356 Days, 12 Months, 1 Year.

It has been exactly one year since I started this blog, started working out, and started to change my life. It has been a long road for myself, having lost 60 lbs, going through 4 jobs, graduating college, working full-time, running 5K's and 10K's, working out w/ Seth, hitting the dating scene, and towards the end of the year, dealing with sickness and illnesses back-to-back. I honestly have not worked out consistently for over a month now. I have not trained w/ Seth for over a month, and today will be our 1 year anniversary together, working out. I have no idea what he has in store for me, but what he doesn't know is what I have for him. As for this blog, this is the end. This is the final post. To anyone who has followed my blog, thank you. I want to give special thanks to my Personal Trainer Seth Franklin, who has helped me every step of the way towards my goals. I want to also thank the people at 24 Hour Fitness Club 209 for helping support my weight loss journey. Lastly, my friends and family who has also supported me too. Lastly, I want to say Good-Bye Fat, Hello Muscle.

Month Eleven.

It has been a little more than 11 months since I started working out, and here is an update about what is going on. The past couple of months, I've had to deal with some health issues, three different infections, my liver failing, and whatever else you could possibly think of. In April, I was not eating right and not working out. I went up to 190 lbs at one point during the month. In the past couple of weeks, I have been eating right, eating healthy, watching my portion control, and not eating late anymore. I avoid fast food places when I can, and still have not been working out, but once again due to illness. I feel better now, I went running at Memorial Park [and I have noticed my cardio is not exactly up to par]. I weighed myself today, and I am currently 177 lbs. I have lost a total of 63 lbs. On June 1st, it will be one year since I started my weight loss journey, and it will also be my last training session with Seth. I can no longer afford training any longer due to: Myself moving to a new apartment, my bills, and my goals have been met. Now the only thing is to maintain and keep striving for my health.

Slump, Slop, Slow.

I have hit a rough patch in my journey towards my goal. I am gaining the wrong momentum toward achieving my new goals. I have become lazy. I have become tired. I actually have become sick, and I have not been working out, eating right, and I am just watching all my hard work go down the drain. Maybe I am too hard on myself, but it's all true. I need to get myself back on track, and the only way I know how is to find something completely crazy, so that I can work my way to it. I want to do the Houston Triathlon in September, but I hope that's gonna be enough to help me. My knees and joints continue to shut down on me, I have had a hard time breathing lately, and above all, I am always tired...probably the sickness talking, but I need to do something about it.

Update on how I feel about my workout, diet, and health.

I am starting to see a really big difference from the old me to the present me. Somethings that I still want to work on are things like I still hate my gut, the area around my neck, and how weak I am if I compare myself to everyone else. I haven't been doing so hot on my diet and cardio. I feel like I'm not giving it my all. I need to find some motivation. Something in the back of my mind for me to work for. I have my goals, but something with a deadline. Maybe I should sign up for the Warrior Dash, another 5K or 10K, or something challenging. I will be researching all of those things soon. I lost my second mp3 player, perhaps why I have not been doing a lot of cardio. I will need to buy another one....which brings me to my next point. I need to save my money. I need to save up for an apartment. Save up for graduate school. Save up for more personal training. This post was really just me ranting, but at least its an update.

New Year, New Protein, New Workout, New Me.

It has been pretty hectic since the new year started and I am seeing so many things change right before my eyes. New people in my life, new friends, and reconnections from the past. As far as my workouts and weight loss goals, I am currently 185lbs and five lbs away from my goal. I have started a new work out with Seth to build muscle and strength. I am going to try to update more and more, but eventually this blog will end and a new blog will emerge. Thanks to everyone who reads my blog from time to time. I hope someone does read this thing.

Work and Schedule.

So since my last post, I have been working almost every day from 1230-9pm and sometimes later than that. I am having a hard time figuring out my workout schedule as well as my eating schedule. I will eventually figure it out in time, but for right now, I am struggling.
