Another good day!!! 1,600 calories of lean good food. Spent half of the day lifting with maintenance of all the vehicles. Coached little league game. Then I just wrapped up a 20 min run on the small elliptical with 3/4 full resistance. Got two miles, but was a crazy resistance. So tired! Tomorrow is upper body after little league game. Lets see if I can drop 4 lbs this week!!!!! JB

Wow! What a great day! Jogged 2 miles. Then I hit the bike for a 5 mile interval training routine. After that, Deadlifted. Got the 405 even with low caloric intake. Even got to work in abs after the lift! What is in store for tomorrow???? Well, depends on weather. I'm hearing rain, so possible the elliptical for a couple miles.

Day 1! Weigh in...Came in at 227.4. A little lower than I was thinking it would be! Tonight is cardio! Due to the storms being predicted, it will probably be the home elliptical. Cardio is my nemesis, so I got to make these changes!!! Everyone at the meeting was talking smack. It seems that just about everyone has it out for me. FUELS MY FIRE!!!!

Beginning pics to be posted over the weekend.  Does anyone think this an unrealistic goal for this amount of time? Any suggestions? Thanks for reading, Jason Go to BodyBlog

Finally! Looks like I'm able to get a contest put together for my work place. I have a buy in and the money going to the winner for fat loss. My training has been slow since I got the new equipment, but my deads are back up to 405 for about 5 or so reps as a max and my bench is back to about 225. Squat to 315. All this after a year rest. However, I feel that strenght is not the issue. Bodyfat is! That is what the contest is for. So hopefully with others around for support and a weekly weigh in,... Go to BodyBlog
