Fat Man Unleashed’s BodyBlog

It’s that time again! Yep, my official weekly weigh-in. Guess what folks? I lost 7.2 lbs since my last official weigh-in. At that time I clocked in at 314 lbs, this morning I was at 306.8 lbs. I finally passed my goal of 5 lbs. lost. I am on track to be under 300 lbs for the first time in a very, very long time. It’s one of my mini-goals. Here is the my current weight loss chart. I am also back to my lowest weight of 303.6 lbs in December of 2007.

Workout-wise I still have the same uplifted, powering tempo when I lift, run and bike. I tend to want more, but I know when enough is enough. Sometimes you need to tell yourself to stop so that your body can be able to do it again the next day. Today I was able to crank more reps out easier than I have been able to in the past. I am feeling stronger, which is good. I like lifting heavy enough to go to 8 to 10 reps. Anything above that is too light. I should be able to add some more weight to my lifts next week.

Calorie-wise I am consuming from 1200 to 1500 calories a day. It depends on if it’s a lift day or a cardio day. I get the majority of my calories from protein. I keep it low carb and fat for now. I don’t plan to do this for the rest of my life, only until I reach my ideal weight and sculpt. Once I do that, I am thinking of just eating a certain amount of calories per day (from 1500 to 2000), without focusing too much on where they come from (I may change my mind on this in the future). I can read my body pretty well and I know when it’s telling me things. Does that make any sense to you, it does to me?

I weighed myself on Monday after my first cleanse day on the 30 day Isagenix program and was 311 lbs. Since starting my Isagenix program I have lost 7.2 lbs. I am looking forward to the rest of the program. I am feeling really good during the day, full of energy before, during and after my workouts. All good news so far. I try to get in morning workouts, but when I don’t I make up for it in the afternoon. I am also doing two workouts a day about 3 days a week. Normally I would feel burnt out by 7 PM, but I haven’t been feeling like that lately.

Something cool that I plan on doing is training on the weekends with my cousin. He is planning on joining the Marine Corps. He is a totally out of shape skinny, flabby guy. I am looking forward to posting progress photos as I train him in the core Marine exercises.
