What’s good everyone!
I’m 21 days into this 6 month challenge, and things have been going well. As I suspected, my cardio has been the biggest issue. The main problem is that I hate cardio more that I originally thought, and I have to really motivate myself to get up and run. I definitely haven’t gotten the cardio that I want, but an early AM treadmill hit was a great start. Weight lifting wise I’m still on point, and save a few days here n there, my nutrition has been good.
I had to tone back a few days over the past 2 weeks because I had tests being performed on me as a result of items that popped up after my Bi Yearly physical exam. I got additional tests done and I’m good money. They wanted to check my heart for irregular heart beats, and that came out well. I won’t front, I was scared. Anything that has to do with a major organ, I worry about, but I trusted in myself and all seems to be OK.
I haven’t done one lick of yoga in 2013 and that sucks. On the other hand, I have been performing my ab ripper X core workouts, which I would skip in the past. This proves to me that I can motivate myself to do the exercises I hate. Yoga weekly is still a goal, and by next blog post, I plan to make it a habit.
I’m going to be travelling all February for work and leisure, so hotel Gyms will be my sanctuary. I seem to be more focused for Cardio when I have the machines in the same building I sleep, lol. I needed to have a couple of months where I attacked cardio aggressively if I wanted to hit my goal of 10% body fat by June and February is going to be the first month. 28 days of some type of cardio (including Yoga). No excuses, I will find the time.
I’m also going to hook up with my dude B-Fit to get my monthly body fat%. Will probably get an entry in after that.
Hope you all are working hard. Beach season will be here before you know it!
Train hard!

I’m 22/24 with the p90x (i skipped yoga twice), and i feel great right now.
Unfortunately i did NOT weigh myself at the beginning (or take a pic) so i did that a couple days ago. 350lbs. that’s what i expected. I’m only weighing myself once a month ANYWAYS, and that’s not a big deal to me at this point.
Starting this coming tuesday i begin my marathon training. I will start slow (obviously- i’m 350lbs), but i will clock myself (to always have a time to beat) and i will track the distance i run each time. My goal is to get out there at least 3 times in the beginning- we’ll see how that ratchets up.
On the nutrition side I’m supplementing more than EVER.
1 Shakeology drink every day
Two Protein Shakes Everyday
And a multi vitamin
I’m considering creatine but i’m assuming building muscle would be counter productive to my marathon goals (which is 268 days way btw).
So yea. I’m hustling. Trying to get daily workouts to be a habit by next month where i suspect my day job will ramp up. More hours. More strain on my food preparing time and disrupts my workouts. So i’m trying to prepare best i can.
Keep up the good work Streetz!!
