HHC Day 2 of 61

I feel awesome!!! It is ALWAYS a good feeling when you set out goals and achieve them. My goal for this morning was to simply make it into the garage and do a good cardio workout. It is done! Now for my second goal of the day - to eat 6 small nutritious meals, and drink a minimum of a gallon of water. Easy, cheezy, lemon squeezy!!! Brian...

Healthy Holiday Challenge

Man, this is exactly what I needed at this point and time. I've basically just been going through the motions, with absolutely no focus, and my lack of results shows. In a nutshell, like many I have struggled with weight issues all my life. The best success I have had was back in early 2008 when I lost 30 lbs. My driving factors where that I was recently divorced at the time, and I was going on the 2008 CFL Cruise to Cabo.&...

Good Monday to You!

Good Monday to all my fellow transformers.It's been a great day so far. I got up and did a cardio workout on my Xbox. Yup, that's right Xbox. I own a game called Yourself Fitness that has a virtual trainer that leads you through different exercises. I dug it out the other day and am planning on doing that for cardio on the days that I'm pressed for time and don't have time to drive to the gym. Just FYI - Here in a co...

Friday, Friday

Good Day fellow transformers:It's Friday, which means that this is the 5th straight day that I have made it to the gym! Woohoo!!!! It's the simple things in life which make me happy! Things are going well. I did my assignment # 4 the other day, and plan on working on 5 & 6 over the weekend. A cold front is coming through so it looks like the perfect opportunity to build a fire and snuggle up to a notebook for some...

Hump Day!

It's Wednesday, which means that this will be the third consecutive workout this week. Yeah!!! The week is off to a great start. I have put in some cardio the past two days, and will lift my upper body this morning. I am working out at a new gym this week. I joined the YMCA that is about 8 miles away, only to find out that there is one about 4 miles away in the opposite direction. So, I have been working out at...

Assignment # 4

Bill's assignment # 4 is to find our purpose, or what I like to term as the "Why"? After all, that really is the question isn't it? Why do I want to embark on a fitness journey? Why do I want to get up early in the morning to exercise when I would rather be sleeping? Why do I want to eat nutritious food in place of food that taste really good but is bad for me? Why?To replace complaints with complement...

How Many Times Can One Start Over?

How many times can one start over? As many as it takes!Why am I still here? I stepped on the scale yesterday morning to see just how much damage I've been doing to my body in just a couple of weeks of poor eating and no exercise. I find myself in almost the same position I was a year ago. So in essence, everything I had worked for this past year is gone. All that time spent on the cardio machines, all ...

Wonderful Wednesday

What a great day it is to be alive!It's mid week, otherwise known as hump day! I'm waiting for the coffee to brew and then it's off to the gym for a kick butt cardio session! This has been a really great week as far as nutrition, exercise, and mindset goes. I'm just plugging along 1 day at a time. I've hit most of my goals so far for the week. Some I won't know about until Sunday!Hope everyone has a wonderful day!You...

Another Day

Good Morning:Today begins a new day, and a new opportunity to make great changes in my life. I spent the better part of yesterday morning putting together a motivation board. On it I have put my Mission Statement (see below), along with goals for this week, and goals for next week. Also, I have my workout schedule for the next two weeks listed so I can mark them off. I also set down and put together a daily planning sheet....

Mid Week Check Up

Good Morning Transformers:Just a little mid week check up here. I've missed my workouts the past two days, due to my desire to sleep in over getting out of bed to workout. Not this morning. I made sure I got to bed at a reasonable hour, and set the alarm to get up and out of bed. I will be heading off to the gym here in a bit to get in my cardio workout for the day!Yours in Metal Health,BrianMeal Plan:M1: Myoplex Lit...

Monday, Monday

Good Morning Transformers:I've MUST figure out a way to deal with weekends. I did so great last week with my nutrition, only to see it go down hill on the weekend. I understand the concept of a free DAY, but this one was a free weekend. I simply have to plan a bit better on the weekends, and then stick to that plan.Speaking of plans, I made my life a little easier yesterday. I renewed my Sam's Club membership, and bought a...

No Brownies for Me!

Good Morning Transformers:Yesterday I was in a training seminar all day. I had planned ahead and brought me a myoplex shake and a banana for the afternoon. Well, in the afternoon the hotel where the training occurred put out trays and trays of big ol brownies. I just walked right past them and to the room where the next training was to happen. Now, I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in one of them, but I kept t...

Rain, Rain Go Away

Good Morning Transformers:Well I got up this morning at 2:30 am OMG! Couldn't sleep, but finally forced myself back to bed at 4:00 am. I had my alarm set for 5:00 to go lift this morning. The alarm went off, and I woke up at 5:30 am! So, I didn't have time to go lift, so I thought well I will go for a run on the track by my house. What's that sound? Crud, it's pouring down rain! I was just about to call it quit...

What a blessed day!

Yesterday I was able to hit all my meals, even the ones at work that are difficult to hit. The only challenge was that M4 was a bit later than scheduled. But Hey, it's progress not perfection, right! This morning I'm off to do another day of cardio. My hope is that my lower back won't start hurting again like it did yesterday morning. I only got in 25 mins of jogging/walking, and was shooting for 45 mi...

Renewed Enthusiasm

Good Morning Transformers:It is Monday morning and another opportunity to make it a great week. I don't know if you caught my weekly video blog from yesterday about the how food can become like a master in our lives. This is the one area of my past challenges that haunts me the most. I can do fine for a few days, and then drop off. The basic reason I believe is that I don't have a strong enough reason for why I am doing th...

What happened this week?

Well I started a new job this week and it threw off my scheduling that I did have going on at the time. I figured out by weeks end that I have got to figure out a new schedule for my nutrition, and especially water at work. Let me explain a bit better - I started a new job this past week and due to the nature of the job getting to eat meals M2 and M4 are bit difficult, and drinking lots of water as well. It's not impossibl...

Another day, Another Opportunity

Good Morning Transformers:Well, yesterday did not go exactly as planned on my nutrition side. The new job had going non-stop such that I totally missed my M2 and M4 meals. Simply did not have time for them. I may well have to end up having to make up my myoplex shakes ahead of time so that I can just grab one out of the fridge and drink it on the go.First day on the job was fun. After being out the practice of law for the ...

Start of a New Day

Good morning fellow transformers:Today is the start of a new day. Today I begin a new job, and have renewed enthusiasm towards my transformation. For me it is easier to stay on task when I don't have a lot of idle time on my hands. Guess that old adage about Satan and idle time is true to an extent.Anyway, I was watching the video's that DUDE put up, and drawing some ideas from that I decided that I wanted to start blogging dail...
