Some days you feel like you're just going through the motions. The most important thing is going through the motions and getting it done. Nice work.

Appreciate it

11/26/18 FBG + FPP, Week 2, Day 1 MS, FPP, E

Deadlift 3x5 @285#
Bench 3x5 @165#
Pull Ups 6,5,4,3,2

Run 4.6 miles, 45 min

Crazy to think I hardly touched 275 in my deadlift last cycle and here I am getting comfortable with 285. Really can't explain that one. Bench felt decent enough. Pull ups are good. Easy run.

Pull ups 6,5,4,3,3

Run 3.2 miles, 30 minutes. Started off real easy and built to a 8min/mile pace for the last 3 or so minutes.
Assault bike, 10 minutes

Got a pretty good runners high for the day which helped immensely with a busy work day. Thinking about getting my food situation squared away. I used to be really good at meal prep but have slipped quite a bit. Might take the easy way out and grab a bunch of frozen stuff from trader joes and mix it up. Didn't realize how affordable they are in comparison to my other local options.

Also got my US masters swimming registration paid for. Grabbing a new suit and goggles tomorrow so hopefully I can make the Thursday morning practice.

Hit the stair master for 20 minutes, HR around 140-150.


Going on a ride along with flight paramedics dec. 23rd. Just found out they have a weight limit of 200# with a flight suit and boots. Got myself at 207.6 this morning after breakfast. I’ll start keeping track of this closely from here on out. Diet will have to change a bit but that is a good thing. I work with wrestlers so I’ve consulted a bit with them about weight loss strategies a little closer to the big day. Shitty part is I have two weddings in December, and one is two days before!

3150 yds total. Felt good to get back in the water but I'd be lying if I said I didn't get my HR up to 200 at some point. Not sure if I'd call this an E or HIC, but it did take 1:30 to complete the whole thing. Fun morning.

Weighed in at 207.2 after practice.

Due to time constraints I won’t be able to fit in an E session today. Kinda frustrated with that but tomorrow I will be working medical for a wrestling tournament all day...not really E but sort of an exercise in mental toughness as I won’t be able to eat for about 10 hours and will be running around all over the place taking care of people.

Swim practice this morning. Honestly forgot the whole workout, but I'd guess around 3000 yards total again. 1.5 hours. Going to take a couple weeks to really get back into swimming shape but I can hang on through the practice and still lead my own lane.

Feeling the accumulation of fatigue this week. Going to take today off and go through some recovery/stretching and move the rest of the weeks work to Friday/Saturday. Overall feel like I'm making pretty good progress in all areas, including my weight.
