Gym for 7-days in row!

Posted on 22. Jan, 2010 by Jay in Gym

I think I’m going to try a little experiment. I usually go to the gym 3-5 days a week depending if I feel like going or not. What I want to do is for a week straight go to the gym everyday without missing any days. I think that will help kick start my losing weight again.

Right now I’m at 246 lbs and I feel pretty good. I just want to be in the 230s and then I can hold that for 3-4 weeks or so. Maybe I’m an impatient person, I don’t know, I just need to be in the 230s sooner rather then later.

So that’s the mini-challenge for now.. going to the gym for a week straight starting tomorrow (I’m heading to sleep now).

Cheers,
JayLoss

Best of luck to ya! I always try to do SOME form of working out every day, whether I feel like it or not. It doesn’t have to be big, but I just want to do something.

The USDA recommends 1 hr of elevated heart rate activity per day. Seems high for the average person but I guess we’re getting used to sitting around. When I started at the gym I was doing every day but now it’s every weekday and some other physical activity one weekend day. Could change as I can’t seem to settle in to a sleep pattern, or I haven’t gotten used to the early thing yet. Damn day job.

Best of luck! I’m sure you’ll do it! To start out, I’m just doing cardio four days a week, and strength training 2-3 days a week. I will have stuck to it for three straight weeks, as of tomorrow, so that’s good for me so far (especially compared to my past dismal attempts at exercise!)

I think it will make a difference. Just be sure to mix it up so your body gets some rest.

I had a good workout today and I’m ready for tomorrow. I feel I can lose 5 pounds just by doing this with diet. Which may or may not be a good thing.

I just want to get in the 230s and stay there for awhile and then I’ll be happy. Let’s see how it goes.

Welcome to JayLoss.com! I’m Jay!

I'm Jay and I've come a long way from my peak weight of 336 pounds!

I've documented my weight loss from 268 pounds all the way down to 170-ish pounds in this blog. It took just under a year to do and since reaching my goal weight, I decided to maintain 180 pounds. Now I'm focusing on building muscle and maintaining a healthy body fat percentage.

Of course there have been a lot of ups and downs in losing so much weight. The process of setting goals and reaching them is very exciting. Just having something to strive for and using this blog as pressure to keep me going did wonders.

Stick around, give me your feedback and maybe start your own weight loss journey. -Jay
