Wednesday Weigh-In #5

Sorry guys, but I am not weighing in today .... It is my 15th wedding anniversary and decided I deserved a week off without having to worry about the numbers on the scale. I still would like to hear from the rest of you on how your progress is coming along.

Wednesday Weigh-In #4

Okay this weeks weigh-in is at 196.2 lbs ... I am stuck at a plateau, I need to find something to jumpstart again. I have been jumping between 193 & 197 for about 2 months now. Anyone have any ideas I can try even with my crazy no sleep schedule.

MEET OUR TRAINER : Blake Robinson

Blake Robinson's passion for fitness and exercise began at an early age as he played recreational soccer at age five. He is now an accomplished personal trainer with a BS Degree from USU in Exercise Science and is a Certified Specialist in Fitness Nutrition by the ISSA.

Throughout the years, Blake has found his greatest joys and toughest challenges on the soccer field, the rock face, the gymnastics mat and in gyms through out the U.S. After he finished his education at USU and his employment with The Sports Academy and Racquet club where he helped clients lose hundreds of pounds of fat and gain several inches of muscle he became a top tier personal trainer at Equinox Fitness in Manhattan.

As the Fitness Director of the Alta Club in Downtown Blake has enjoyed working with clients across a broad spectrum because each client brings a new set of challenges to the gym and there is nothing he enjoys more than a challenge that pushes him beyond his own limitations.

Blake uses that passion to empower clients to reach their health and fitness goals, push farther than they ever thought possible and attain a level of health and fitness they dared only to dream of.

Wednesday Weigh-In #3

Okay, I almost thought about not weighing in, but decided I better do it anyways.... I weighed in at 196.4 ... So I gained, but I knew I would. 1st off I have eaten ice cream every night this past week, because my loving brother brought over 4 different kinds for our gaming party and left all the leftovers here, and ice cream is my biggest weakness. 2nd strike against me is mother nature is causing havoc in my body this week. I always gain 2-3 pounds when she decides to through my hormones out of whack for a week each month.

Well Good Luck to the rest of you... hoping that next week will be better for me.

Also I am sorry these Wednesday weigh-ins keep getting posted on a thursday, but it is still my wednesday since I don't get home from work until now. Any of you are also welcome to start the Wednesday weigh-in post if you get on here before I get the chance to.
