JustinNck1 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Today marks 1 year since I started eating healthy and exercising. Down more than 60 pounds, more muscle strength, and I can now run at a decent pace. I got big plans for the winter, hoping to lose some more and also work on more strength training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Today marks 12 days till I'm jumping back in 150% . Once me and the Mrs. are back from Vegas I'm hitting everything harder than I did before and getting to my under 219.9lb goal by the middle of May. Still up 10-12lbs or so from my back injury but feel ive gotten my core strength back and just need to ignore the back pain and get though the work outs again. This time around I'm going to do more muscle building because how fast I put some of the weight back on during my down time. Be awesome if I can get to my gaol by 2/14 because that would mark 2 years since I was almost 300 lbs. but not worried if I don't. next beach vacation in the end of may so that's my goal.

redbarron77 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 decided to take advantage of the time change....Since work keeps running later and later, preventing me from working out in the evenings, I decided to try waking up 30 minutes "earlier" to get a workout in the morning. starting point - 205 lbs, my 38" pants are too tight, and I am unable to walk at a brisk pace for more than a minute without sounding my age..... keeping it very light for the first week - 5 minutes cardio on the ski machine, 3x5 of crunches/leglifts, and LOTS of stretching.... We'll see if I can keep it up till I can get back in my 36" jeans, and be able to jog for 30 minutes without dying! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Almost in a 30" waist jean and wearing a medium t-shirt without looking like a sausage. Down to 185 lbs and that's WITH hairy legs, people. Keep at it. Change that lifestyle and it will change your life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I've switched from riding season gym routine to off season gym routine. Gas station food and eating while traveling has slowed my progress. I've got big plans for the winter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Okay, vacations for the year are done, next one is in 6 months. Climbed on the scale this morning and it said 253 , lets just say it was a great trip to Vegas. On to the next chapter. I've got 6 months till my next trip and time to get back to my original goal of being under 220. Since I'm scheduled to work 72 hours this week, this week will be a cleanse week. Get all the bad shit out of my body and kick up the fiber intake. Sunday morning will be workout time again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbarron77 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 week 1 in the books! while I didn't do any morning "workout", I did quite a few outdoor projects, and even got the bike out(and passed inspection), solid workout with putting it back together, oil changes on 3 vehicles(if you've never changed the oil in a class A RV, it is kinda fun), and fall maintenance on the pool. Felt some muscles I forgot I had! Started week 2 with adding in light calisthenics via push ups and squats with the BOSU ball, 5-7 minutes medium speed cardio, and upping the abs to 3x8. So far, no real muscle pain, just keeping it at a low ache(and LOTS of stretching). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Wellness visit today. BP is 126/72. RHR is 59 BPM. Drew some blood for a quick sugar and cholesterol check. Snagged a flu shot while I was on the table. Not bad for an old fart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashesbuck Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Started doing this planet fitness 30 min workout. About 3 times a week, for about 2 weeks now. I can already tell a difference in my strength. I have never done strength training before, actually no wieghts at all. I always do treadmill, oliptical and bike. That's about it. Seem to have hit a brick wall with wieght loss, at about 238. Hoping this new work out, and back to clean eating will shack things up again. At one point I was down to 220, and before my new "life style" I wieghed 320 lbs. That was 2014ish I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the 30 minute machines but never follow the 30 minute program. It's kinda funny to watch how attendance at PF will spike in the next month or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do it as it's intended. One the steps for 60sec, then wieghts for 60 secs... I work more for allot of reps, lighter weight. And really work the steps heard to get the heart rate up. I like to maintain 150 or better the whole time, and try to Target 170 for a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stair climber I can get higher than that, but not for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorset Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 if i cut out food carbs and tequila, i can lose two pounds a week. went from 210 to 186 in about 90 days, in time for ECTA in 2016. giving up the tequila is lots harder than cutting the carbs.

JustinNck1 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I've been back to my regular exercise routine and I'm back to seeing lower numbers on the scales. New job has me getting more than double my normal steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Starting today I'm back to tracking and counting calories and carb intake. As well as extra calories burned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbarron77 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Start of week 3! 10 minutes of solid cardio, 3x10 of sit-ups, leg lifts, with alternating days of BOSU ball push-ups and squats. in another 2 weeks, I'll be adding in resistance/weight training(a practically new Bow-Flex will get dusted off), and put the cardio at 15 minutes of higher intensity levels(my $15 Craigslist Nordic track) by adding in the resistance on it in small increments. The overall impact I have seen has no major waist line differences yet, but no increases either! I do feel a bit more energy in the later part of the day, so dishes and laundry are not getting behind(since I am still putting in 50+ hours per week).

flashesbuck Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 New smartwatch. I was using a moto360 sport. This is a New Balance RunIQ. I ahve been watching these sense they were released back in Feb. Original price was 299, they recently dropped the price to 199, and you can find the brand new in the 150$ range. Great watch for the price really. Onboard GPS, and HRM. running Android Wear 2.0. Amonge many other things. My biggest grip, the size, it's considerably larger than the Motorola. Ships with Strava software pre installed, but the downside to the Strava Wear app, no indoor option. Previously on the Moto360 I used the Moto fit app that worked quit well and synced seamlessly with My fitness Pal. Now I'm trying out Google fit on the watch for tracking. So far seems ok.
