With all the numbers that surround the weight loss journey - the current number on the fucking scale (excuse my language, but I kinda hate that thing), calories in, calories out, weights lifted, pounds lost, the date you started, the minutes you work out for....bah!!! I don't even like numbers for Christ sakes!
Well, here is a new number for you. 30.
I'm going for 30 days straight of workouts. And I'm not talking about any pansy-assed workouts here. Today was day 13, and my lightest day so far was both Fridays with Trainer Mike for 1 hour of weight resistance training.
Ever hear about Jerry Seinfeld's personal productivity incentive? He used a calendar, and every day that he wrote new material, he would mark that day with a big red X, creating a chain. He then became determined not to break the chain.
So for the next 17 days, I intend to do cardio 5-6x a week, work out with Mike 2x a week, and add a little bit of my own weight training at the gym using machines, just to change things up a bit. And each day that I work out, I mark it on my calendar at work...
Even with the sniffles, and a very full social life, and a full time job, I will make it to 30 days. No wimping out. No excuses.
And after that 30 days? I'm aiming for another 30.
If you're looking for me, I'll be at the gym.

I really appreciate your candor and honesty. You say it like it is and really "put yourself out there" - not easy to do. Keep up with the amazing progress you're making. Remember that there are always little bumps along the way but the journey and goal make it all worthwhile. (Please make sure you have some "active rest" days in there - you don't want to get an overuse injury…)
cheers,
