There is not a lot to report today. I was not able to get an accurate weigh in because my time at the gym was short lived. After my incredibly difficult and exhaustive workout yesterday, I did not have much in my tank today. I got to the gym at about 6:30 AM with every intention of running at least 4 miles. But I was so sore all I could get out of myself was a quarter mile.

I went to work where I am on my feet all day with every intent to go back to the gym after. But again, I was way too tired. I came home and crashed out.

After I woke up, I managed to get some push ups in before dinner. About 100 altogether.

Had a great dinner but I did not make it a full 24 hours. I made it 21 1/2 hours. Pretty good but now what I wanted to accomplish. I finished eating early because I fully intend to go 24 hours without eating. Here are the pictures of what I ate.

Tomorrow is my final weigh in for the week. I will also be posing in my goal shirt whether I have made progress or not. Wish me well.

Unfortunately I have bad news on two major issues. First off the scale is up a pound and a half. I weighed in at 207.5 today. But I did have a lot of sugar last night so it was to be expected.

Another problem was that I did not get to run today. I got kicked in the leg last night in class. I really did not think much of it when it happened. And it really did not hurt that much until I tried running this morning. Instead I lifted weights. I did a chest and bicep workout.

Later today, I went back to the gym and tried to run again. Still could not do it. I decided to get in the pool for a while and let my leg rest. I really hope I can run tomorrow. I’m thinking of taking on another mile.

For food today I fasted for about twenty hours. Then I had a feast of salad and meat. Here are the picks.

So that is all for today. Hope things go better tomorrow.

48 Hours Of A Weight Loss Tale 8-16-16

Sorry everyone for not posting the last couple of days. Sunday was a cheat and rest day so there was not much to tell. I did not workout and in the afternoon I ate whatever I wanted. Except I did not have any gluten. I’m really trying to stay away from the stuff and I cannot express how much better I feel off of gluten.

In fact, carb cycling has been a big part of my weight-loss journey. And when I have a carb night with gluten I feel like crap the next day. But Sunday I had a lot of carbs but no gluten, but I did not get that sick feeling. So its been more than a week without gluten and I think I’m going to be able to go the whole 30 days.

So on Monday I expected to be a bit heavier. It always happens after a big carb and rest day. You just hold onto water. But I did not do too bad. I started the week at 207.5 and today I weighed in at 206! So down a pound already.

My exercise for Monday went really well. I was able to run 3 miles without stopping. Only walked about a quarter of a mile then ran the rest. Also did an hour of Yoga, and hit 15 miles on a bike. And I’m not done. I completed a chest and bicep workout. Finally, later in the day, I taught my Martial Arts class.

I ate a taco salad (no shell) for lunch. And a lot of chicken for dinner. I’m not going to post any pictures this time.

Today I was able to run 3 and a quarter mile before I had to walk a little. Still did 4 miles on under 38 min! That was in the morning.

I had about a 17 hour fast and broke it with a salad and some corn chips. After work, I went to the gym and did a light shoulder and back workout. Also, I walked a bit.

I did not make all great decisions for dinner. Chicken, rice, a few pieces of dark chocolate, two rice crispy treats. I punished myself by going to kickboxing and working as hard as I could. Anyway, I never know if it is going to effect my weight the next day. I really don’t eat much for the amount I workout.

I’ll try my best to take pictures tomorrow. Thanks everyone.

24 Hours of Weight Loss 8/13/16

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: My Personal Best 7/9/16

Awesome news! I hit my personal best today in my weight. Yesterday I weighed 211 and today I weighed in at 208! So excited.

What I Ate

Today I had a 17 hour fast before I ate some veggies and a keto-coffee.

I only had about half the veggies. I’m going to guess that it was the equivalent of one full carrot and two full stocks of celery. Later I had one more keto-coffee.

Then for dinner I had two half bowls of chili (one full bowl). Along with some organic-non-GMO corn chips. Also one small brownie (gluten free).

Exercise

Today I ran 4 miles. I ran 3 before I needed a rest. I walked about a quarter of a mile and ran the rest of the fourth mile. It took me under 40 min altogether.

Then I worked chest and biceps. Presses, curls, butterflies, all kinds of stuff. Took about 25 min.

I’m still a little hungry so I might have some more food before the night is over. If I do I will post about it tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your support.

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.

Trying to Lose Those Last 10 Pounds

It’s truth time everyone. This is a picture of me in a skin-tight t-shirt.

I took this picture yesterday, I have just turned 43. I’m disappointed in some respects because I have not hit my goal weight yet. While I am down a good 90 pounds from where I was, I still need to lose 10 to 15 more pounds. Currently I weigh 211. I weighed just this morning. My personal best weight was 209. I’d like to get down to 199–below 200 if that is possible.

So what am I going to do about it? My resolve is to try to lose this weight in the next 30 days. I will be posting everyday and being accountable to you my readers. I will be posting the following things:

My daily weight.
What I ate and when.
My daily workouts.

So a few words before I start this experiment. First off I want to talk about my diet. I pretty much follow the Warrior Diet. I fast daily between 19 to 24 hours. Also, while my carb count is lower than the standard American diet, I do have a few more carbs than a strict low-carb diet. This is due to the fact that I work-out a ton and I do have some blood-sugar issues. However, I am going to be dialing back how much I eat and the amount of carbs i eat. I will be uploading the pictures of the food I eat along with a description so I cannot lie to myself about it. Truth be told, I have too many cheat meals and I want to stop. Along with that, I do plan on having a free night once a week. But it will be scheduled and it will be my ONLY cheat night.

Let’s address the workouts. I normally run about 4 miles 3 times a week. I also do Yoga, Martial Arts, and Weights along with other activities. But I’m going to be bumping a few things up. I’m going to attempt to run 4 miles 5 days a week. I also will be bumping up my weight lifting. The Martial Arts and Yoga probably will not change that much. But I will be posting what I did along with pictures so you can judge for yourself.

So please help me by reading and sharing this blog, and also leaving me any comments. Thanks

Eian.
