Day 30

A month gone, so we are a quarter of the way there. Cardio today was the elliptical for 21 minutes with about 6 sprints. I was pretty much giving it a good go today and it felt like a great cardio session.

Day 29

Four weeks in the bag. Today's workout was a killer. I indulged all weekend with comfort food and alcohol...sigh, but I'm back on track. I've definitely made progress as I can tell my back is wider and my love handles are shrinking, but not as fast as I'd like and I know why. My diet has to get better and a lot more strict. I'm working on that and it will get better. Here are my progress pics after 4 weeks.

Day 26

Well week 4 is about at end.  I had a pretty good workout today.  I'll post updated pics on Monday as well my new workout.  Hope to see some more changes!!! Have a good weekend......

Day 25

I slipped a little today.  I did do some cardio, but I know I didn't do enough.  I started with jumping jacks and mountain climbers as a warmup then I hooked up the "homemade treadmill" and sprinted for 5 sets.  As I said it could have been more, but I'll just pick up tomorrow.

Day 24

I had a really good workout today, felt a lot stronger on deadlifts.  One exercise that kicks my butt is the dumbbell uppercut.  Basically I hold a 15 lb dumbbell in each hand and pretend I'm giving someone a Mike Tyson shot to the chin.  I really try to do each one as an explosive move getting those fast twitch fibers burning.  I can't believe it's already almost a month....keep it up everyone because I plan on winning the challenge!!!!!!!! 

Day 23

For my cardio today I got on an elliptical and had a 5 minute warm up with 6 all-out intervals then a 5 minute cool down.  Going into week 4 I feel really good and am constantly trying to have better eating habits.  Ready for tomorrow's workout.

Day 22

Week three in the bag!!!  I was unable to get my cardio in this last weekend, but it's ok because I hadn't missed a workout in 6 days, and the day that I missed before that was a scheduled off day.  Man I'm feelin pumped.  I can tell a slight difference not only visually but in strength.  One thing I need to continue to work on is what I eat.  I've been eating healthier but I know I could do better.  I've decided that after week 8 I'm really going to schedule everything I eat.  Here are some pics from after my workout today.
