So there is more good news to share today. I weighed in at 205! This is the lowest I have ever been and way excited to report it. Is there a reason for why I lost another 2 pounds. Well I think there is and it has to do with what I thought was a mistake.

It started last night after my blog. In yesterdays blog, I stated that I was still hungry and might eat again. Well that was an understatement. I ate another plate of salad, three more somewhat small slices of pizza (gluten free), and some dark chocolate. It was a lot of food. They were good choices for the most part but it was a lot of food. I was seriously hungry. And that was the main thing. I was hungry. I did not stuff myself but I did get full–finally.

So the next day I fasted up until my workout. I did my usual 4 mile run. My run was not a great success. I did make the whole 4 miles in under 40 minutes, I had to take a break at the 2 mile mark. I waked and ran another quarter mile. Then being very upset with myself, I ran the remainder. This is what I looked like afterword.

I was really sweaty.

After this I did a HIIT workout. Some stuff on the latter, some jump-rope, and stepper exercises. My legs were killing me.

Now it was time to face the music. I had done everything I could do. I had to get on the scale. I was not expecting it to be too bad but I did expect to gain weight. But I did not. In fact, I was down a pound and a half to two pounds. The number actually hit 204.5 and flickered up to 205. I was elated.

Before I broke my fast I took another picture in my goal shirt. So I’m down six pounds and here are the two pictures side by side. The one on the left is from today.

I finally broke my fast after 22 hours. Had a bunch of chicken and salad. I had a BUNCH of chicken and salad. Also, a little chips and salsa. Low-carb-organic and no GMO.

After dinner I did another workout because I am planning on having a high-carb day tomorrow in the afternoon. So I walked for 15 minutes and did a bit of a shoulder workout. Tomorrow is also a rest day. I really do not like rest days.

Moving Forward With Weight Loss 8/12/16

More good news today. I have lost another pound to pound and a half. The scale was flickering between 207 and 206.5. I am making progress in the right direction. So here is my last 24 hours of eating and exercising.

I had to go to work early this morning so I did not get to the gym until after 3:00 PM. I was going on more than a 24 hour fast. But decided I would workout before I ate.

I ran four miles. I had to take a rest at 3.82 miles. Almost made it to my goal. So disappointing. I walked/ran the remainder of the four miles. I made the whole run in under 40 min. I was pouring sweat. My shirt was completely drenched.

After that I did a chest and bicep workout. My total workout time lasted about an hour and a half.

When I got home I was starving and about fifteen minutes shy of a 26 hour fast. The first things I ate was some carrots and mixed nuts.

Then I was off to the store to buy a salad and a gluten-free pizza. While at the store, I had a cheese sample.

Hardly worth noting but I’m recording everything.

Dinner consisted of a plate of salad, then two pieces of pizza. I was till way hungry. I had one more slice and one more salad.

It’s very interesting that when I take a picture of my food I am almost ashamed of how much I eat. However, I am still hungry. I am not starving so I stopped, but I could still eat more. I do not want to stuff myself, however, I do not want to be hungry either. In light of that, I cannot make any guarantees that I will not eat again tonight. However, if I do, I will take a picture and blog about it tomorrow.

Thanks everyone.

24 Hours Of A Weight Loss Tale 8/11/16

Had another successful day. It was my third day I weighed in at 208. This tells me that this is not just water weight but an actual change in my body. I really hope that I will see the same results tomorrow. However, I do want to see the scale move down some. But I am three pounds from when I started this experiment so I cannot be upset about that. I have to remember thee pounds is a lot when your total goal is no more than fifteen.

So here is what has happened over the last 24 hours. It all started last night at about 1:30 in the morning. I could not sleep so I got up and made somewhat of a bad decision. I had another one of these:

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I feel as though I should not have eaten it. However, like I said in my last post, I have been really hungry the last few nights. And I did only have one and not ten. Which is what I would have done in the past. Anyway, let’s move on.

I got up at about seven in the morning and ran my four miles. I ran 2.6 miles before I needed to take a break. I walked and ran the remainder and finished the entire 4 miles in 40 min. Then I did about an hour of Yoga. The difficult Yoga not just the stretching.

Today was not a fast day because of how much work I do on Thursdays and I am planning a full 24 hour fast. So I will not eat again until tomorrow at 3.

With that in mind, at about 11:00 AM I had a Keto-coffee and two plates of nachos.

A litter later on I did a leg workout. Not very strenuous, just some leg lifts and some calf raises. Then I ate again. It was just before I started my 24 hour fast. Here is what I had:

I had a taco salad. Except I did not eat the shell. My dressing was a bit of the salsa and all the sour-cream. My wife could not finish her omelet so I ate that too. I finished up around three and have not eaten since and do not plan to until tomorrow after 3.

Finally I taught my Martial Arts class. It was about an hour and a half. I was fairly active but not strenuous. Then it was onto my Kick Boxing class. That was strenuous and I left sweating from head to toe.

Thank you everyone for reading. Hope to see you all tomorrow

Daily Weight Loss Update: More Success 8/10/16!!!

Awesome day. It was my second day in a row that I weighed in at 208. So excited. Let’s hope I will see the same or a better number tomorrow.

So instead of listing out the food and then the workout, I thought what I would do is walk you though the last 24 hours and cover both.

Last 24 Hours

It started last night. I was still very hungry so I ate one more half bowl of chili and one more brownie. However, I did not stuff myself. I was just barely satisfied.

I got up this morning at 6 AM and ran my 4 miles. It was not my best time. It took me 41:20 min. There was some walking. Currently I am doing my best to run 3 miles before taking a short break and running the rest of my last mile. I have done this two days in a row. But today; however, I did not make it. I ran about 2 and quarter mile before I needed a break. Then I walked and ran the last mile and three quarters.

After a 17 hour fast, I went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant. The pictures below are self explanatory.

All pretty much low carb. Lots of meat and veggies. However, even though I ate what looks like a significant amount of food, I was still hungry.

Later I went back to the gym and worked on shoulders and back. It was about a half hour workout. Then it was off to Jujitsu for an hour and a half. Awesome class, built up a great sweat. Very exhausting!

Got home and had about a half bowl of turkey stew. It was thickened with cream and rice something or other. No gluten; very low carb.

Dessert was one organic peanut butter-dark-chocolate cup.

A few things in closing. I’m not sure if I’m getting enough food. I know it looks like a lot but I am also working out like crazy and fasting. The reason I say this is that I am still very hungry. Tomorrow is a big workout day. Running, weights, Yoga, Martial Arts. If I meet all my workout goals, and my weight is still in check, I plan on eating a bit more.

We will see you all tomorrow!

Here is what I ate today:

After a 22 hour fast I went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

First I had a big taco salad. No chips, just salad, sour cream, chicken, cheese, and a few other things. Then it was onto veggies and bacon and eggs. Last I made another taco salad, but I used beef this time. However, I only had a few bites and did not finish it.

Eight hours later I had dinner. Just some zucchini, cheese, and meat. A very small plate of it.

Here is my workout:

Ran 4 miles this morning. Then 1 hour Yoga class. Later in the evening I taught JKD for about 2 hours. Then I went to my Jujitsu class for about 1 and a half hours.

Thanks for all the support.
