Man today was rough!

I managed to get weights moving today after a rough morning. I had a little too much to drink yesterday. To be honest I had way too much to drink. The Makers Mark did me in. After I got over the hang over I had a lawn that needed cut and seeded and weeds that needed taken care of. I will consider the 2.5 hours of lawn maintenance as cardio Lol.

But I was able to push and pull through on no energy!

Got out after work and walked a little over 3 miles. It took an hour but it felt great.

I plan on walking on non rainy days until it gets cold again.

[DND1999]

Still going!

Finished Cycle 1 Week 3 (kinda)

Today my back and back of my knees were a little sore. I don't know if it's from the 3 miles I walked yesterday or I slept wrong. So I took it easier than the full light day. I modified today just for the sake of my back. I will go back to normal on Sunday for Week 4 Heavy Day.

Bench - 110 x 10 x 3

I also walked for another 3 miles after work.

I'm still here but I fell off again. I'm not going to get into why fell off. I'm back and the subject line still applies. I will be fit by 40!

Encouraging words will be appreciated on this 51 1/2 week journey for THIS goal.

I moved some weight this morning. It felt good to be back. I'm gonna do 3 Cycles of All Pro's to get started. After that I will move on to something else to keep from getting bored. It will probably be Fierce 5 Novice next for 16 weeks. This is my plan for the next half of a year. I will figure out what to do after that while on this road to 40.

I'm tracking my lifts on a spreadsheet for now. Today was Cycle 1 Week 1.

[DND1999]

Did 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical yesterday and Cycle 1 Week 2 medium day today.

[DND1999]

I'm still going strong working on my goal to be fit by 40! I haven't logged in everyday but I am tracking everything on a spreadsheet and will update my progress from time to time.

I have lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks after the initial water weight loss so far. I have been tracking calories with my food scale and myfitnesspal. Still working on finding my TDEE should know what that is within the next 2 weeks.

The Journey continues!

[DND1999]

Down 5 pounds in 5 weeks and haven't missed a single workout. (pat on my own damn back. lol)

I've been losing a pound a week consistently. Right now my TDEE is coming in at 2500 and I've been eating at 2000 calories to lose a pound a week.

I still have a while to go to get to my goal. 5 weeks down and 47 weeks to go until 40!

[DND1999]

Checking in 13.6 pounds lighter. I have 3.2 percent body fat.

Will be cutting out cardio from the weekend and just have two cardio sessions during the week with three days lifting. I am still running Fierce 5.

23.4 pounds to go to my goal weight and 14.8 percent body fat to lose. I’ll get there!
