Week 34 and photos

I haven't had a Coke since September 23 (or 24th I can't remember) - approx 5.5 months or so.

I've been working out at least 4x a week for a while now (8 weeks?). I haven't lost a lot of weight. I have lost a lot of size... which is better to me. I've been doing 60 mins on my stationary bike and 45 min strength workout daily for up to 6 days a week. I've been eating close to 1200-1400 calories a day and eating good pre and post workout. I haven't had a tastykake or anything like that in 3 weeks (?) now. I feel really good - a bit stressed about job, school, family, hobbies... but really good overall.

I am not hitting my weight loss goals. I was supposed to be between 262 and 266. I'm about 8 pounds off right now. I can probably make that happen by Friday - I'd rather have my belly drop in size another half inch... we'll see.

W1D0 - BABC

This is the start of my final run at becoming healthier. I'm not going to add much of anything to the previous post. I will say that I bought Shaun-T's Cize... I can't dance. However, I've decided to do something that I hadn't thought of before; I'm going to record my workouts, especially those doing Cize. If I record the workouts then I'll have an exact record of what I did do and when I'm done. Then I'll be able to take the footage and show what I looked like starting and what I am able to do when I'm done. Below is the basic plan. It's not complicated. The hardest part is going to be getting started. Once I've started then this plan won't stop... For me, it's like the walk before you start jogging or running. There's a point where you're already walking and where you need to be to do your jog/run and then you pick up the pace and your feet move faster and then you're jogging/running. After that, you don't stop because you're already going.

5 min pull-up plan every hour from 8am to 5 pm
Cize w Shaun t daily
Pull-up Program/Feel Good Full Body schedule daily
Ride bike 30-60 min during morning phone call
Eat correctly following Badass Body recommendations
Drink a minimum of 8 8oz glasses of water
Meditation or Tai Chi and some Yoga
write in blog - weigh daily; measurements once a week; pictures every 2 weeks

Today, the first day consists of doing the first videos and recording what I can currently do. This includes: pull up, plank, dips, cize, photos, and measurements. I'll do a comparison with previous results, but only to show the backslide not in reference to this start. In the last 5 months I've gone from 260-265 back up to 285 and my size has gotten back up (which we'll see below in the table of comparisons). Essentially, I'm starting over - the measurements and pics will show just how starting over I'm going to be. I find the following chart to be interesting.

photo time

I thought it was time to update the photos. I've been juicing for 43 days and no coke for 44 days. I have noticed a lot of difference in my size, now it's time to see what that size looks like.

I copied the last post about photos with comparisons so I could put all of these side-by-side with todays.
