WO over lunch today. Was debating about doing something moderate in weight or trying to go heavy with low volume. Didn’t feel like I had a lot of energy and this weekend was hard from a WO perspective, plus the diet made me stick with moderation. Incline was good. Not real heavy, but paused reps, so still got some good work in. Pulldowns were good. Then I did shoulder press with bent over rows. Both pretty good. Overhead triceps extensions were good, although my R elbow was barking at me. Curls were OK. Heavy weighted crunches were good. Going to keep weight progression going here. Finished up with some rear delt, chest raises and body weight crunches. As has been the routine lately, I did leg raises in the captain’s chair during warmups. Good WO. Really hungry and nothing but a bunch of protein in my future today :(

Weight:
I weighed 173.4 this morning. Down from 180 Monday morning. Ate enough sushi Sunday night to feed a family.

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.
