Sorry It's Been While Since I Posted!

I've been really busy, as my business is starting to pick up steam, and I just haven't gotten around to posting in awhile.

Things are still going well. I'm not losing as much weight, which is a little frustrating, but I am adding muscle mass, and reducing my body fat percentage! Down below 18%, now!

Also, I am getting stronger, and more fit. This morning I set a new personal best on the Bench Press of 205lbs.When I started at Jimmy Lee's, my max was only 175lbs, so I'm really stoked about that improvement!

I also increased my treadmill to interval training with 8mph for the working interval, and 4mph for the resting interval, and was able to maintain this for 15 minutes! When I started, I was walking 15 minutes at 3.5mph, so this is definitely a nice improvement!

Next week, we do the final weigh in, and whether I win the contest, or not, I have still won, because I have improved my fitness so much, in such a short time!

Weekly Update!

Alright, it's time for this week's progress update!

We are approximately 18 days into the 6 week Biggest Loser Bootcamp Contest at Jimmy Lee's Total Fitness!

The results are starting to be noticeable! My wife has actually more than doubled my weight loss, but she doesn't really like me mentioning much about her progress, so we'll leave it at that!

I am getting closer and closer to my weight loss goal of 180lbs, a weight I haven't seen since I was 20yrs old! If you remember, I started the contest with an official weigh-in of 205.4lbs on July 5th, and set my goal of losing 25lbs, and reaching 180lbs. Last week's weigh-in was 199lbs. Well, this morning, I weighed in at 194.8lbs, making my official weight loss 10.6lbs! I am less than 15lbs from my 6 week goal!
