Mon 9/9 - Rest

Traveled home from Ocean City on Sunday after a long walk on the boardwalk. I took today off to try to catch up on some sleep and needed a couple days off to recover after the last 2 weeks of WO's. I did some great work w/ 8 WO's and 5 runs, but definitely need some rest.

NOTE: my right quad/inner thigh cramped up REALLY bad last night at 3:30am. I couldn't move it or put any weight on it. I was seriously considering going to the ER for a while. I've never had anything feel like that or hurt that much (from a cramping feeling). I took a bunch of advil and drank a lot of water. I was able to get back to sleep and hope it was a one-time deal.

Nutrition:
I weighed 181.2 this morning. I ate a TON last night or this would have been a bit lower. That's pretty good for the end of a 2-week diet break where I didn't track anything the last week at the beach. Good nutrition day today. I'm not going on a full cut, but want to get back to around 176/177.

A little about my journey...

Hi, my name is Kip. On July 24th, 2011 I made a decision to change my life. At the time I weighed 250 pounds, was sedentary, my blood pressure was 170/110 and I was already on a max dose of BP medication to control it. I was well on my way to turning 40 and having a heart attack. This blog is about what I’m currently doing to improve my health and my journey to get my life and health back under control to get to where I am 9 months after starting (Apr 2012) - which is 170 lean pounds, no blood pressure meds and a new outlook on life.

I decided to start this blog for 2 reasons. First, it's a record where I can look back to see what’s working and what isn’t so I can make improvements. Second, a lot of people have asked me what I've done to transform my body, so hopefully it can help someone else glean some helpful information they can incorporate into their lives to make positive impactful changes. So, here it is. Since I'm just starting this blog 9 months in, I'll post a few blogs to recap in more detail where I was and how I got here. Going forward I'll be posting workouts and training/diet/nutrition information I think others can benefit from. I didn’t re-invent the wheel, so I’ll be referencing materials I use along the way. Below there's a picture taken shortly after a body fat test in May 2013.
