Todays Weight: 223 (new low)
I was looking at some pictures last night to try and motivate myself to continue pressing on in my healthy lifestyle. The picture to the right was me exactly 3 years ago when I had lost 50+
pounds (weighed approx 195lbs in the pic). Since then allot has changed all good things except one, me gaining weight. All right getting more gray hair and balding isnt good but it comes with the territory and there is nothing that I can do about that. Plus a little salt n pepper in your hair is sexy right? While reflecting on the images I remember being much more confident and actually wanting to be in pictures. I still want to be in pictures so I can reflect on them 3 more years down the road but I hate the results right now. I don't like the guy I see. Moral of the paragraph is I need to change. I already knew this but it just reainstills it in my mind and that's a good thing. Plus it reminds me of what I can accomplish. This time I want more, I want to go further. I never want to see the north side of 199 for the rest of my life. I will be so happy when I can abolish that 2 from the front of my weight.

I wanted faster (thanks to Jay) but couldn't physically keep the pace. My heart rate was bashing into 180s which exhausts me quickly. Tonight I am doing some 210 workouts. I need to up the lean body mass. That's key for me, or at least it has been in the past. Trying to make sure to get in my pre/post shake in. It seems to help with my recovery time.
Weekend Warriors saddle up its almost apon us!

Pictures are a powerful tool in weight loss. I look at mine and they all pretty much encourage me to do better.
Awesome on the new low. Now you just gotta push through the weekend.
You sound like you're on-target man, keep up the good work!
Dude, that picture of you looks great, you look like a totally thin healthy guy! I never even had that to look back to, so if I were you I'd look at that picture every single day as motivation!
It's good that you can look at those pictures and have that 'bad' feeling in you right now. Not that I enjoy seeing you feel down about it, but I know that sometimes, that's the motivation you need to reclaim your life.
You're on the right track, man. Just keep pushing, and you'll soon be looking at those pictures and thinking "man, was I really that fat?"
Congrats on the new low! You're only 24 lbs away from never being 200 again!
Let's get through this weekend and post some kick-ass numbers for this challenge! Our team is coming on strong!!!
Sweet new low Rip! Youre easing your way on down the road or should I say scale...(hehe) Keep up the great work and awesome attitude!
PS - Salt & Pepper is sexy :)
My gosh, I miss a day and you're a dad! Congrats. And congrats also on the new low. Your determination is clear, you know how to do this. You have the technology. You can make yourself stronger and faster.
Gray hair and balding is VERY SEXY (I tell myself everytime I look in my mirror).
Ya know, it's funny, because I had this experience recently. I was looking through a photo album and came across an old pic in there, and then pulled out a pic of the "new me" from our vacation pictures. It was a HUGE difference. I hope you got as much motivation out of your experience as I got from mine
Yeah...salt and pepper is usually very sexy (on guys).
Yeah man,
I'm with you about grey hairs. Also remember that if you truly desire to change, every minute is an opportunity to change forever.
Whew, i gotta write that down !
You guys are having a baby??? Congrats!!!! :)
As far as weight goes, congrats on the new number! Just keep doing what you know you should be doing and you'll see that one in no time!
Congrats on your loss!! Nice to hit a new low, isn't it? And you're well on your way to hitting your next goal!!
