Fitness Trials for September 8, 2008

I know, I’m late with this weeks video, but hey blame Youtube, they decided to do maintenance when I was trying to upload for Monday night.

And video…

So there it is. I’ve been trying to stick with things, but I haven’t done great at it. Since hitting my weight goal I’ve noticed that I’ve slacked off on my exercising, and watching what I eat as closely, not to mention the daily posts. So now I have a goal for this week is a simple one, just reducing the gut. No weight goals, no exercise goals, just to reduce the gut. Now in order to meet the goal I’ve set for myself, I’m going to have to exercise to the extreme in each workout. I’m going to have to be meticulous in what I’m eating. Dropping my gut by over half an inch in a week I’m not expecting it to be easy, but I’m going to do my best to reach my goal this week.

I have a confession to make as well. If you follow me on twitter then you will know that I walked out of my house this week to find my car had been broken into, well that coupled with the stress of the day I broke down and had 2 cigarettes on Tuesday September 9, 2008. I didn’t buy them, just bummed them from co-workers. So I fell off the wagon, but I’m hopping back on and going smoke free from here out.

Monday September 8, 2008

A quick update

Ok, ok. I know I said that just because I hit my weight goal that I would still be updating everyday and I haven’t been doing that. I’m sorry, and I’ll try to do better from this point forward. So a quick update for all of you loyal readers, no video this week. I’ll try to get one up next Monday if that’s at all possible. My weight as of this morning was at 183.8 pounds, so that’s good. Still below 185, and I was concerned about that after the holiday weekend, but I managed to keep it down. I took about a week off from push-ups as my elbow was starting to hurt way too much during the process. So I started Week 5 of the 100 Push up challenge again tonight, and it’s amazing how much conditioning I had lost in just a weeks time. I had a hard time doing 20 push ups in a row. I’ve stuck with the couch to 5K and have started week 5 of that program as well tonight. My core exercises are going good, although I have lightened up on them as well. So I’ve had no major improvements in my fitness, and I’ve mostly kept myself at a steady level for 2 weeks. I’m hoping to kick things back into high gear this week and see what I can do to really push myself.
