Got the idea from @Master weight loss log.

I like being able to see the weeks progress on one post rather then individual days in a physical journal. I think visually seeing what ive done every week will help me stay accountable with my workouts

i think ima fill in ahead of time so I can plan what I want to do on certain days as well.

Sunday 4/18/2021

Couch to 10k Run week 4 run 3
5min warmup walk - 3 min jog - 90sec walk - 5 min jog - 2.5 min walk - 3 min jog - 90sec walk - 5 min jog - 5 min cooldown walk
Ran with my buddy and I was able to keep a conversation while running for most of the time. Feels good to have decent enough cardio to be able to talk and run.
My friend is currently in the Police Academy, and has been running like 5 times a week. For the last min of the 5 min jog we upped the pace and I was out running him for a bit. He said once I picked up the speed he couldn't keep up, but towards the end of the 1min I slowed down. Feels good to know my cardio is on par with his. Also the new running shoes I got are amazing. My feet feel lighter and bouncier while wearing them. Brooks Ghost 13 for anyone wondering. Amazing shoe so far.

Did week 3 day 2 of the 100 pushup Challenge
20-25-15-15-30 = 105 pushups total
This was fairly challenging towards the end. The first 3 sets went well, but the last 30 pushups were tough and I really pushed myself to get from 25 to 30 pushups at the end for that little bit of extra gains.
Really like the progression of this program. It makes doing a lot of pushups easy so far. Didn't ever really think I would be able to do 105 pushups in a single session. Usually I would do like 20/20/20 and be gassed. But this makes it doable.


Monday 4/19/2021

Workout: 2:10pm-3:45pm
3 min Jump rope
Deadlift - 135x2 - 155x10 - 185x5 - 205x5 - 255x5 - 255x5 - 260x5

Deadlift felt fine. Might have to think about getting a new belt since the one I bought doesn't fit since I've lost so much weight. Good and bad problem.
Skull crushers didn't feel great. very uncomfortable on the elbows which is unusual for this exercise for me. Might have just been too heavy

Weeks end Reflection

Average morning Weight 183.98

I feel happy with my physical activity. I either worked out or ran every day of the week besides the rest day. I probably could have done some "active rest" on the rest day. Like 30 min on the stationary bike. Not really a huge impact though. Weights went up during the week in the gym so that's nice. I don't think i was pushing to failure on some lifts so there's still some room to grow and find my max weight per exercise

Diet stayed pretty tight the whole week, and the scale reflected it i think. Dipped into the 183lbs which is nice. So ~1lb lost this week which is fine. initially I wanted to lose 5 lbs this month but my diet was thrown off because of my vacation. Now I'm more trying to stay consistent with weight loss rather then pushing my body to meet deadlines. A steady 1 or 2 lbs per week is fine with me. Ill get to where i want eventually.

Weeks Reflection

Weekly Morning Weight Average - 183.1

This week was pretty decent. Happy I'm progressing very well with my running. I'm basically back to where i was when i quit the program last time. I'm almost up to running a 5k which is one of my small goals. Pushup program progress is going very well and I'm finally showing some results with my physique. Biceps looking and feeling bigger, forearms getting back to where they used to be. My grip strength is down though so i may throw in some grip work like once or twice a week.

Weight loss is going very well. I was stuck at 185 for a little bit but now I'm finally getting down into 182 consistently. Very happy with the consistent results. Haven't really changed my diet at all but i think just adding more cardio, getting my steps up, and staying consistent is what is working. Been eating basically the same shit every week and I'm not getting bored yet so that's good. Got my cravings under control for the most part. I think allowing myself to eat a sweet or 2 some times helps me not crave. It also doesn't break my diet if I have a piece of candy.

Not at all. Burger was like the size of a baby's hand and still somehow managed to have 350 calories in it. It was probably the first time I've been back to mcD's in years and I'm definitely not going back.

Hey! 1st time dropping by this thread, and I have to strongly agree. Like what you said, I also counted the calories of one small McDonald's burger, and it's got 350 calories!! Same with Jollibee: I ate their Tuna Pie for easy calories, but that shit is 281 cals. There's also the risk of the calories fluctuating because you never know if they made it with more oil or not. Ever since I started counting calories, I have never been more disgusted to eat fast food.

Also makes me wonder how these girls keep drinking boba & never get fat.

Can't agree more with this statement. Almost anything that's packaged is a risk when counting calories, the package labels are somewhat inaccurate as well if you do the math for how much protein, sugar and carbs are in whatever.
I haven't had the luxury of drinking Boba. My conscious wont let me waste a whole meal on a drink lol. IDK how they don't get fat either when some go out to boba like several times a week.

Weeks Thoughts

Weeks morning weight Average - 182.3

Weight loss is going very steadily at around 1lb per week. Very happy about this. My diet is very stable even with having to account for work ordering door dash like 4 days of the week. Workouts are decent, but I am most likely going to change from a bodybuilding style of working out to a more functional training with compound movements. Spiderman Crawls really show how weak the body is in functional movements like crawling. Big Biceps are nice but i do want to train for agility, and functionality rather then juicy muscles. I believe that switching will be more beneficial in the long term. The six pack will come along with this style of training.

Looking good on that photo man!
I havent got into calculating all my calories yet, I think I should really get into it.
Do you have a link to that couch to 10k training, I would like to take a look at it
Thanks! its great to finally see some results in pics.
You seem to be making consistent progress on your weight loss so your eating habits and calorie intake are most likely fine. Counting calories just helps me know how much to eat mostly for portion control. A lot of what i track is guesswork since its hard to calculate how many calories some items are. But u get a feel for it after a while.
I use the Zenlabs app on my phone for the Couch to 10k program. Not sure if you have apple or android but here's a link to the google play store app so u can see what to look for.

If you need a quick bite that's still healthy and not crazy-high in calories: Qdoba, Chipotle, and other Mexican places are good options. The worst thing you'll get there is maybe they use more oil than needed when cooking the meat. If you're doing low-carb, you can skip the rice and ask for extra beans.

@Adam Appreciate the input! Always looking for healthy low calorie alternatives. I'm a fan of chipotle, since they list how much calories are per meal. Makes things nice.

I think I cheated myself a bit on the last 70 pushups. I was kind of hinging at the waist for the last 22 pushups. Tried to pushup really fast which caused my form to break a bit. Focused hard on proper form for the last 30 of the 50 pushups. Did "50" without having to get out of pushup position which is a win in my book. I think I've graduated to week 6 finally!

Final Weeks Thoughts

Weekly Average Weight - 180.94

Weight loss has been steady but I am not happy with my eating habits. Several days of the week i went over my calorie maximum and basically for no reason other then lack of will power. i would attribute it to being dehydrated, stressed, or just lazy. Several times i remember eating something extra and just thinking "oh well its just one day of the week. It wont hurt too much" but i did that several times so thats no ok. I think that now that im going to be moved out to my new spot this will probably subside a bit since i wont supply my house with snacks. My mom buys lots of chips, and candy for herself that i end up eating. Ill probably only have frozen fruit or maybe protein ice cream to eat so that should help with the snacking

On the positive I am really close to being 180 on average throughout the week so the weight loss has been going smoothly. Can't look only at the negatives. I've been working out consistently. I ran my first 5k in around 27-28min so thats a major accomplishment. I also am able to do 55 pushups in a row at almost max effort. Probably could have done another 5 to hit 60, but i was not really trying too hard.

Over all it was a so-so week with a lot of improvements to be had. This coming week will really be testing my will power to continue working out as ill have to commute back home to my spot to workout then go from there to work. Been looking into what's called "kaizen" to try and optimize my day. Thinking about ways to not just have driving time be only that. And possibly work on brain or cognative training while driving so that its not just wasted time for commute. There's a lot to improve on, and I'm happy that i am making baby steps towards it.

Today I hung out with friends for a birthday event, and also my other friend just for fun. Lead to some bad eating so I wanted to get back some calories with cardio. Not the best way for a diet but it helps keep the calories somewhat down. Monday will be the start of my stricter adherence. Idk why I've been slippin so much lately.

Thoughts on the Week
Average Weeks Weight - 178.3
Somewhat inaccurate since i did not weigh myself one day.

Weight loss has been steady. I'm consistently weighing in under 180 which is very nice. Still getting in the groove of working out since my home gym is now a 40 min drive away, but im making it work the best i can. Even though my diet majorly slipped this week i got back on track eventually. Just have to have it be a one off kind of thing cuz i was hanging with friends.

Weeks Thoughts

Weeks Average Weight -175.9

Still happy with the rate I'm losing weight. Going to still cut to 165 and see how I look then. Not having too much trouble losing weight while thinking about eating slightly more. So my new weekly average is between 1800-1900.

Progress in the gym has been slowing down. The log doesn't reflect how much I worked out but on some of the days that have no info I did workout. I need to try harder to do something most day. At at lease go back to my home gym like 2 times a week minimum. Either wake up earlier and work out longer or go more often for less time. Picked up a kettle bell so hopefully I can supplement some workouts with that.

Awesome stuff! You've been losing at a good rate over the past month. Keep it up! How tall are you? I don't think I saw it anywhere in the posts, but I could just be missing it.
Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how consistently I've been losing weight, nothing really too drastic. I'm 5'10"
