I weigh 238 pounds! i know I'm freakin' heavy, but I have lost a lot in a month and many weeks after. How is it possible? I went back to what basically works out for me - swimming.
Personally, I see swimming as my biggest tool among the many in my toolbox. Prior to that, I've been lifting weights and did a lot of cardio in the treadmill. My metabolism is quite screwed-up so that no matter how I pound the weights and the cardio, my weight barely move.
Then, on Father's Day, I accidentally inquired about promos and what have yous at Holiday Gym and voila! They actually have. I took the 4 months promo and started re-learning how to swim again.
Boy, I must tell you, it was torture in the lungs and heart. The pool is only 25 meters and I couldn't make it to the end swimming freestyle.
I had fear each time I go. Not only were triathletes swimming away for the Ironman that just happened earlier today, I was too embarrass to be seen swimming the way I do.
Each day was a challenge. But thanks to the Biggest Loser contest we joined in, I had to get to that mental page and really get to the grind.
Today, I can swim freestyle 100 meters straight! But there's more! Ha Ha! Yeah, before that, I go 500 meters warming up with breast stroke.
Next week, since we are very close to the deadline, all the laps and the hours are going to be bump up in order to burn more calories... and fats!
It's gonna be tough because I know everyone is working just as hard. I have to believe that they are working as hard as we do. It would be awesome to win though.
Will post some of the pictures later of just about anything under the sun.
Meanwhile, here are the essentials....
