After four days without running, I am back and running again! I ran an easy 3 mile run on Wednesday in 24 minutes and I ran a pretty good 45 minute fartlek run on Thursday night averaging 7:19 minutes/mile pace. Today I ran another easy run; 4 miles in 31:34 (7:53 minutes/mile pace). Apparently I’m [...]
“So when are you going to be done with your diet?” I get this question quite often from friends, family and co-workers. And when I tell them that I have another 6-8 or maybe even 10 lbs to go they all act surprised or tell me that I’m fine as I am and I really [...]
I’m sidelined. I can’t run. And it’s driving me insane! Last Friday I had a small medical procedure done that involved me deciding not wanting more children. I have two beautiful kids, a lovely wife and I’m very happy with my life as it is. So the bottom line is that because of my decision [...]
26 weeks! I have been working on my transformation for 26 weeks! Considering that I have been overweight for almost half my lifetime 6 months seems like nothing. But when I look at yesterday’s photo update it blows my mind just how much I have changed in the past 6 months. It’s almost surreal to [...]
Did my 10×400 today. I felt like I was about to puke. It means I did them right. Averaged 5:34 min/mile for them which is pretty awesome! #
Believe it or not, this is the 6 month anniversary of me starting this transformation. I have come a long long way from the ugly 237 lbs (107.5 kg) fat guy. And for the past 6 months I have taken a photo of my transformation status every 4 days without missing any one of them. [...]
Last weekend I ran another race. It was another 10K and I did alright. at my last 5K race I ran a 19:29 which means that in theory I should be able to run a 40:32 10K. How do I figure this? There are calculators on-line that do just that. They predict race pace from [...]
I really like today’s photos. All the bloating is gone from the last one and there is no signs of water retention from the excess sodium over the weekend either. All in all I think this is the best set of pictures so far which is great as it shows I’m still heading in the [...]
It’s a bit belated on the status update but I assure you it’s accurate and to the point. So let’s get through the raw numbers real quick just so we’re up to speed on my transformation. As you can see my calories look pretty decent for the week considering I was out of town for [...]
Here is another installment of “Greg in his underwear”. This picture looks worse than the last one and there is a reason for it. I was carb loading in this picture meaning I was eating excess amounts of carbohydrates on Friday. The reason was that I have a race on Saturday and I wanted my [...]
