Brandon, Who Lives At Home

Yesterday and today I started doing the Biggest Loser Boot Camp Workout, for the first week you do this strength training cardio combo that's 25 minutes. Honestly it's been obliterating me, I use my 10lb dumbbells for most of the workout, there are squats and lunges and all kinds of things and that first day I wasn't sure I would get through it to be quite honest, but I did. Today I decided one day was enough of hearing Bob Harpers voice instruct and command, I needed music to give me that power I needed, and I preformed much better today than yesterday but still was a sizzling  hot mess, I don't see myself adding on the next part of the workout after the first week, I'll just stay at my own pace, and move on when I've mastered this first part. This workout is really going to develop muscle so, the gears in my head already want me to stop this and go back to doing my full body cardio via Leslie Sansone because muscle weighs more than fat and I could get...

I got everything set back up with Planet Fitness, so I can start going again which is pretty cool, it will be interesting to see how this effects the journey moving forward. Currently I am not sure when I will go or what my routine will be. I got a Simply Fit Board last week, its a workout balance board you simply twist on ( supports up to 400lbs) .

The Simply Fit Board (mine is blue) Now that I'm home eating is back to normal, I'm ready to kick things in gear.

I spent a few days with friends over the weekend. I had plans to do things different, they knew of my weight gain and how it affected me and even apologized for their contribution and claimed that they were starting to eat healthier themselves. The reality of things was the contrary however, someone decided to order two large pizzas Sunday,  I had several slices. Today I decided to leave. I had to get out of that environment. It really forced me to look at things deeper, its early in the month and Ive already given in to poor eating habits.  I think I'm just going to have to go on hiatus from visiting those friends indefinitely, maybe Ill figure out another solution out down the line but for now this is what I have to do. Peoples actions often contradict the things they say which is why I faced such hard battles with distorted thinking last year. I'm not in any type of bad place about this at the moment, but this is just some clarity that in terms of going backwards, there...
