Big Man In The City

Recently a buddy of mine did a photo shoot of me entitled "Boss of Tampa" and I was really surprised as to how much size I had lost. The scale may tip me to 271 lbs but I am swimming in clothes that used to fit me well (have to go shopping soon). Check your boy out!

Prepping for the 8 Mile Run

I have ascended... when I started this blog so long ago I had a goal in mind to become larger than life and I have flown, stumbled a few times, and did well.

It is hard to decide what the "goal" is right now outside of just being in good shape... I look over the workout routines from the past and I was getting stronger but not necessarily in good shape.

The image to the right is how I look currently; my weight is 271 lbs, I wear it well, and I am jogging up to 8 miles every Sunday - can you believe that!? The days are typically lifting at 6 am - 7:30 or so, then work - except on Wednesdays I do 10 x 50 yard sprints with a couple buddies from work.

I want to get to the point of doing 2-a-days but injuries slow me down at times (right now it's my back and wrist)... oh and I am an owner in another business I helped start... time waits for no-one.

It would be a good idea for me to check in here once in a blue moon to show progress as I push for the ultimate goal of 245 lbs brick, and the ease of running a half-marathon without issue. Lofty goal but it's what we N7 Operatives do :) Here's to further ascension and a possible seat among the fitness gods in this life.

The Run After The Move

Yesterday was tough, I was coming off of 3.5 hrs of sleep and one meal of some Big John's Alabama BBQ so I had to lean on the Hydroxycuts to bring me up. At around 6:30 pm after work I hit the trail and did a solid 4 miles of jogging w/ intervals. I was proud of myself for the first lap as I opted out of the warm-up walk and just ran the 1st mile straight. Dinner was fajitas with no protein shake and I slept badly.

Good thing is I feel lighter and I am slimmer. The fight to maintain my muscularity is a tough one though but I need to see the scale on 240 or less before I settle. I left my gym clothes on accident today so it may be martial arts reps for today's venture.

Back to the basics
