Miles Goal - 310
Weight Loss Goal - 7lbs

Calorie Total - 105,860

On March 14th, I participated in my first, ever, Tae Kwon Do tournament where I competed against other men my age and/or belt level. At the end of it all, I departed the tournament with two gold medals and one bronze medal.

I also increased my strength training during the month from four days to six days. So lets see if I can increase that number during April.

See you in May!

February 2015

Calorie Goals - 70,000
Miles Goals - 280
Weight Loss Goal - 7lbs

Calorie Total - 84,840
Miles Total - 280.8
Weight Loss Total - -3

I began the month at 330lbs, I lost 6lbs (down to 324lbs) and finished the month at 333lbs. Not a good month as it pertains to weight loss! I am also disappointed that I only had 4 days of strength training, just like January, but that will definitely change in March.

I kicked off the month with some strength training (31 minutes) as well as hitting my 100lb punching bag (21 minutes) and that was after having cycled (stationary) for 85 minutes.

See you next month!

January 2015

Calorie Goal - 77,500
Miles Goal - 310
Weight Loss Goal - 7lbs

Calorie Total - 114,174
Miles Total - 425.8
Weight Loss Total - 8lbs

Many of the calories burned were attributed to two (2) weekly classes of Strength, Conditioning and Kickboxing as well as a minimum of three (3) and maximum of five (5) weekly classes of Tae Kwon Do. I also managed to, and I need to increase the amount of, do strength training as well as the 'Cards' workout and some Cross Training.

See you next month!

2015 Goals

January 2014 saw me achieve a low in weight of 257 lbs. January 2015 began with me weighing 339 lbs. During the course of 2014, I allowed myself to go backwards on my eating habits and I gained 82 lbs.

Simply stated, my goal for 2015 is to lose the 82 lbs that I gained in 2014. I have calculated that in order to achieve this goal, I will have to lose approximately 7 lbs a month, which translates to approximately 2 lbs a week.

At the time of this posting, I have lost 8 lbs this month with 10 days remaining in the month.

I have shaken things up by committing myself to strength training, taking Tae Kwon Do, incorporating a Card's workout as well as a Crossfit workout at home. Now all I have to do is incorporate all of the other activities (swimming, walking, outdoor cycling, etc...) into a schedule with the new activities.

I have increased my daily calorie burn from 2,000 to 2,500, however, I maintained the 10 miles a day.

Wish me luck!
