So Long and Thanks for all the Fish – A Retrospective
Confused about the title? I figured as much, it’s the title from one of my favorite books. My scale on Saturday morning was 238 so we had a total loss of 14 in the 30 day study, outstanding by any measurement.
Coming from workouts that are most commonly done in any health club across the US which isolate each muscle from multiple angles with multiple sets of reps based on the goal of the workout. More reps/lighter weights for weight loss, medium weights/fewer reps for toning and definition,...

This is IT – Day 30...
Well I made it, day 30, yaaaaaaaaay. Not much sleep again last night and an early morning today. Was pretty whooped at work all day and trying to tie up all the loose strings today since I am on vacation next week. Thanks to a scoop of no-xplode I was able to get 20 minutes of hill running in at the health club followed by a 10 minute cool down of hill walking. Treat day at work again and somebody...

Is it Friday yet? – ...
Remember that two hour nap I took last night? Well it did mess up my sleep last night and so today was a struggle to get through work. Thankfully a B – complex and a scoop of no-xplode before my workout woke me up and energized me for a couple hours to get through the workout. Now I am crashing fast and hard so this will be a quick post tonight.
Everything went as planned today nutritionally...

In the Home Stretch –...
Sorry no post yesterday but Hawkeye basketball took precedence as does any Hawkeye athletic event when I have free tickets. Didn’t get home last night until 12:30 and my alarm went off at 4:21 this morning. Needless to say I didn’t go to karate tonight. Instead I came home and took a two hour nap, now I probably won’t be able to fall asleep in the next hour.
Wasn’t a good boy...

Just another Monday –...
I used to really enjoy Monday’s when they were a day off from working out but now it’s an hour in the dojang. Tonight’s class wasn’t too bad early warm-ups were adequate, I guess. Did get some partner work to review some kick counters and self-defenses. I got to work with an old friend which was kind of nice, I may have played a little rough but I was full of energy tonight.
My...

Feeling a little Juggalo &...
I slept in today until about 8am getting over 8 hours of sleep for a change and did it feel good. That all meant I didn’t get to the gym and working out until about 11ish. I started with high intensity elliptical for about 3 1/2 miles in 25 minutes then after sufficiently warming up, for a change, i moved over to the treadmill where I thought I would see how my knee is really doing. I ran some...

Back to it – Day 25...
Scale this morning was 236.8, that’s a good thing and I got my pound for the week. Surprised the sh!t out of me. Today I am back to the gym for the first time since Tuesday night. Pretty good workout today, didn’t lose any strength being out that long but I did struggle with a few. I mentioned that my knee felt good yesterday, it felt great today until I did squats. Second one I felt a...
