Phase I, Day 19

Oops! I slacked off yesterday! Sorry guys. This week has been a challenging one. I've been fighting off this nasty cold (still have a lingering cough) and my workouts have definitely suffered because of it. I've pushed myself as hard as I could, considering the circumstances, but definitely need to get back on the high-intensity track. On a positive note, my weight is creeping closer & closer to the 200 lb. hurdle. Just as a reminder, before I started this challenge, my weight had crept up close to 220. In fact, in January I remember stepping on the scale one morning and seeing the needle touch the "220" indicator and I almost cried. Yesterday after my workout the gym scale said 206. 14 pounds dropped since January! 10 pounds dropped just the past 18 days alone. More importantly, I've got only 10 days to lose at least 7 more pounds. Remember, my weight needs to drop "below 200" in order for Phase I to be a success. Tough but not impossible. I need to do cardio for the next 10 days. It must be done!

Do you like the pic? Thought I'd throw in a flex just to enhance the progress I've made to date. I can't wait to see my abs. I'm convinced I've got a pretty gnarley set underneath all that fat. May 25, 2009 will be the big unveiling! See you tomorrow....

  1. Great to hear your feeling better Ray, I'm sure next week you will give the cardio a big push. That last 7 pounds won't be impossible especially with plenty of cardio thrown in. The Flex looks cool, give me a another week and I'll do a similar pose! We've all got an inner six pack I'm sure, keping up this hard work together should hopefully see us all find it! Just remember, eat clean, shred hard, think big (abs!)..
