I can't say I am thrilled with my results so far, but I most certainly will take them. I lost 3 pounds my first week. Bringing me down to 224 pounds. Typically, in the past, when I have started this, I loose about 5 or 6 pounds my first week. But like I said, I will take it. It is 3 pounds less then what I was before.
I have been hitting the gym hard. My FTO, Officer Johnson, has been working out with me every night we work together, around 3:00am. I am stoked he has been helping me out. He used to be a gym rat back in his college days, and he definitely knows what he is doing, and how to push me. I most certainly have been getting addicted to the pump (my arms feel huge when I am done) I get when I am done lifting. I look forward to lifting every night. My goal is to be able to lift my body weight by the end of the summer, so the more I loose, the less I have to lift. Haha. We are in week two of lifting, and so far we have just been getting a feel for the gym. Next week, we are going to write out a schedule for what day is what, start keeping track of how much we lifted that day, how many reps, ect. So I am looking forward to getting a schedule out, and actually start going even harder. It's been two weeks, and in some of the exercises we do, I can already see a difference.
My Diet has been pretty solid so far. The main thing is, I cut out all fast food, fried food, and high calorie items. So far it's been lots of 100 calorie items, tuna, Smart One dinners and sandwiches. I'm kicking butt so far, and feel super motivated to keep going strong!
I cycled today in preparation for the Valley Rally. I cranked out 40 miles. Last season it was my right knee that bothered me, this season, it's my left. I feel I may have to go to the chiropractor. The weird thing is, I have put 1,000 miles on my bike, and it is just now hurting. No pain in all my rides before today. I think I might have over did it. I am just going to stay off of it and hope I can get back in there in time for my ride.
3 pounds down, 24 to go!
