Rick vs Brad week 3

Well it looks like we both made progress but not as much as the first 2 weeks. That's expected though, we really should average about 2 pounds a week throughout. He did lose more than me during this week and has currently lost more percentage than me so the pressure is building. :) We'll see if he can keep that up.

week 3 measurements are up

Not too much progress this week. My diet was good. The only down side would have to be the amount. I know I didn't eat enough and that can hurt. I had 2 cardio sessions and 3 lifting sessions (2 upper body and 1 lower body). My upper body is recovering a lot quicker and because of this I feel next week needs to be changed up a bit. This could also be why my progress wasn't as much as it should have been. My body is getting used to the workouts and it's not forcing it to change. So next week has to be upped especially on my upper body workouts. It should be interesting to see how this affects me.

You always need to change things up when your body gets used to a workout or a fitness routine. My strength is increasing and my energy level is rising as well so things are still good, just not as good as I want. :)

I'll have Rick vs Brad updated as soon as I get Brad's weight.

Friday Week 3

Things have been going well during week 3. I haven't missed a single workout and my diet has been good. I haven't drank as much water as I should though. That used to be so easy for me but lately I just haven't been doing it. Lots of stress has hit me over the last week and a half. Possible loss of job, relationship problems, etc. So the fact that I stayed the course and didn't slip up and give up on a workout or eat pizza is a HUGE thing. I really believe I'm on track now and I'm already feeling much better. Can't wait for the old me to return and I can start wearing everything in my closet. :)

Rick vs Brad Week 2

The first chart will be posted this Wednesday. I also will put my my own measurements on the site later this week hopefully on Wednesday too but it depends on time.

WEEK 1 down

Well I've officially finished up my first week of getting back to the "old Rick".  Results were good but I'll have to wait a few days to get them posted on the site.  My Windows laptop crapped out this morning so I won't be able to edit my website with the results.  You can still go over to

to see updated stats but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few days before RICK vs BRAD is posted...plus I have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to get Brad's results anyway.  He's a slacker.  :)

Rick vs. Brad

OK, it's on guys.  A friend of mine is challenging me to a weight loss contest.  Each Sunday I'll post our progress for bragging rights on my website.  I'll put the link on here this Sunday once I make the charts and get them posted.  Keep checking back and leave comments on here to root for me.  :)

Day 3 and going strong

My diet has been spot on and my workouts have been good.  I'm getting back into the swing of things with the program and I'm trying to keep everything online updated as well.  Each Sunday I'll post my measurements up and I will continue to do this until I reach my goal of losing 50 pounds.  See my next blog for more details on how my webpage at www.runfatboyrunyan.com will look.

DAY 1

OK, I know I've had many "Day 1"s but this time I really do mean it. This is a new start for me and one that I need to accomplish. Things have changed a bit in my life and there is now no reason for me to fail once more. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of only barely fitting in some of my clothes. I have a closet full of good clothes that just sit there with only a handful of shirts and a couple jeans that actually fit...kinda.

So this is a new start for me. I'm at 252 pounds right now and I will get back to my "fighting" weight by summer. In order to do this I'll need to stay focused.

I will be updating this blog as often as possible, hopefully every day and I go through this journey. Knowing people are checking this out and my sight are great motivators so I appreciate you taking the time to read these. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.
