This is a late post but I just finished a 1+3 where I actually ran 2 miles. It’s also been a rough day where I hardly ate, I am tired from the workout and I am really thirsty.
But the worst part is looking at the scale… 268.8 WOW. Amazing… but its unofficial and that is the worst part.
Last night I drank some wine and woke up late this morning. Maybe its a good thing, I needed the rest.
Anyway, I am gonna make it up tonight with a 1+3. Also I am taking the bus to work which does add 2 more miles.
It is a bummer though, cause I have hit a record weight.
Weight: 272.6
I went for a normal 1 mile run plus a 1 mile walk this morning. I have been feeling pretty lethargic lately.
Anyway, my Aunt in law who was staying with us for a couple of months actually went to Toronto for a while to visit her sister. She returns to the West Coast next week and I would like to be under 270 by then. So I have nine days to lose 4 pounds. That is a lot, I am not sure I can make it.
That is that is 14000 above what I consume. If I burn 200 Calories per mile, I need to run a net of 70 miles to meet my goal. Yikes.
Luckily I can reduce what I eat to make my goal, I burn about 2500 cal per day. If I eat only 1000 Calories per day then I can make it. Er… that’s not going to happen.
I will have to Mix… 5 miles each day would be 1000 and I probably can stick to a 2000 calorie diet.
That should do it. I already did 2 mile, I still got gym and my evening 2 mile walk for today.
Weight: 273.6
I need to learn to get to bed earlier and wake up earlier. Then I think my body will to its thing earlier. Just ran one mile cause I had to cut it short for the number one reason it does get cut short. Need to use the bathroom.
Anyway, not too worried about my weight. I had a late dinner, if it is not down to 274 by Thursday I will be concerned.
Weight 276.8
Wow three posts in one day. Anyway this deserves one. As I mentioned this morning I was going to do an evening run. A normal 1+3, I think it may be inappropriate to call it that since I run pretty much most of the way now. Anyway my record prior to today was 55 minutes. I run it in 54 today.
I know its unofficial but I did weigh in when I got back and I weighed in at 274.0.
Decided to take a break from the morning workout today. I will still do an evening or afternoon workout.
I think Sunday’s may start to be this way. Where I have a late workout.
Weight: 275.6
I have been juggling the thought of adding protein supplements to my diet and training and the last two gym sessions got me concerned because it showed my how weak I am. The bench press and curls I been doing was pretty sad. Also when on the drive home I noticed my arms are not quite shaking but they do feel weak, so my muscles are pretty torn and from what multiple sources (friends, coworkers, and relatives) I need to take a protein supplement to heal.
I am not sure if now is the time to introduce it, but another thing I been told is you need muscle to burn fat. The concern that there is mixed feedback from people on if it would make me gain weight or not.
So I was thinking, why the hell not. Hey this blog will track my usage and its results. Hey, I have been taking the Lipo 6 and it looks like it is helping.
Off to GNC I went to get some information and to by a protein drink. While I was there I was reminded that I needed some vitamins because I was running out of the one I was taking.
Diet Supplements
After a few minutes with the GNC associate I decided on on AMP (Advanced Muscle Performance) Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. It was kind of pricey compared to others so I also purchased a 2lb jar of GNC Pro Performance 100% Whey Protein.
For vitamins a purchased Mega Men Sport Premium Performance Multivitamin.
I’ll be giving the AMP a try first. What I purchased was simply a 1 week supply. The directions say take 3 scoops in a 12 oz glass of cold water after my workout. But the GNC associate said its OK to take 1 scoop instead.
So on my non-gym days I will take 1 scoop after my run.
On gym days I will take 1 scoop before and 1 scoop after my workout.
I’m guessing that will last me about 2 weeks depending on if I increase my anerobic workout.
After that is all consumed, I will switch to the cheaper stuff which both my wife and I share. When that is all gone we will decide what to use moving forward.
I quick search on the Internet showed excellent reviews for the AMP.
Man its been a tough week. I alot of things happened at work. At home we have a leak in the basement and that has to be fixed. This server that hosts this blog needs a serious upgrade.
Also the least heat wave has uncovered some vulnerabilities.
I had a late workout today, so I could take care of some those items
Still had a decent run. There still a lot of work to do though. After todays weigh in I think I can make my goal of being under 270 before my aunt gets back and being at 265 before the NFL football season starts.
Weight: 274.6
Man what is up with my energy level lately. Anyway I feel a little burnt out. I forgot to set alarm again and woke up late.
I did a 1 mile jog, pretty slow too, then walked a mile.
I still got gym and my evening walk today.
Weight: 275.6
As the year moves on and summer turns into fall, there is less daylight.
So I am faced with a challenge, I have less light when running in the morning. I may have to run with a reflective vest and flashlight. My 1 mile route is decently lit and I have run it in the dark at night.
Or I can run faster during the daylight.
We still have not reached fall equinox, so there still is light.
On another note… I am running 2 miles not just run1 walk 1. I have not committed to it being the norm yet. Maybe in September or when I crack 270 on a steady basis.
Speaking of weight…
Weight: 276.4
