Day Three Hundred Eighteen - Overkill Day Eleven

Today I killed it really bad! Did my 3 miles this morning. I walked by myself because Lisa had to study for school. I did a power walk and added lots of running in there. When I got home, Lisa was just leaving for school. I did a Bowflex workout. I did everything I did the other day, adding a few new exercises. I only did 2 sets of 15 reps on each this time. Last time I did 3 on some of them. Today, I was really tired still so I couldn't get the third set in. After the Bowflex, I did some work on the Ab Lounge. When I was done, I rode the exercise bike for 18 minutes this time. Last time I did 17. I'm going to shoot for 20 next time I do this, but I'm not going to make it a priority. As long as I do 15 minutes. That's my main goal. After I get off that thing, my legs are like jello. I'm really wobbly and it takes me a while to get a good walk. Really wears me out but I love it!

I was really anxious today so I did my evening workout early! I did DDP yoga, along with my crunches (20 on each side), and this time I did 10 cross leglifts. Then I did my pushups, which are getting easier. Followed by my dumbbell workout. I got everything done before 7pm. I also finished my gallon of water today! I definitely feel like I made up for missing my evening workout yesterday! It was Awesome! I thought I'd be hanging out with Dyanna again today..but didn't hear from her. Oh well, next time I suppose. Tomorrow is bills day! Don't know if I'll be able to get my morning walk/workout in because we need to do our stuff early since Lisa apparently has to be at work by noon for training. So I'll have to put off my morning workout for that tomorrow. Definitely get the evening one in though.

Day Three Hundred Seventeen - Overkill Day Ten

Did 3 miles this morning! It wasn't all that strong today because I had to go to the bathroom really bad, which sucked! Every time that happens, it really screws up my walk and I definitely can't run. When I got back, however, I did my business, then I went back out and did my weights workout outside. I did 30 deadlifts, 20 bench presses, 5 100lb curls, and some jump roping. Lisa did her DDP yoga workout.

Finished my gallon of water today.

Didn't do my evening workout today because I had a "date" planned with a friend I met on Facebook. She asked me this past Sunday to go to a movie with her tonight. That was my evening. I just got back about an hour ago. We had a great time! We watched 'CHAPPiE' and then she took us out to eat at the Blue Moon diner afterwards. Great conversation. She's a very beautiful lady. She would like to do it again. I hope we can too. Be planning on that in the near future!

I shall make up my skipped workout tomorrow for sure!

Day Three Hundred Sixteen - Overkill Day Nine

Just like to note that this day marks my 316th day. That is my all-time favorite number, 316. After my most memorable Bible Verse: 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.' John 3:16
Amen.

Started off this morning with a strong 3 mile powerwalk and I did some running too. I really pushed myself this morning. Lisa came with me and did some running also. When we got back, I mixed it up. Instead of doing my outside weights workout, I did my Bowflex workout. I did more than I did last time I did this. Way more! I worked my legs, my arms, my back, my abs, my shoulders, my sides. I did lots of different exercises on that thing. I did 3 sets of 15 reps on most of them. My arms were really wiped out by the time I was done. Afterwards, I did 30 crunches on the AB Lounge! That really kicked my butt! My abs started to cramp up after. I finished my workout by riding the exercise bike for 17 minutes this time. Last time I only did 15. My body felt great after! Tired, but I really feel like I kicked arse the whole workout!

Finished my gallon of water early today! Usually I finish it at the end of the night, but today by midday I was pretty much done with it. Once I start to finish my gallon early, I'm going to drink more water. I hear of ppl downing 2 gallons per day. I'm like, DANG!! But you never know, that might be me here in a few months.

Tonight I did my DDP yoga workout, crunches, cross leglifts, pushups, and my dumbbell workout! I ended up drinking more water because I was so winded after DDP. It was a great workout today! Definitely getting it done everyday. Stronger, Faster, Leaner ;}

Day Three Hundred Fifteen - Overkill Day Eight

Started off the day with 3 miles with Lisa. Then when we got back, Lees did her DDP yoga workout and I did my outside weights workout. 30 deadlifts, 7 100lb curls, 20 bench presses, then finished it out with some jump rope. Awesome workout this morning.

Finished my gallon of water today, but I finished it late. I was busy throughout the day so I didn't get to my evening workout until after 10pm. I only did a few moves on DDP yoga, then Lisa came home from work so I stopped for the night. My left knee was aching really bad so I didn't want to push it. I'll make it all up tomorrow. Time to turn in for now and get some rest. My left knee is aching something terrible right now :( Hope it clears up though.

Day Three Hundred Fourteen - REST DAY

A much needed Rest today! I took it easy most the day. My arms were tired all day, as were my legs. I don't want to push myself constantly. I always need to add a rest day in there. I talked to a woman on instagram about fitness and we compared our stories. She is pretty fit and said that her husband is her inspiration for keeping in shape. I told her my workout routine now and she said I was very dedicated, doing all of this everyday like I have been. She said that she works out at least 3 times per week, that's it. Well for me, I don't know, after this weight gain I experienced, I'm just really scared and paranoid. I keep thinking that nothing is helping and that I'm putting all the weight I lost, back on. I know it's crazy to think that, but it's really been bugging me lately. I need to stop letting this get to me and just keep up with my workouts. I decided yesterday that my 3 miles in the morning is now just my warm up. The real workout is when I get home, and in the evenings. That's when I'm really going to be killing it! Also my morning 3 miles is to help train myself to get back in to running full-time! I really want that. So I'm going to be training myself to run, as well as warming up for my daily exercise workouts. That should DEFINITELY get me back to losing weight and gaining muscle, all in all getting healthy, which is the goal of Fyrescape!

Finished my gallon of water today! My rest days aren't going to interfere with that goal. I'm going to stick with a gallon of water everyday, no matter what! It's really helped me with my diet and with my liquid intake. I'm mostly just drinking water now, all day long. Never anything else. In the evenings I'll have a few sips of diet coke just to get my taste buds a lil go. Drinking water all day, you really crave something, anything even remotely sweet to break the plain. Anyway, that was my rest day. Went to a new church today. Ideal Baptist Church and listened to our old pastor, Rev. H.R Fleetwood. It was a great sermon. We haven't been to church since leaving our old one. I just thought I'd mention that in my blog. It was part of my rest day! I think all my rest days are going to be on Sunday, that was I can attend church and not have to worry about my workouts. Next Sunday we're planning on going back to Ideal Baptist again. The ppl there were so welcoming and it was really great to see Pastor Fleetwood. He was our Pastor over at First Indian for 10 years and 5 months. Both Lisa and I missed him very much! Lookin forward to next week. Well, back at Fyrescape Overkill tomorrow. It's gonna be a tough week for sure, but I'm going to stick to it!

Day Three Hundred Thirteen - Overkill Day Seven

Did my 3 miles this morning! Came back and finished out with weights. I did 30 deadlifts, 7 100lb curls, 20 bench presses, and some jump roping. My legs are pretty tired, especially my chins. They really have been getting a good workout since I've been jump roping and running. Lisa started coming with me again on our walks. She's also doing DDP yoga in the mornings after our 3 miles.

Finished my gallon of water today! This evening I did DDP yoga, along with my crunches, cross leg lifts, push ups, and my dumbbell workout. My body is feelin really good but I am very super tired. My arms felt so worn out by the dumbbell workout that I was really shaking trying to get the weight up above my head. I'm in definite need of a rest day now! I have been at this for 7 days straight. That is what I call dedication!! If I start putting on weight now, then there is definitely something wrong with me. I have never before ever pushed myself like I am doing now. I'm really hoping this gets me somewhere really great by the time Fyrescape year one ends next month!

Day Three Hundred Twelve - Overkill Day Six

Today I did not do my 3 mile walk/run or my weights workout. Had to get our laundry done so I put off the morning workout. Finished my gallon of water today though.

This evening I did DDP yoga, along with my crunches, cross leg lifts, pushups, and my dumbbell workout! The whole thing takes about an hour tops!
