| Okay, not this dramatic. But for me, it's darn close. |
Assessment
Days 21 (Wednesday) - A good day. An excellent coaching session this morning. Took care of some loose ends with one of my TM clubs. Finished a graphic novel I've been reading - maybe not literature, but Justice League: Trinity War was actually quite good. Stayed on my eating plan. Watched Master Chef with the family.
The dramatic step? Meeting with Jonathan Sabar at his cross-training gym, DEFY! I'm going to start training - for real. To lose weight. To gain muscle. To increase flexibility. My goals? To be able to run again. To hit 165-175, with definition. To play sports with my kiddos. To wear size 32s. To be healthy. To look amazing when I'm up on stage speaking.
Jonathan is both a champion athlete and champion coach - and I'm thrilled that this is going to happen. I've proven I can't do this alone. Now I don't have to.
A Quick Look at my Goals Breakout
Weight, Food, Workouts
Day 1 starting weight - 216.0 - two bratwurst, one piece pepperoni pizza, one Monster, Iced Tea, small lemonade, 2 puddings, small handful of Doritos. It adds up. The Morning Miracle stretching & Back Exercises for 15 (heretofore referred to as TMMsbe15).
Day 2-4 (today) weight - 216.0 up to 221.0, back down to 220. Bad eating, no TMMsbe15, no working out.
Day 5 - 220.0 - two King Soopers Fried Chicken Breasts, large Coldstone Creamery Ice Cream, Popcorn, Junior Mints, loaded potato burrito and soft taco from Taco Bell, no TMM, no workout.
Day 6 - 222 - steak, Butterfinger, something else bad. TMM workout, but no major workout.
Day 7 - 220 - steak, popcorn, Junior Mints, butterfinger cups, TMM workout, but no major workout
Day 8 - 218.8 - two bratwurst, 1/3 Costco chicken. TMM workout, but no major workout.
Day 9 & 10 - 216.8, 217.2 - two KFC chicken breasts, 1 double butterfingers, 2 loaded potato burritos on Day 9, Day 10 just the Barbecue, and then some Junior Mints and a couple Butterfinger cups at the movie. No popcorn, which I count as a victory.
Day 11, 12, 13 - off on Day 11, on on 12 & 13. Got back up to 220.8, then down to 216.8, then an adjustment, I guess, this morning. Haven't worked out, other than my stretches for the Morning Miracle, this entire challenge.
Day 14 - 218.8 two King Soopers Chicken Breasts, two, yep TWO, double size Butterfingers.
Day 15 - 217.2 two King Soopers Chicken Breast, three chocolate chip cookies, a little popcorn, one brownie, 4 tiny donuts, 1 riblet, 2 potato chips, 2 chocolate pretzels. Weird day.
Day 16 - 18 - does it even matter? I was good, I was bad, and sometimes it got ugly. Yesterday I starved myself so I could have a shake and popcorn at Mission Impossible.
Day 19 - 217.8 - two fried chicken breasts, one bbq'd hot dog (no bun or condiments), two bites of bbq'd chicken (no sauce)
Day 20 - 217.0 - two bratwurst, one chicken breast, not fried, 5 tortilla chips.
Day 21 - 216.6 - two bratwurst, one chicken breast, not fried, 15-20 tortilla chips, a little Atkins approved Cool Whip, and one tator tot.
Day 22 - Today - 215.2 - finally broke through the 216 barrier.
Day 27 Goal weight - 208 This is going to be a big challenge since I'm not getting any closer after 11 days... (My ultimate goal: 170 by Oct. 10)
The Morning Miracle goal - 27 Accomplished - 13
Workout goal - 7 Accomplished - 1
Eating Plan Days - 12 Accomplished - 6

The Justice League certainly should qualify as literature. In addition, you can consider it prep for the Awesome Superhero Toastmasters Conference you're leading soon.
