Sorry It's Been A While!!
I know it's been a while since My last entry, but I Never stopped grinding for one moment!! Since My last entry I've been on My Grizzly! I started the B-12 Protocol @ the Cherry Creek Weight Loss Center & I've seen a considerable increase in energy & stamina. They have several different plans & shot you can get to fit Your weight loss plans & goals, but thanks to Groupon I started the 25 week B-12 for $99 bucks!! Since they are selling one shot for $15, three for $40, and a bunch of other shots & plans that hit You in the pocket book I figure the B-12 Protocol was a good place for me to start!!
On 4-20-13 I ran the Rave Run Denver @ City Park!! It was My 1st 5K race & I finished in 36 minutes. There was know No official timer, but the race started @ 8:30 pm & I was walking to the car by 9:10 after crossing the super backed up finish line. My guy Noe is a Beast!! He was at the starting line stretching when the race started & he finished 1st in his age group, 2nd overall, then came back & ran the last half mile with Me! (until I was going too slow & he told me he' meet Me @ the Finish line) I thought since I been working out for over a year & lost 70 lbs. that I was gonna get right out there & run. I was Wrong about that!! Put on My Under Armor, New Shoes, Hoodie, & Music. The tights had me looking Fast as Ever! Pull up @ Washington park for My first official run & soon found out why I had took it to the elliptical & treadmill in the 1st place. I once tried running outside last year & the shock to my body was ridiculous. I took the slow lap around Wash Park without giving up & absolutely Hated Running that day! The tights had my shorts sliding, My hood was too big, I was a hot mess. I learned a few things out there though. An outfit that is more form fitting is ideal for running & that I'm going to have to work on it. I talked to My sister Chi later on that evening & see asked Me did I follow the 5K training regimen she sent me. That would be a Big Negative! So I looked one up & established a regular running schedule, condensing a 6 week program into 4 week. Sidelined a few day by inclement weather i'd hit the treadmill to make up the slack. Overall I was satisfied with My finish & I have added a few 5K races to My summer schedule. I'm Officially a Runner!!
My push up game has gone through the roof!! I've never been much on doing push ups ever in my life. When I start working out I could barely do 10. I actually started doing them on My knees. I used to go over My guy 'The Juice's' crib & he'd tell me about his 500-1000 push up day & I'd be like DAMN!! Since I've been doing this B-12 Protocol I've been doing push ups like crazy. After reading a Men's Health article that said in order to get the pectorals & arms together I was gonna have to step up My push I took off!! Started with sets of 10, then 15, 20, & I've gotten comfortable with sets of 25. Two weeks ago I did My personal best of 235. I topped that last Thursday with 350. The turned around & killed that number with 575 the very next day. Friday I hit My all time high once again & knocked down 700. I started with set of 40 up to 320, did a set of 30 to even it out, & then set of 25 to top things off. I think i'm gonna get one of those snazzy push counters that connect to the phone app.
Since I been training all year without a break this year & I usually do six weeks on & one off, I'm taking a much need week (or ten days) to recover, get a massage, and start looking into changing My program. About to get into some Yoga & Spinning courtesy of My dear sister Chi who got Me a membership @ Breathe Yoga & Spinning Studio Denver & with My good friend Del who encourages me daily to come try it @ Core Power where she does the damn thing 5 days a week. I have My P90x & 20 Minutes of Insanity on the dvd player ready for Body Transformation 2.0! I'm suppose to get with Thal of 5050 A Movement Company & "Get Trained!" I'm looking for a New bicycle & some Roller-blades too! This will be the most active summer I've had since being a kid. I'm starting My 2nd Master Cleanse on 7-7-13 for anyone who cares to join me. I know that My goal is to be "Fit By 40," but at the rate I'm going, I'll be Fit by 39 & Phenomenal by 40! On that note, let me knock out some push ups. I almost feel lazy if I don't do a couple hundred a day now!!
