Well I finally did it. After over a week without doing it, I did it. What did I do? I WORKED OUT! Was it the hardest thing that I’ve ever done? NO Was it as bad as I imagined it would be? NO Now it’s time for the dangerous question: Why did I wait so long to workout? I DON’T KNOW (“Why” questions are dangerous.)

Here’s my simple morning workout:

• Dumbbell Upright Rows with 20lb Dumbbells… 3 sets of 12 reps
• Dumbbell Squats with 20lb Dumbbells… 2 sets of 12 reps
• Body Weight Squats… 1 set of 12 reps
• Dumbbell Clean & Press with 20lb Dumbbells… 3 sets of 12 reps
• Modified Push Up… 3 sets of 12 reps
• Dumbbell Curls with 20 lb Dumbbells… 3 sets of 15 reps

How do I feel? A little tired but I feel like I accomplished something, which adds to my self confidence. If I don’t workout, it takes a little of my self confidence away.

I weighed in yesterday at 509 lbs, a 10 pound gain from the previous week. It sucks, but it is what it is. I’ve gone back to the drawing board, and am getting back to the basics. Eat less, work more, and drink a heck of a lot of water.

I now have a theme song for my 300 pound challenge: Frantic by Metallica

Here are some of the lyrics of the song:

If I could have my wasted days back,
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at karmas burning,
Or Look ahead, but keep on turning.

Do I have the strength
To know how I’ll go?
Can I find it inside to deal with what I shouldn’t know?

Could I have my wasted days back?
Would I use them to get back on track.

Keep searching
Keep on searching
This search goes on
This search goes on

Frantic tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock

I’ve worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that i’ve made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick tick talk of hurry

Do I have the strength
To know how I’ll go?
Can I find it inside to deal with what I shouldn’t know?

I’ve worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I’ve made

I will still be walking the 10k this Saturday although I am completely unprepared. I don’t foresee any problems, I will probably just be worn out and sore after the race.

Finally, please mark your calendars for Monday, November 9th because I will be posting a “preview trailer” for the 300 pound challenge. It will be motivating and inspiring. This trailer will be a two minute or less video preview for the upcoming 300 pound challenge deadline in April 25, 2010. This video is either gonna be really good or really cheesy, but everything is better with a little cheese

The countdown begins: 6 days until the 300 Pound Challenge preview trailer.
