Almost One Year

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Happy New Year to anyone who reads these lame posts of mine.  This post is a couple days later then normal but I’ve been distracted by other things. I’m sure no one missed it anyway.

It’s the middle of winter here, and I’m starting to miss the ability to walk and jog outside. The treadmill has finaly crashed under the stress of having me abuse it. I am likely going to buy an elliptical machine to replace it as a friend of mine highly recommends them over the classic treadmill. Just haven’t fully decided yet.

Starting today I’m going to get psycho about this again. I haven’t been bad at all, but I feel I just need to get even more obsessed with this then I have been.

It’s almost been 1 year, and I will be making a post when I get to that point. Which is about 2 weeks from now. Though I don’t think I’ll be making my 1 year goal, I can live with that.

As always I’ve posted pictures on my progression page.

December Goals

Get to 220 lbs - I never make these, but I still set them. Lost 10 lbs, which is good

5 minute plank - I’m not sure why but I just haven’t done these much

Be able jog/run 1.5 miles without stopping - Done

Work on increasing my speed doing HIIT on the treadmill - Done, even though it broke last week

January Goals

Get to 210 lbs

5 minute plank

Be very strict with my diet

Look into adding a little body weight circut training

November is over

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Another month goes by. November was a bit slow to start but I made up a lot of ground in the last 2 weeks. Might have just been a natural plateau. My ankle has been really tender the last couple weeks or so, I think I strained it a bit while doing HIIT, I’ve taken it easy since then as I don’t want to make it worse. As soon as it feels better I’ll be back doing what I was doing.

I’m still working a lot, an doing well in my classes. Looking forward to this semester ending and seeing that my hard work as paid off in my GPA.

I’m quite happy with things at present, and I’ve been very happy in my every day stuff.

As always I’ve posted a couple new pics on my progression page.

November Goals

Get to 230 lbs - Didn’t make it, but I never seem to. Must be why it’s a goal.

5 minute plank - I didn’t do to much of this, though I can do it for 2 minutes I know.

Be able jog/run 1.5 miles without stopping - My ankle has not cooperated this month.

Work on my bench press amount - The amount I’m reping is up, so done.

I made it another month

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Really good month for me. I may not have achieved the little goals I set, but I did a lot of other things.

I’ve been doing real well in my classes, I’m working 30ish hours a week, and there is something else that’s been diverting my attention. In a good way though.

I’m happy with the month, and I’m happy to see a bigger number down then I did last month.

As always I”ll post pictures on my progress page.

October Goals

Get to 240 lbs - 245 actually, but that’s good

Continue 100 push-up challenge - I’ve actually taken a break from this.

Get to 15 minute mile - I’m so close, I should have this in the next week, my ankle makes it hard sometimes

Work on a 5 minute plank - I didn’t do this much, I’ve been focused on the cardio

Another month down

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

As always I have put new pictures up on my progression page.

September is my slowest month so far for weight lose. I think it has something to do how busy I have been with work and school. That’s not a bad thing.

I’ve been challenged by someone to get to 150 lbs lost by my one year mark. That means I have 43 lbs to go in 3.4 months. I’m going to give it a real push to get there.

September Goals

Get to 250 lbs - Only 7 lbs lost, my slowest month. Been busy though.

Keep my job - Done

Continue the 100 push-up challenge - Stuck on week 3 but still working on it.

Get situated in school - Doing well here.

Get to a 15 minute mile - Ankle hasn’t cooperated but will continue to work on it

October Goals

Get to 240 lbs

Continue 100 push-up challenge

Get to a 15 minute mile

Work on a 5 minute plank

The dog days are over

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

So the month of August has come and gone. As always, I’ve taken 2 pictures of myself and put them on my progression page. I did something to amuse myself with it this time. I wore one of my more “comfortable” shirts from when I was much larger. Its kinda funny to see exactly how big it is on me now. On to my goals.

August Goals

Get to 260 lbs - Nope, I’m good with 265 right now though.

Get a Job - Hell yes! I start this week.

Start the 100 push-up challenge - 1 week into it, no major issues thus far.

Get situated in school - One week of classes down. Doing well.

So once again, I do not hit my weight goal. Honestly I think I set them pretty boldly, so even though I don’t make them I at least have a high goal to work towards. However, getting to 265 means I have lost 100 lbs since I started this little endeavour. That’s a huge milestone.

I also start my job this coming week, and I’m in school. I’m having to adjust my schedule to still allow me to get my work outs in, but I’m determined to keep up with this. I feel so much better then I used too. I don’t ever want to go back to where I was.

September Goals

Get to 250 lbs

Keep my job

Continue the 100 push-up challenge

Get situated in school

Get to a 15 minute mile
