Day Eighty-Seven

I worked out for another 2 hours today... making that big push the last weekend before my day 90 weigh-in on tuesday. Im so beat, which should help me sleep better, which will be good since I wanna get up early tomorrow and get a hike in before my regular workout.

Day Eighty-Six

I'm gearing up for the next phase of my workouts... I had to get some new running shoes, a heart monitor, a medicine ball, etc. I can't wait till I start running! The weather's perfect, it'll be great to get outdoors and great to change up my routine. For now I have to figure out the specifics of interval training and the best way to get in better shape to run a half-marathon in 8 weeks.

Day Eighty-Five

I put on size 36 pants today! I havent been size 36 in at least 3 or 4 years! I started at size 42 so this means Ive dropped about 3 sizes already!

WEEK TWELEVE

Day Eighty-Four

What a nice day off! Both from work and my workouts...

Ive noticed something odd over the last few weeks. My pants have been getting looser but my weight has stayed the same. Clearly I'm losing weight but gaining in muscle mass. Once I make the transition off P90 and into a lifestyle I want to make sure I keep my muscle mass, I think if I scale back my weight training to 2 days a week I should be able to keep what I have, drop more weight and not bulk up. 

Day Eighty-Three

My workouts lately have been getting tougher, although I am finding it easier to do things like pushups and squats. Last night just for the heck of it I did 100 squats, it killed me! But again I felt great. I can't wait for my last day off before I make the big push for the last week.

Day Eighty-Two

I worked out for about an hour and a half today. That's the longest workout I've had in weeks. I did the 35 min cardio routine 3 times. I'm exhausted but I feel awesome! After the first cycle I felt good and decided to push myself for another cycle. Then after the 2nd I hit the wall but I thought if I'm really gonna push hard this last week I need to go all the way, so I pushed through the wall and did a third cycle, and afterwards I felt proud of myself. No to keep pushing, for the last week and for the rest of my life.
