I hit it hard yesterday. 300 situps, 3 miles on the bicycle and 2 sets on the total gym; bench press, curls, and butterflies. The result…

Official weigh in: 330.2 lbs. a new record since what I like to refer to as "the swell up".

I am going to continue to double my efforts so I can make my target for the end of the month. I still have 4 lbs to go and only 6 more days. I am confident that I can do it especially if I ride the bike everyday. I have noticed that I usually drop weight when I use the bicycle. I did some research and found a reasonable explantion for this.

I mentioned earlier in this blog that muscle burns fat. Well, your leg muscles are the largest muscles in your body and therefore require more calories to operate. Calories are the bodies fuel. When you work your legs, its like driving a car with a big V-8 engine. You will burn a lot of fuel. With that in mind…

The weight loss secret tip of the week: "Work you legs often for quick weight loss."

I will put this to the test these last 6 days of the month to see if I can drop the 4 lbs in order to reach my target of 326 lbs. I also mentioned earlier that I have a secret weapon that I have been using. I will reveal it at the end of this month so stay tuned in.

Yesterday, I had cereal for breakfast, a pear for the mid-morning snack, a can of clam chowder for lunch, an apple for my mid-afternoon snack, and homemade vegetable soup for dinner. I forgot to buy popcorn so I had a polish sausage for my evening snack. I also had a special cool down yesterday. The wife gave me a massage that lasted about an hour. Remeber that stress plays a huge role in weight gain and you need to make an effort to perform some sort of stress relieving activity on a daily basis.

I purchased the yoga dvd that I was looking at and it should arrive in the mail by the end of the week. I will give it a try this weekend. It is supposedly designed with weight loss in mind. We will see. If it works for me I will drop the name and recommend it. Just like I am about to do with my secret weapon. It now has my official seal of approval.
