Well I expect a gain this week, and I’m HAPPY about it! I’m pounding rep after rep of weightlifting four days a week. Also using whey protein and creatine. I’ve gotten explosive gains in strengh. Is this stuff legal? I guess it is, if Wal-Mart sells it!

No Doughnut, chocalate, or Big Mac, will ever make you feel as good as:

Running 2 blocks without getting tired!

A admiring look from a member of the opposite sex!

The pants you wore last year, plummenting to the ground!

Eating a sald or a grilled chicken sandwich, and feeling completly satisfied!

Stick with it buddies, you’ll get there!

Ashamed as I am to admit it now, I remember going into McDonalds last year, and eating a big mac, a double cheese burger, a big coke, and 2 large orders of fries AT ONE SITTING.

This morning I walked in there for the first time this year, (just to use the restroom) and promptly had to walk back out.  I gagged and was nearly sick. The smell of the grease was so bad. All this healthy eating has been worth it. Not just losing weight, but being able to gag at the thought of eating fast food. I must be doing something right!!

This week I started a new approach to training. After almost 5o lbs lost, I started lifting a little heavier, and am drinking a protein supplement, and take 3 amino acid tabs a day. I saw the tinest bit of muscle growth already today! The downside is I put back a bit on the belly, but I am going to up my pilates and ab routine so I won’t worry to much. Its good to get skinny again, but a man wants a little muscle!

They just won’t go! This is the first week that I have not lost a pound!  Not stressing though. I went to the Doctor yesterday, and he said I was his top weight loser this year! He checked my cholestoral and triglyerides, and they were 137, and 97 ! (Thats almost as good as it gets.) Those last four pounds will come off. I just know it!

Just two days till my monthly weigh in. I have a feeling I may be at my goal. I’m very excited. My muscles are starting to grow a little, and the workouts are getting better, and I actually look foward to them. I have almost cut out all meat, just salmon, and sardines. Almost 5 months without deserts which is a miracle.

I feel like I could go outside and pick up my house. If I hit my goal weight this week, I may just do it!

I can neither afford or get to a gym. I have powerful workouts however, using things I already have around my house. Every other day I fill a wheelbarrow with bricks, and push it up and down the street in front of my house. (An old baby carriage will work too.)

You can keep adding weight, and further distance as you get stronger. For super intensity wear a backpack with a couple of large books in it. Your neighbors may look at you funny, but wait till they see the fat melting away over time,  as  you go by!

Yess.. Weighed in yesterday. Finally on the backside of 40lbs gone. I was a bit surprised since I have’nt been able to get outside, and woork much lately. I think adding a few calories, and protein really fired up my metabolism. 8 pounds to go. In the homestreche!

Didn’t get a great many heavy workouts last week because of the rain. Also took in a few extra calories this weekend. (Good ones- mozzarella cheese, a little red wine) Going out to lift some more logs today) I think I’ll slam my metabolism into overdrive. Expecting great results when I weigh myself Thursday. Everybody have a great week!

I’ve got a Knights Of Columbus banquet coming up tommorow night, and of course am concerned about breaking my diet. I found out who the caterers were, and called them this afternoon. They said they were serving chicken cordon bleu, but than asked if I’d like something else. She said she would get me a chicken breast and string beans with a yam instead of a baked potatoe. I thanked her profusly. She said not to worry about it, they frequently get those requests. A chef will accomadate you, if you only ask!
