The results speak for themselves I'm not just in a good like I have been before I'm just up swings, but I am executing flawlessly I find that along with stress management I am being fed off of results so it is an M 

list cycle in a positive way

Day 28 - Game of Inches

so this month I have lost an inch off my waist. My weight is actually the same and I believe that is because the heavy lifting I've been doing twice a week on the same body parts people have noticed. I am extremely proud of my progress even though there's clearly a lot of opportunity to tighten it up it's the fact that for these last three days I have not started over and I'm being accountable to myself and logging everything. This also allows me to look for trends and see what things I'm doing right. There's no question that I cannot keep drinking and eating poorly if I really want to reach my goals but at the same time I'm learning that my body responds very well to exercise. So when I can really focus in and combine optimizing both diet and exercise

Day 27 - Steps

I actually want to take my "super powers" and put them to use. I want to learn bar chords this weekend.

wow I had over 16,000 steps today I mean I am toward myself but exercise all the way.

Next we went to the chili festival in elk Grove and I walked all over the place

last but not least went out to fulsome lake and walked with the boys down to the water

Day 26 - Poker Night

first off let me start by saying that protein shake last night was amazing! I think I found something that will make me happy little calories and will make me healthy

11:56pm - What a Night

First off I did get a complement. Sean said I looked great and that my shoulders and upper body looks huge. I'll have noticed years ago for some reason even at my age of 41 I gain muscle very fast which is a good thing. 

I did not eat very well and definitely not healthy today but I did manage to control myself to a degree. I didn't stop and get any late-night junkfood although I did have some sweets and soda when I got home - it could have been much worse.

as for poker night I got the respect of everyone there and played my butt off it really was amazing. I am lost in a showdown to two pair but everyone knows that night that I am great at poker I play for respect. The only one that did not read by and yet I ended up taking the chip lead. Now it's time to fall back a little bit and just focus on family and fitness

Day 24 - Case Study (274.2)

Well, it is been a very interesting over these first 23 days. Last night I completed all of the journal entries of what I've eaten and met Matt I am still down 2 pounds despite hovering around 3000 cal a day.  with the week off from exercise I still put in a good solid two weeks of weightlifting and some cardio even a little bit of kickboxing. At the end of it all I believe the take away here is that I can increase my calories and still lose weight. 

another Takeaway is that I really do need to manage myself a little bit tighter and give myself goals that I can hit every few days. it seems that when I see progress I can continue quicker and more efficiently.

Last of all my blood sugar is high as it's been all year and I can't see anything
