I ran my first 5k on Saturday, I did ok for not ever really being a runner. The funny part is I was 40lbs bigger then everyone else in the race. But I did very well as far as where i want to be. I finnished in the top half. But I am determined to knock off several mins. (always room for improvement)!!! and i also need time for the 3 inch blister to heal on my foot.
Today i am back to lifting and cutting down some more, i got my new sups and motivation is back.

“Fat loss is an all-out war. Give it 28 days — only 28 days. Attack it with all you have. It’s not a lifestyle choice; it’s a battle. Lose fat and then get back into moderation. There’s another one for you: moderation. Revelation says it best: ‘You are lukewarm and I shall spit you out.’ Moderation is for sissies.”
Dan John
I have read an interesting little article about the word medium. Are you a medium guy or girl?? What i am getting at is if someone described you would they say your are medium build or height or strength. Personally I would hate to be described as that. I (as well as some of you) strive to be abnormal. i want to be stronger then the average person, i want to be able to outrun or out think people, it is the competitive side of me.
The other side of this is what makes you separate yourself from the medium people. I feel it is two things that change this.
1. Motivation
2. Dedication.
Yes they are separate, motivation is what drives you, your goals the reason you attack the weights and the reason you run for miles.
Dedication is (in my mind) the ability to force yourself to put forth that effort with or without motivation.
one or the other can get you in alright shape but the combination of both will make you the athlete you strive to be.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately, what is an athlete, or more importantly what type of athlete do i want to be??? I have been the power lifter benching 405 lbs and i have competed in competitions on several occasions. but now since i have started cardio and changed my outlook on my goals i want to consider the option of endurance training, yes that means triathlon. I have been decent at distance running my whole life but never considered it an option.
Oh well i guess it will give me something to look forward too. anyway, today is another day where i work my butt off and then run the rest off when i get off work.

yesterday i ran my butt off, i ran 4 miles and enjoyed every min of it. I had no clue 2 months ago to a good run would give me so much energy, i am wired when i get home crazy stuff.
Today i am going to hit up 4 more miles and that should do me some good, i am in a position i have never been in before, i love it.
So i need to buy some new protein if any of you have any opinions let me know i will order later today

Woke up this morning and i am down a little more, i have never had this type of weight loose, it is falling off and i am loving it. Everything in my life is great, i am kicking butt in every aspect.
The workout is great, cardio is getting easy. I am suprised every day when i start running and i dont have to stop after 10 mins. I am also getting back some of my strength. (i just dont want to gain weight)
Work is also great, i am busy (and yes i like to be busy) and i have had an interview this past week, and i have another at the end of the month.
Needless to day I cant be better, I am kicking butt and taking names…! ! !

I got down to my goal last week, so last weekend i treated my body to a well deserved couple of days off. and it didnt hurt me what so ever. I went out with the guys and had some unhealthy food and a drink or two. but since i got that out of my system i am ready to get down to 200lbs, 6 lbs isnt that much and i plan on getting there within 2 to 3 weeks. I am doing a crazy cardio workout and i am lifting again, not too heavy but enough to get sore and maybe get a little bit of muscle size back.
I have also made a plan to get completly out of dept. not that i have that much but i want everything paid off by next summer. a new me will be here and i am very dedicated to this.

Ok i am there, after a months of running and more running I got down to 206.0 even. Now i need to change my goals and figure out what i want to do next.
As far as everything else goes, I am tired and stressed. I spent the weekend in the state capital going through swimming and phical testing. i passed and glad i dont have to go back for awhile. the stressful part is i am also the president of a little club here in my area, and i probably have to kick out a member. ohh well shit happens.
Ok enough of that, today is a new day that i will run and lift, and maybe just maybe catch up on some sleep.

I woke up this morning and weighed myself, i was 206.4 my goal by tomorrow was 206.0 but i am very happy.
If some of you keep track of my blog you would know why i was loosing weight in the first place, i applied for a job and there is a phyical requirment and i drive 4 hours tomorrow morning to test for this job. Witch reminds me DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH TREADING WATER. I am a great swimmer i was on a team for years but i guess my body fat is so low i sink like a rock when i go to tread water. ohh well have a great one and i hope all of you kick ass today.

Yesterday I ran 3.5 miles and i am wore out. I have been working my cardio up slowly and i feel by next week i will be running 4 or 5 miles a day. Anyway the good news is i hit a new point in my weight loss. I am 206.8 ! ! ! a new low i havent been that low since high school. anyway, i feel like i can keep going, till i get 200 or maybe even further. After i reach my goal of 206 i will concentrait on building my muscle up that i have lost when i decided to drop the weight. I do no forsee any issues with this and it should be a quick turn around.

I havent wrote any blogs this week, but I have put together a great collection of ideas for you today.
First of all i want to start with how my progress is going. As of this morning I am stuck at 207lbs and that is pissing me off. I have had several bumps in the road this week. Like a birthday this week, I had to eat my ass off. Hey you only turn 24 once. But i have been doing my cardio and trying to do what i can to get down in weight.
That leads to my title message. A GREAT!!! friend of mine, that i would even consider an expert in the sport of bodybuilding. Made a comment to me yesterday that made me think. I told him i wouldn’t mind getting down to 195 and maintain that weight, he said that he didn’t think i would look right with that weight. I want to say that i can get there. The only issue i have found is will power. I am dedicated enough to get there. So admit i will get to 200 by July and 195 a few weeks later, i am too damn close to give up now.
Cardio- i have been running my ass off, getting up in the mornings and running a mile or two. I have been getting used to this and i enjoy it now, i would have never thought that i would be in that position before. i hope to get at least 3 miles a day.
Ok the challenge i have now is to get through the weekend without gaining, I want to say that it is easy for me to get though the weekend without going out with friends or family and not eat a boat load but if i never said this before but mama is a great cook and i hate to pass up on some great food. (this goes back to will power).
Ok time to start working and also get my mine in the right place for the day ahead. have a wonderful Friday the 13 and don’t work too hard.
