Technically, my half training doesn’t start until July, but I’m taking the 3 weeks prior to that as pre-training. I’m going to need all the extra help I can get.

Geez freaking Louise, my triceps feel like jelly and my chest is feeling muscles that it didn’t even knew it had. After being awakened at 2:30 in the morning by my apartment flooding (upstairs neighbor’s washing machine never turned off and just kept on running and running like the Energizer Bunny, flooding three apartments below him), I did not want to work out as scheduled. … Continue reading Beast Mode Muscle Build Day One
On August 5, 2012, I weighed in at 153 pounds. On April 7, 2013, I weighed in at 130 pounds. I find it hard to believe that I have actually lost 23 pounds over eight months. I still get on and off the scale just to look at the number and make sure I’m not seeing things. I know I have lost weight because I … Continue reading Beast Mode Goal: Trading Fat for Muscle
In 2012, I did a 12 week workout program that I set up myself entitled Beast Mode. I did relatively well on it and saw results. AND THEN I STOPPED WORKING OUT. Fast forward to now, I set up a Beast Mode 2013. Knowing what I did in 2012, I made this just as equally hard, pushing myself to the max and then the realization … Continue reading Beast Mode 2013
A little update on Beast Mode…I lost my excitement for it. I got bored doing the work out and being on it. I thought the little changes I was adding in every week would keep me motivated to do it. I was wrong. I’ve still been doing the work outs just not as dedicated as I had been. I’m holding steady at the weight, but … Continue reading Beast Mode Updates
This week was better than Week 6 which I took off, but not by that much. I worked out 3 days, but I’m finally getting back into the swing of working out. Continue reading Beast Mode Recap: Week 7
This week, I didn’t do anything. I didn’t track my diet nor did I work out. I took the week off because I was so busy with work related events. I missed working out every day. I felt my body revolting against not watching what I ate and not working out. My body really did sort of shut down. Lack of sleep for two weeks … Continue reading Beast Mode Recap: Week 6
Beast Mode…last week didn’t feel like beast mode even though I hit all my cardio & strength targets. I felt fatter than usual and was harder on myself than usual. When I weighed in a week ago, I was at 146.5lbs and my target weight is 130-125. This week was the first week I looked in the mirror and noticed changes in myself. I’ve been … Continue reading Beast Mode: Week 5 Recap
