I decided to take a quick peek at my previous blog, wanting to see how long it had been since I last updated; since I last checked where I stood with my goals. It was February 15, 2015 and it was a weekend that I was happy to see come and go. For some reasons […]

Well, it has been a few weeks since I last measured myself. I have been working my butt off… Literally! Pants are fitting much looser, shirts feel a bit relaxed, belts are at different notches. Wonderful! So, I decided that today would be an update as to where I am with my progress. Now, I

I do not have a lot of time to sit down to write this out. I need to be awake in less than 7 hours and sleep is crucial to my health and weight loss. Don’t believe me? There is a ton of research that says otherwise. Anyways… The reason for this week’s post is

Okay, I didn’t realize exactly how long it had been since I last posted… Damn near a WEEK! Sorry guys and gals! I guess I dropped the ball, but was completely oblivious to it. I have been so focused on getting things done for the university, plus being under the weather did not help. Damn

As I have mentioned before, I am incorporating a variety of different workouts I have done in the past for the next overall regimen. In the past few days, I have hit the weight room and I have completed T25. Today was all about the Combat! Les Mills Combat; brought this beautiful exercise back and

Today was a return to the T25 workouts, where I stepped it up to Speed 1.0. Now, during the second half of my previous routine, I was doing Speed 2.0 and it was brutal because it never stops, not even once, for 25 minutes. However, for Speed 1.0, the movements are difficult in their own
