Note to self

February 22, 2010

Best shape of my life by May 30, 2010, my 40th birthday.

It’s been a while since I last blogged

January 26, 2010

As you can see, the last time I made a blog entry was 11/13/09. With the holidays, along with some personal challenges I’m currently going through, I kind of fell off the blogging bandwagon. The good news is that I’m still hard at work on my Lifestyle Transformation Success Program and am in negotiations with [...]

I smoked the 70 lb. dumbbells!

November 13, 2009

I put up the 70 lb. dumbbells for 9 reps on the flat bench press today! I had previously been doing incline presses, which are more difficult; as such, one typically can’t lift as much on the incline as on the flat bench. I had a little difficulty lifting them into position (my forearm strength [...]

The weight just keeps coming off!!

I put up 65 lb. dumbbells for reps yesterday!

October 28, 2009

I’ve been working with Carlos and John at Adrenalin Gym on my incline dumbbell bench presses. I told them I’ve never been a strong lifter, and they won’t accept that (in the best way possible).
Yesterday I did the 60s for 12 reps, then John helped me (I lifted the weight all myself; he helped me [...]

I did my first plyometric workout today

October 25, 2009

Carlos at Adrenalin Gym took me through an intense 30-minute plyometric workout today. It is something I had never done and was a real eye-opener. Very little weights were involved and was principled around explosive movements performed in a superset fashion. I was winded, cotton-mouthed, sweating like a pig, and panting like a dog.
I [...]

One more pound lost!

October 23, 2009

I lost another pound! Today’s weigh in: 232 lbs. Only 15-17 lbs. to my goal weight by 12/15!!!!

I smoked the 60 lb. dumbbells on the incline bench press!

October 21, 2009

I put up 60lb. dumbbells on the incline bench press for 10 reps on Monday, 10/19! Big thanks to Carlos at Adrenalin Gym (www.adrenalinusa.com) for helping me with the psychology of the lift!

Another 1.5 lbs. lost forever!

October 18, 2009

Today’s weigh in: 233 lbs.
That’s 1.5 lbs. lighter than I was on 10/10, eight days ago. So, on average, I’ve lost between 1.5 to 2 lbs. per week since my the start of my transformation on 6/8/09.
Only 15-18 more lbs. to go to reach my goal weight of 215-220 by 12/15!!!
