Week 6 has passed.. and so has my time weighing over 300 lbs. Let’s talk about it.

(Record Scratch)

Wait… This is week 7… Well shit.

So I failed in posting this past Saturday. This past weekend was… Heavy? Emotional? Stressful? Yes all those things. The anniversary of my mother’s passing as well as the funeral for one of my aunts that passed away a couple weeks ago overshadowed and took control of my brain. Probably more so that I’m willing to admit.

But what I didn’t let falter was my drive to finish round 2 of 75 Hard. So here’s my week 6 post with some updates.

IMPORTANT NOTE: While I’d like to claim that I did this as an entire SIX SEVEN joke, I alas did not.

Finally…

(I wrote this for last weeks blog)

I woke up this morning and was starting to get ready for my morning walk and I stopped and took a deep breath and pulled out the scale. I had been weighing myself every Friday morning, but had chosen not to yesterday. Wednesday night before bed I did something I know I shouldn’t do and weighed myself. Just in case you don’t know, you should always weigh yourself first thing in the morning. It’s science, look it up. Anyways, I weighed myself and I say at 306. My heart sunk. Then I got mad. SO when Friday morning rolled around… I hesitated. The week wasn’t technically over so I made sure to put my head down for my two workouts and follow my diet, and weighed myself this morning.

299.4

I felt a weight (figuratively) fall off my shoulders. I didn’t let myself get to excited yet. It’s just under 300. I’m not allowing myself to get too excited until I hit 295. Then the real work hits and I need to keep it off. I’m not as worried about that as I would have been before I started this process But I’m here now, and I do NOT want to go back.

WEEK 7 UPDATE TO THIS – Down to 297. The drive to keep it falling as risen.

Diet Update

Diet is going strong. No issues again. I’ve gotten some great self control over the last 100+ days. I had a day were I eat more than I had initially planned, though still within my range, but I felt blah that day.

Still trying to work on intake of protein in a day.

WEEK 7 UPDATE – A lot more baked goods are sufacing around me due to the holidays, and even my 75 Hard partner, Jessica, sent me some and while the urge to dive head first hass been STRONG.. I have maintained!

Exercise Update

Last two weeks at work before Christmas are always hell and while I’ve gotten my two exercises in, they haven’t been what I wanted them to be. Trying to work on getting heart rate up during a variety of exercises, but do the work restrictions the quality f workouts I got to weren’t what I wanted.

Already this weekend I’ve gotten in some good workouts. Starting the next week on the right foot.

WEEK 7 UPDATE – Had a couple REAL GOOD gym workouts as well as virtual boxing workouts. Once Christmas work rush is overi am STOKED to ramp it up
