Rich Rants

Last week’s regimen got stalled. Again. I’m not slacking off though. It’s just one thing leads to another and before you know it, *poof* pop goes the wea– well, whatever the fuck it was, it derailed my efforts for this week.

Anyways, I’m on schedule again(hopefully); finishing my first regimen last sunday, then doing the next set after I wake up later this afternoon before going to work… I really want to make this work and I have 5 more weeks to hit my goal of at least 160lbs… I’m hovering at 168lbs-169lbs atm… if I can reduce at 2 lbs a week, I’ll be set.

Need to be slim around May timeframe

..all right, I’m 4 days late, so what? Last week has been shitty for me–health-wise. Freaking allergy kicked in and whooped my ass pretty good.

So yea, the third week for my exercise has been postponed due to severe allergies. Oh joy.

Anyway, I started taking meds so I’m doing ok so far. Restarted week 3 again today and I finished Exercise Set A last Monday and will be doing Exercise Set B in a few hours.

Aside from those things, everything’s peachy at the moment.

2nd Week is done and over with— and it kicked my ass as usual.

Though weight loss slowed down lost 1 lbs this week compared to the 3 lbs last week… either it has been replaced by a bit of mass or it got sabotaged by my diet.. hmm, I need to monitor that one.

Starting 3rd week this Tuesday. We’ll see how it goes.

Oh yea, the routines are similar including for the second week’s "final" superset but have to do it twice. Third week will be different though. I’m curious how this week will turn out.

I already noticed the difference as far as strength is concerned– not by much(for now) but I feel that I have more energy to move around and I don’t get tired or winded quick.

I will probably going to add my running routine after week 3–once I’m more "in the groove" of things. Probably starts off with a 1.5-mile run on my days that I don’t exercise.

All right, I was able to finish my routine for Week 1. Here’s the breakdown of my routine for this week:

I have 3 sets of exercises A, B and then the 100-count exercises.

I was only able to complete some of the sets here due to muscle failure; I did what I could and was getting ready for the 100-count exercises that I did this Saturday morning.

Saturday, March 1st:

Bodyweight 100:

- 20 Prisoner Squats
- 20 Pushups
 
- 20 Jumps
 
- 5 Chinups
- 20 Forward Lunges
- 15 Close-Grip Pushups

I was able to complete the Squats, Jumps Lunges. I did 12 reps of pushups in a proper form and 10 reps of Close Grip Pushups. I only manage to eke out 1 rep of chinups, unfortunately.

Of course, all of these routine will be for nothing if I didn’t watch what I eat… I’ve been maintaining a stricter but healthy eating habits…

Already lost 10 lbs, I need to lose 15 lbs more!
