60 mins

Bad cold led to sinus infection, started antibiotics yesterday afternoon. Didn't expect much from workout today. Started with squat for 6 reps @RPE7,8,9 -5% 1-2x6. Felt decent warming up, never hit a wall as I "expected" and went 5# heavier on top set and 5# heavier on backoff than last week. First back off was @9, so I didn't do another. Very pleased with this. Next was incline, one count paused for 6 reps @RPE 7,8,9 -5% 1-2x6. Never felt great during these, same as last week and I hit the same #'s as last week. I call it a "win" considering how I'm feeling, and I'm still losing weight. Finsihed up with sets of 8 SLDL, about the same as last week. Very solid workout considering I've been sick, haven't selpt well last 2-3 nights and I'm losing weight. Very pleased. Ready for a break and the beach in a few days.

Nutrition/Weight:

178.8 this morning.

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.
