GARTZ”) and its awesome.  You serve yourself and then there is a toppings bar with great toppings and you pay by weight.  So everyone forced me to eat dessert, not good for the diet.  oh well. Cheers.

Recipes and Inspiration.

As Chad and I go through this process I was thinking that we could post any good recipes or inspirational stories that we hear. 

I have no recipes at this moment.  However, Bodybuilding.com has some great transformation stories of folk who lost weight, worth checking out.  Cheers.
