Finals are almost over, and I think I will give this a try. I have been dieting for for almost 3 months now, and I think it is time to bump up the exercise. I am doing a program called HMR that is affiliated with universities; it is similar to weight watchers I think. I was down 59 pounds wednesday at the 11 week weigh in. If I get off ---my bottom--- and exercise the next few days, I think I can finish the 12 week program with 65 pounds lost. It has been hard to push myself to exercise the last couple of weeks, part of it is due to finals, but I think I am just bored. I am still way overweight, so I will be doing the program for another 12 weeks. My freshman 15 was actually a freshman 50 followed by a sophomore 65. I was at 357 when I started the program. Sadly, not the most I have ever weighed. I was 390 when I quit truck driving about 4 years ago. I dieted for about a year and a half and got down to 235. Then I put most of it back on; that sucked. I am just under 300 pounds now, and I think my joints can take a bit more intensity now. I should have the DVDs by the end of the weekend, so hopefully I will start soon. I am going to keep to my current diet because the results have been great, I just want to kick up the exercise. If I hit 65 pounds with fairly moderate exercise, I want to see what I can do if I push it.
I really struggled in school the first half of the semester. I think my health was actually getting pretty bad. I couldn't focus on anything really well, and my brain just didn't feel like it was working quite right. Has anyone heard of anything like that? about a month ago, the fog lifted, and I have felt way more capable. I was actually starting to be afraid I was getting dumber..erer. ;D

I'm still here chad. My mobo fried and all I have web wise right now is my iPhone. I've still been keeping up with the workouts and been supplementing it with ground fighting twice a week. I'm about a week behind chad right now.
ChadTower:
What are you doing to incorporate the grappling into your show style? I've always liked a convincing ground based style as a core repertoire. If you can pull it off, especially now with the popularity of MMA, it sets you apart from the guys who are all chops/kicks/dives. And more importantly if done well it's very safe and allows you to really take care of your opponent.

I missed tonight's workout... but with good hobby related reason. There is a new game in the house and I spent most of the day on it. Lots of worthwhile effort and it is now working fully. Pics/desc may be coming soon but this is a keeper. I'm totally stoked. Long day of work for a very nice nice game. :cheers:
ChadTower:
Plyo done. Wasn't really into it today but did it properly anyway. :dizzy:
