Week number fourteen - An Infinite Loop
So, it looks like I am stuck in a infinite weight loop. I am not sure what happened last week, but nothing changed weight-wise for me...and I wasn't very happy about it. It looks like I am going to make a bit of a change in the work out or food consumption...but since I can't really reduce the food too much more, I am going to really alter the structure of my work out. Which I have already started doing...
To punish myself, I freaking went for it on Saturday. I basically worked all of the 'core' and 'stregnth' exercises into a single work out. Usually, the 6 core exercises are split by 2's exercises over 3 work outs and the 7 strength exercises are split 4 and 3 over 2 work outs. On Saturday and again on Monday (took Sunday off), I did 'em all. Here is what the work out looked like:
WARM-UP:
20 minute bike ride
20 paces forward: Walking Med-Ball Rotations
20 paces backward: Walking Med-Ball Rotations
5 lunges forward per leg: Med-Ball Lunge and Reach
5 lunges sideways per leg: Med-Ball Lunge and Reach
5 lunges @ 5'oclock and 7'oclock each: Med-Ball Lunge and Reach
25 paces foward: Band Walk
25 paces backward: Band Walk
25 paces each way shuffle: Band Walk
25 paces: Band Monster Walk (walk while squating)
SPEED/RECOVERY:
10 minute bike intervals - 30 seconds jogging/30 seconds sprint
CORE:
10 reps each way (left and right): Med-Ball Wood Chop
10 reps each way (left and right): Med-Ball Situps
20 reps: Med-Ball Wall Throws - Overhead
20 reps: Med-Ball Wall Throws - ChestPass
6 reps: Med-Ball Wall Throws - b/t legs & overhead
6 reps: Med-Ball Wall Throws - Squat & throw
STRENGTH:
3 sets of 6 reps: Dumbbell high pull
3 sets of 8 reps: Dumbbell squat press
3 sets of 20 reps: Deep Squat
3 sets of 20 reps: Step up
3 sets of 10 reps: Incline Pull up
3 sets of 12 reps: Incline Push up
3 sets of 8 reps: Dumbbell Pull over
I think tonight, I am going to continue the full work out...probably starting to bump up the reps and what not. Can't think of what else to do to get my body back on track with losing the weight.
I think I may start publishing my belly measurement as another way to tell if anything is going on...hm...
Anyhow:
Initial Weight: 220
Week1: 214 [6 pound loss]
Week2: 210 [4 pound loss]
Week3: 206 [4 pound loss]
Week4: 204 [2 pound loss]
Week5: 199 [5 pound loss]
Week6: 196.5 [2.5 lb loss]
Week7: 198 [1.5 lb GAIN] - Boo!
Week8: 195 [3 pound loss]
Week9: 193 [2 pound loss]
Week10: 191 [2 pound loss]
Week11: 191 [0 pound loss] - *Sigh*
Week12: 195 [4 pound gain] - CRAP!
Week13: 192 [3 pound loss]
Week14: 192 [0] - hm.
Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the overall weight loss, I am ust frustrated with getting to 180. Poop.
Later.

sounds like you're working out pretty hard. Are you sure you're not gaining muscle? I went to the doctor yesterday I weighed 197, he said not to worry about it because I have a lot of muscle.
