Goal: Lose 10 Pounds in April
April 1 - 272.0
Today's Weigh In: 267.6
4.4 down, 5.6 to go!
Basketball went great last night - I'm COMPLETELY wiped out. When the alarm went off this morning my body did NOT want to get up. Totally sore from the pores of my feet to the bald spot on the top of my head.
So I went downstairs and weighed in. I got a 268.6.
As is my routine every day, I go to the gym in the morning and then come home and weigh in again. My post-workout weigh-in is the one I count for my official daily weigh in. Some would say that's cheating, but the way I see it - the pre-workout weigh in motivates the hell out of me. I know that whatever I see before my workout is going to be almost a full pound LESS when I get home and weigh in again.
Honestly, that fact in itself is what motivates me to go to the gym 7 days a week.
When I woke up this morning, I just knew I wasn't going to hit the gym. I was sore, tired, I had a HUGE headache.. I just wasn't going to do it. But when I saw that 268.8.. I knew the potential for seeing the 268 was real. My body immediately changed its mind, and WANTED to go to the gym so I could see it on the scale.
That's what motivates me.
267.6
My old "new low" from months ago was 266.6. I haven't seen that number in months - and I haven't seen anything LOWER than that in the past 10 years.
Find what motivates you. Chase it.
Earn it.

Nice! Glad I could make you work so hard that you lost so much weight!
LOL. I like that- sore from my feet to the bald spot on my head. A bit like how I felt yesterday :)
Great job on the workouts!
Nice Rob!! nothing like dropping some wieght to make you want more. Keep it rolling!
Keep it going, bro. You're doing great!
Rob, that's awesome!!
You can cheat on meals, you can cheat on tests, but you can't cheat on weigh-ins. If it works for you, go with it. The ultimate goal is weight loss. :)
wow, sounds like you are kicking your ass in the gym. good stuff, even though you are that wiped out, isn't it a great feeling. I love it when I feel like that. I wish I lived closer to you guys, I'd definatly hit up some B-ball. Keep up the great work, you'll be in the 250's in no time man.
Hell yeah, Rob. Hell yeah.
I was going to make a blog for this but I'll just add it here.
When you feel like you can't control yourself around a full fridge and an empty house, sometimes you have to avoid the house.
I've got an 8:30 meeting and I should have left my job at 6pm. I'm still at work at 7pm because I know if I have 2 hours to waste before the meeting I'll eat myself out of house and home. Starving!
Going to go home with just enough time to grab something for the road. If you can't stand the kitchen, avoid the heat. That's how the saying goes.. right? .. right?
