Thank You Robert and Karen..

Again didn't go to the gym but used the equipment I have at home.I thought it went well.Did some Goblet Squats and they didn't give me to much of a problem so I will keep doing these as I get my lower body ready to start doing heavier weights in a few months.

I sent an email and haven't gotten a reply either..I guess to me it doesn't matter the real prize is staying accountable and encouraging other as well..

Push Day Only did three exercises as i was running out of time and had to get to work.Again with overtime I just used my Dumbbells at home instead of going to the gym.. DB Bench Press 30x20,30x20,40x12,40x12,40x16,40x16 DB overhead Press 5x40x12 Tricep Ext. 4x40x12 took about 30 minutes to do, finished that up and took 25 minutes to walk to work..Diet was off today still finishing everything up that i have in the cupboards than i will..than it is on to mostly raw food(probably 70% raw)..we will see.

maybe a little fast might help?

http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-17965644003626/demobwr.jpg I have had this piece of equipment for awhile now so I thought it was about time I used it I did some inverted rows on it, Actually i might start doing some running in place drills on this as well..tried it for a minute and got a little sweat going in that short of time and didn’t really bother my achilles or my knee..by holding onto the the handles and running seemed to ease some of the stress on my hurting parts Pull Workout Dumbbell Deadlift 1x50x12, 3x60x10, 1x60x9 Dumbbell Rows 4x60x10 Bicep Curls 5x30x10 Dumbbell Shrugs 1x60x20, 2x70x20,1x70x12 Bodyweight Row (UltimateBodyPress) 2x7 Didn't have time for the gym today so I tried to do everything using Dumbbells..it is wierd cause it seems the 30lb db's at the gym seem heavier than my home ones..hmm? anyways everything went well..probably should have added 10 lbs to my Curls, the shrugs i am just working my way into them so the high rep will continue until I add more weight.took about 30-40 minutes.... Cardio Walked to work 1.3 miles Still have to get into the habit of logging my food.wasn't to bad today.

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26483 I am not going to get into detail about my summer from hell but 2012 is a week away so I am going to post these pics because I need to motivation to improve myself.Gaining almost 40 pounds the last 7-8 months is kind of stressful.binge eating on junk food, soda and all that crap has to stop..Time to Kick My Ass! So sit back and watch as i make a second attempt of becoming the fittest and healthiest I have ever been...I will make a habit of posting pics the last week or so of the months.stay tuned... 12-25-2011 http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p79/jbrickzin/wieghtloss%20for%202012/12-25-2011c.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p79/jbrickzin/wieghtloss%20for%202012/12-25-2011b2.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p79/jbrickzin/wieghtloss%20for%202012/12-25-2011a.jpg

Just Did Power 90 Sweat 3-4, so got my cardio in for the day...got legs tomorrow at the gym.... Nutrition not bad, not great..work in progress...

Well got up and got my Push workout in the books for today.I was pretty sore from doing the p90x Kenpo video yesterday but wasn't working my legs so i didn't really care I thought today's workout went really well, weighed myself this morning.I didn't like what i saw but wasn't surprised because of my junk food habit lately and really being lazy as well.I am also going to start logging in my food intake at Livestrong to hold myself more accountable on the nutrition front. Morning Weight 234.4 Fat % 28.9 (handheld thing at the gym) BMI 33.2 (handheld thing at the gym) obviously these are pathetic numbers but i ain't going to fuss to much about it because it was expected.With my injury, than the surgery to correct it and the stress I have been under ever since then..I just have to snap out of the self absorbing brooding behavior I have been in.2012 is upon us and this will CHANGE!! Strength Overhead Press 1x55x12, 5x65x5 Bench Press 1x55x12, 1x75x5, 3x80x5 Tricep Dips on bench modified 3x10 Tricep Ext on Machine 1x60x12, 1x70x10 Modified Push Ups 1x10, 1x9 Cardio Walked 2.3 Miles at about 2.5-3.0 MPH. The Food Log have it all planned out! that's a first... Meal One Red bull, 2 Bananas and Kombucha Multi-green (390 calories) Meal Two 16 oz Hemp Milk, 1 scoop Sunwarrior warrior blend, Sunwarrior Ormus Green (342 calories) Meal Three Amy's Low Salt Lentil Soup (375 calories) Meal FourNaked Juice Green Machine, 2 Bananas (490 calories) Meal Five Veggie Tray (everyone else is eating meatballs and all that stuff ) (guessing under 100 calories) Meal Six Almond Milk and 1 scoop of Sunwarrior Warrior Blend (262 calories) 1900 calories, 25g fat, 362g Carbs, 75g protein, 31g fiber probably have a couple beers today too so that should push me to about 2100-2200 calories....

looking good Andrea..

I ended up doing Kathryn Budig Aim True Yoga I did about 15 minutes i was going to do the whole thing but it got rather difficult because of the knee bend movements and all that so i stopped and did P90x KenpoX...surprisingly it went pretty good, Had trouble with the switch the feet punches because of the jumping part (ended up just doing them the regular way without the jumping)..hardest part was the yoga because my flexibility is shit right now, but i will get there..I will be doing Crow pose before too long Dietwise was a mix of good and bad.much better than yesterday had some organic chips and salsa, 5 bananas, about 30 oz of hemp milk with 2 tablespoons of Sunwarrior Ormus Green and 1 scoop of Sunwarrior warrior blend protein and a couple of Larabars...it is a start i need to get more raw food in but i have a bunch of soups and frozen dinners and stuff to get through first..plan is to go mostly raw food by spring time.I am going to start my own garden in the spring, couldn't do it this year because of my surgery but i am determined to do a 180 change in my lifestyle choices in 2012..especially the diet and exercise part of it.

lol@the kale... I brought in kale chips once, the shit i got for eating stuff that's natural..especially when the crap is coming from someone eating grounded up pig guts in a condom

Than again the push workout i can do at home with dumbbells too, we shall see...

12-22-2011 workout Pull workout Bike warmup for 7 minutes. Deadlifts 135x5,145x5,145x5, 155x5,135x5 DB Rows 4x30x10, 30x8 DB Bicep Curls 30x7,30x5,30x5, 20x10 Shrugs 35x10,35x12 Assisted Pullups 195x10,180x6, 165x5 Rowing machine 5 minutes at the end. Also walked home from the movie theater (aprox 3 miles) Diet today is meh since i was out all day.I have had like 5 Bananas, some Popcorn at the movie (no butter) I am going to have some Hummus with Naan Bread for dinner so that should boost my calorie intake..overall not a good day diet wise but I thought it went well with the Fitness part. I am going to have to hit the gym Saturday for the Push exercises since they are closed Sunday because of Christmas.

As far as the lifting goes, i am going to keep it simple.substitute Leg presses for Squats for now.My knee is stilloff and the press doesn't seem to bother it as much.I will definetly change it back to Squats when i feel it is right.Since i am picking the weight off the ground rather than having it on my shoulder, I will keep the Deadlifts.I will keep this program over the winter, add this and the walking i do and I got some Yoga DVD's i am going to start doing too.It should help with the rehab I have been slacking on the last couple months. plus this is the program i am going to do with the 12 days of Christmas thing Robert has going on... DAY 1 – PULL Deadlifts Dumbbell Rows Bicep Curls DAY 2 – PUSH Flat Barbell Bench Press Barbell Shoulder Presses Tricep Dips (bench version for now) DAY 3 – LEGS Leg Press Barbell Stiff Leg Deadlifts Calf Raises (3x12) Crunches and/or Hanging Leg Raises
