Rick's Weight Loss Transformation

Day 10. Date Night

It seems far to infrequent when my wife and I get the chance to have an evening alone, so we headed out on a date to the movies.

We saw Inception. Good movie – very close to being a great movie. It was a little long, but moved at a fairly good pace. And I didn’t even induldge in popcorn or pop. I stuck to a bottle of water.

So today my eating was right on track – healthy and spaced out nicely, all good choices.

I didn’t get to the gym. I’ve got it in my schedule to do a weights session tomorrow morning at 8:30.

Day 9. The Gym

Today was another good day in the books.

I started out the day with 20 minutes cardio, then ended the day lifting weights. And in between I ate lean and clean all day.

A good day all around!

Day 8. Sleepy

Sleep. That’s all I did today. My wife and kids were at the inlaws and I barely left the bed. Part of my depression, I guess.

I ate lean and clean – not enough likely – but my choices were decent. No exercise though. Tomorrow will be a much more productive day.

Day 7. Playday

It was a great day – okay, maybe not perfect – but it certainly was fun.

Today my wife and I took our teen son and went for a day at the beach on Lake Erie with some friends. Had a blast. Then after, we all went to Port Dover for a fish dinner. Yummy! I even tried to make the best food choices I could, all things considered. Ended the meal with a very small icecream cone.

Didn’t get to the gym as the beach day took up most of the day. No worries – it was my first and only day off from cardio this week.

Day 6. Water

They say drinking water, and lots of it, is a necessity in losing weight.

Well it’s been a challenge for me to get enough. For me, a Coke was always what quenched my thirst. As of 6 days ago, that addiction was broken. In it’s place is chocolate milk and water. I’m just not sure I’m drinking enough, but I’m trying.

Today was another good day – I ate well and put in 30 mins on the treadmill at the gym. Yeah!
