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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

Hey peeps it is Thursday eve and I am finally getting to this post. Just had my late night snack which was some pineapple with cottage cheese and almonds. Had to substitute the almonds for coconut milk, can’t find it around here. Took today off from the gym but did get a walk in at lunch to help...

Today is a scheduled day off but I just rejoined my karate club so guess what, it’s another night in the dojang and day 5 straight of working out. That is definitely creeping into over training and that would very much explain my fatigue right now. Tomorrow is supposed to be a lifting night but...

Can you believe only 9 days left? These 3 weeks have just flown by and before you know it my daily words of wisdom (LOL) will cease. Tonight I’ve had one of the worst workout’s while on this program. My muscles and joints are still in shock from last night’s class and fatigue is an...

Wow day 20 already seems like I just started this program 3 weeks ago, LOL. Coming into the homes stretch and what a way to take it up a notch then to start back into the martial arts. Tonight was my first night back in the Korean Art of Tang Soo Do. Got too caught up catching up with old friends that...
