seventy minutes this evenin,,a new record of one hundred and fifty minutes,,gonna give it all i got and see if i can sstick with the 2adays,,i will know by how i feel in the mornin,,i must stress that im not just goin out here and walkin on level ground,,at least 30 or 40% of my walkin is uphill
First of all, let me congratulate mrhognuts......keep up the good work, you will be at 200 in a short time...now for my story....On October 3, I started my own workout regimen..I tipped the scales at 370, the guys I met at the Bash could attest to that....so I joined the local gym here in Costa Rica and started to get busy...the first 3 weeks were torture but I got thru it...On Nov.3rd I tipped the scales at 338....On Dec.3rd I was down to 308....As of today, I weigh 297...let me explain how it was done....I take no vitamens or no shots, I work out at least 6 days a week...I'm on the treadmill for at least an hour a day and I walk at alternating speeds in the park across from the gym...I have a trainer that assists me three times a week, I am on my own the other four days....so I basically am doing around seven or eight miles a day....luckily I have a strong heart and strong legs....My diet consists of alot of chicken, salads, and fruits, with an occasional slice of pizza...I stay away from all fried foods, sodas, and bread....My goal is 255 by Feb.5th....I feel real good and I believe I can keep the weight off this time...I really forgot how good one feels after a workout...and before I forget, I drink tons of water and have abstained from alcohol for the time being...Soooo mrhognuts, I am with you and continued success to you....
eighty seven minutes this mornin,,viejo you are losin 30 pounds every 30 days!!! you must be haulin the fkn mail,,how far apart do you spread your walks? if this works like i want it to,im gonna walk every 12 hours,,maybe thatll be long enough for my feet and legs to recuperate,,you are so right about the first few weeks,,i would make it back to this lazyboy and pass out before i got my shoes off,,,do you do many hills? veijo,glad to have you along for the ride,keep us up to date on your progress,
sixty seven minutes this evenin,,i went to the forest tonight and for about the last 30 minutes of my walk,i watched the sun go down,what a fkn experience(i do this every evenin i possibly can,,now im goin to get all up in this lazyboy and hope i wont go to sleep before the first half is over,its amazing how little the games mean to me now that im walkin,,i can now admit that many a time i would have took a walk but i could not(WOULD NOT) convince mysef that i would be ok if i missed the 1st half,2nd half etc,,i havent lost all that much weight (yet) but i have gained a new sense of perspective i aint had in 20 yrs,,,IOW THIS SHIT IS WORKIN FOR MRHOGNUTS.
I go straight from the treadmill to the park...there are a few hills in the park but plenty in the streets where I somehow manage...I also set the treadmill at a 5.0 incline at times and do around 15 minutes at that level...talk at you later...and sometimes I walk first and then the treadmill, it depends how good the weather is....
the man,im guessin that i might average 3 mph,however,it is hard to say because my favorite thing to do is look for hills to climb,try and guess at what speed i can walk said hill without stoppin and adjust accordingly,,iow i try and keep my pace as even as possible but it is very difficult to do,,im tryin to walk like im 200 and im 250,i was always a slim person til i stopped drinkin(12 yrs ago) and (smokin(10 yrs ago) i have never adjusted to being so fat.
:fballch3:
seventy five minutes this afternoon,at least 50% hills journey,i had no idea how motivating writin everything down would be,i found that i really looked forward to loggin in, posting my progress and gettin feedback from former and current fellow fat fighters,,viejo,youre movin right along,6.7 miles every dy will get it done,,do you ever take a day off? im not goin to take a break unless i feel like i need one,,if i push the envelope one day i just slow down a little bit the next,,walkin the hills 2nite i became aware of how much stronger i am now as opposed to when i started on nov 22,,im learning that patience and just keepin on keepin on steady as ye go will git er done,,,,ps; my nephew (235)went and paid for both of us a one year membeship at a gym,we are goin to start 2mor and im goin to show him how a fat man does it,,ive got 1 months head start so i think i can kick his ass,,hehehe
fellows,has been a rough week,,ive had 5 shots inthe ass and took every pain pill under the sun,,er 5 times,,have had an outer ear infection and if youve ever had one you know what that means,,i was 3 days short of my goal which was disappointing but im not all that shook up about it,,i honestly did the best i could do and i am ready for a new challenge,ive got keyring card from richmond athletic club with a full year paid up,(no excuses) if the swelling goes down some im gonna get started 2day,i really really miss walkin
finally made it to the gym,i did 30 mnutes @ 2.5 mph @ an incline of 5.0,took a 5 minute break and did 30 more minutes @2.5 mph and an inclne of 7.0,,,i like bein able to adjust my hills,,the gym has everything a person would need to help him lose the fat,,i chatted with the fellow who runs the place and talked with several other folks who looked(in shape)like they knew what they were doin,,one of those places where everybody knows everybody,first impression i got is i will fit in here very well,,,ear is still swollen a bit but i am feelin better evey day,doctor said i should be my old self by saturday,,i know one thing,im enjoyin this percocet,,hehehe
