Half way there But a long way to go

MrDawnMarie · 01-02-2007, 05:56 PM

My goal is to loose 60 lbs. I started at 242lbs and I want to get to 180lbs. I lost about 30 before I started this journal but I saw how much it helped my wife meet her goals with her amazing transformation so I thought it might help me as well. My main goal is to loose fat but I don't want to loose any muscle in the process. Currently I am 210lbs and I have dropped from wearing a relaxed fit 42 inch waist to a regular fit 36.

Some personal info--I am 35 years old. Also, I am a father of two great boys and married to the love of my life...DawnMarie. I am a Gulf War Vet(the first one) and a Steelers fan! I also like racing (NHRA).

Yesterday I started off the new year with some weights and today I only got in 25 minutes on the elliptical (but it was a good 25 minutes) before work.

Today I did good with the food, under 2000 calories(40% protein). I am going to be bad and have a few beers--football game is on!

Keep it up!!

DawnMarie · 01-03-2007, 02:37 PM

I hope so cause it's almost time!...tick-tock

BTW - Where's today's update? slacker?

MrDawnMarie · 01-03-2007, 05:50 PM

Thanks for watching!

Today was tough because some dumb a@# stayed up too late watching football...so running on about 4 hours of sleep today was better than I thought it would be.

Before work I only had about 20 minutes so got in three weight exercises:

reverse curl 4x15 15lb dumbell
preacher curl 4x15 30lb dumbell
pulldown 4x15 60lb

so it wasn't much but better than nothing.

After work was the great spin off!! I felt great and pushed it. It was a 1 hour spinning class. I will have to give her a get out of wimp jail free card because she still isn't feeling perfect yet....so I will be nice and say it was a draw!

Did good with the food again today. under 2000 with 43% protein.

Now maybe I will get more sleep tonight...

Hour spinning! Your nuts doing ok?

MrDawnMarie · 01-03-2007, 07:21 PM

I can't even bring myself to go into SC's log anymore... every time I open a post my eyes are assaulted by naked man flesh. CJ ruined that log for me... lol.

Women posing sexy = sexy

Guys posing sexy = goofy and ghey

SPACECLOWN · 01-04-2007, 08:56 AM

This is a man log. We should be able to post titties, scratch our nuts, fart and talk ****. It's mandatory and I think a forum rule

DM - She will always win, she has jugs

MM - She is behaving more. She is starting her own log this weekend to keep the ***gotry out of my log.

MrDawnMarie · 01-04-2007, 05:05 PM

My old one cracked and I got a new one but I had to get it drilled...bowling ball!!!

Well I did get up fairly early after a long hump day....

Got in 30 minutes of cardio before work on the elliptical.
I did do good on the food but I did have a beer while my ball was being drilled...

Friday eve is almost done and so am I!!

SPACECLOWN · 01-04-2007, 05:44 PM

Good job busting out the cardio. Hope your ball is ok

You drink much beer? If so try cutting it down. I used to tip a few back and when I quit I started dropping weight pretty fast.

MrDawnMarie · 01-04-2007, 05:53 PM

I have cut the beer back but I know I can do better. Football season is almost over...that is the worst time. The weight does move much faster when I don't have any. Thanks! Nice Jugs!

Great job this morning!

The ball cracking and drilling story sounded even funnier when my Mom was asking me (in shock) what we were talking about on the phone!!

LOL Nothing like hearing your mom-in-law ask about that!

MrDawnMarie · 01-05-2007, 03:40 AM

Didn't get up early enough... got in a little before work

Bench 1x15 100lbs

DawnMarie · 01-05-2007, 06:04 AM

Doing something is much better than doing nothing!

Don't worry about those days too much. Just try to get the most out of each set.
