Winter '10 Day 51 of 52

One day left in the challenge and I've already hit all my goals!!  I'm glad I was able to stick with it and complete my first challenge.  I started off at 249.6 lbs and this morning I weighed in at 236.4 lbs!  13.2 lbs gone!  I need to find time to work in some more RT sessions during the week.  My CT sessions take care of themselves with the 2 ice hockey leagues I'm in.

My wife bought me a Polar F7 heart monitor for Valentine's Day!  I've been wanting to get one for a few months, and I love it!  I use it for all my workouts and it is great to see how many calories I actually burn and what my heart rate max and averages are.  I really like the fact that I can upload my workouts from the watch to an online website.

Now it is time to think about starting the TNT Diet.  Might take the next challenge off to make sure my body adjusts to the new eating habits.  Or I could use the challenge to help me work my way through it.  Haven't decided yet.

Winter '10 Day 40 of 52

Twelve days left!  I'm still lacking on my RTs, but that should be taken care of by the end of the challenge.  With 24 CEs left, I only need 7 to meet my goal, but I need to stay focused to keep the weight loss I've had to make my 5% goal.

Winter '10 Day 36 of 52

I decided to wait and start the TNT diet and workout plan for the next 52DC.  I'll finish this one out doing what I've been doing.  Next session I'll definitely bump up my goals and see where that goes!  Hockey has been going great, both my teams are on big winning streaks.  One team is in 1st place and the 2nd team is 1 point out of first...stupid overtime loss :(.   Things are going great and looking forward to hitting all my goals this challenge.

Winter '10 Day 29 of 52

Just bought the TNT Diet and the Big Book of Exercises books this week.  I like the concept behind the TNT Diet, I'm just a little worried about how it'll effect me in sports.  The TNT Diet is pretty much a how carb, high fat diet.  I play a ton of sports: hockey 2-3 times a week, racquetball 1-2 times a week, and softball once a week.  That is a lot of sports, but I love to play!!  My RTs are struggling a little bit since I play a sport 4-5 days a week.  I've always been told to have lots of carbs to play sports so I hope this new way of using energy will work out.  That is really the only thing that is keeping me from starting the TNT Diet right now.  I play racquetball and hockey competitively so I don't want to see a dip in my performance.  Softball is a beer (rec) league with coworkers and friends, so I'm not too worried about that.
