Tomorrow.. Stretch X...Ahhhhhhhh.

Day 22; Core Synergistics

Good Morning!

I did good this morning considering I just did Yoga X about 8 hours ago.  Feeling mild soreness and a little fatigue but i think it's due to not intaking my 3000 daily (that shit is really hard to do without thinking about eating junk).  Got my protein shake and ready for the day!

This is recovery week so tomorrow will be Kenpo..Kiya! Biatch! LOL

Enjoy your day people!!!

Until tomorrow people!

Im in my size 34 jeans and my pants are loose even still! Have I dropped another inch? Possibly

I will check all my stats at the end of week 4 and pics will be included.

Until then people!!!

Lost 2 Pounds!!! Finally.....!!!

After my speculation that the Creatine I was using was hindering my weight loss. It has been a week since I stopped using it and sure enough.. I am down to 215. I will be taking my 30 result pictures next week.

Until then!

Day 14: Kenpo X!

Goood Morning!!!!!

Good Lawd!!!! Kenpo kicked my ass this morning but I do know why. I do massage therapy but..... I forgot to ground myself which means the energy transference from who I was working on went into me.. meaning that their pain transferred to my body and I felt it this morning. But I did finish although i was totally out of balance.

MHP Dark Rage Pre workout formula Cola Fizz

Greetings,

Today i started using Dark Rage Pre-workout formula. MHP is famous for making great supplements but I have to say that is tastes like ass, but it did do it's job.  I did work out harder and my heart rate was still in my safe range.

I will say that the after effects are a little scary because I felt a little jittery but i think it's because i may have not waited as long as i should have before i got started. I will make a note to wait at least 20 mins before i start my workout after i take it.

I'll post my week end results on Friday.

P90X... Obsession or Dedication?

I had a good friend of mine ask me if i was becoming "obsessed" with working out. After I thought about it, I had to ask myself.."remember when u used to eat whatever you thought u could, but then you had to start buying new clothes because you were getting too big?"  I now have to buy clothes because I am too SMALL!!!

A lot of times, some of us get used to eating whatever either because it's cheap, convenient or both. I chose to eat better. I chose to work out and monitor how much weight i lose as well as what i eat to compliment my workout. It's a challenge but ask yourself.. is it more challenging to discipline yourself to commitment with a healthier lifestyle, or go to Mickey D's every other day and eat whatever is on the menu?

I love when my choices are questioned because I am able to show and prove the results of my change.

What is your greatest challenge? Is it what you eat...or is it what you hear from others???

I love a challenge either way. Let's show those who question our obsession and prove it with progression.

The Journey Continues....

Creatine... it's been fun...

Good afternoon!

After 3 weeks of working my ass off, burning calories and eating right, my weight has plateaued at 216.  Im thinking that the Body Fortress Creatine Performance powder that I am combining with my protein is causing me to retain more water and therefore although I may be losing fat and burning muscle, the water retention may be slowing down the fat burning process. So until further notice, i am going to try another alternate method of fat burning. Green Tea, I may even go back to Lipo 6. We will see.  For the next week im just going to take my protein shake as my recovery drink, nothing else. I will update on next Friday with hopefully a weight loss difference.

Also.. if u guys have any questions...thoughts, suggestions, hit me up here. I do appreciate all of you following me on my journey. It actually motivates me to do better.

Stay focused.... and have a great weekend.

Kente's Log Stardate 11.8.03

I am putting in a little supplemental this morning because of something that happened yesterday. A friend of  mine posted some pictures of themselves online and I mentioned to them that they are "letting themselves go" as of late. They then said to me, "oh so you're saying that Im fat"? I replied, "no" but i do see a difference in your appearance".


Folks let me say this: If I am your friend, workout partner, whatever and you take offense for my honest yet constructive opinionated criticism, then my apologies.

I do not in any way shape or form mean to hurt anyone's feeling's because I myself am not perfect nor am I where I need to be physique wise.  But as someone that cares about his friends I will tell u what I see but I cannot control how you feel about my opinions.

With that being said... I'm not making any more excuses. If you're really down with getting in shape, eating the right foods, and working hard motivating yourself then great.  But I'm not going to hold my tongue esp if you've worked out with me before.

Peace.

Day 6: Kenp O...M...G!

Gooood Morning!!!!

First time doing Kenpo X. Wow....Good workout though. I didn't write any stats because...hey they didn't either LOL. 

2 things I do need to work on... Balance and Flexibility. I did the complete workout but i was moving around way too much during each session, so I will focus on breathing and maintaining my balance. I did miss ONE day which was stretch X but i felt that I can skip that being it was just stretching.

Tomorrow... Back to Chest, Back and Ab Ripper X
