Hey everyone, thanks again for caring enough to take some time out of your day to read about what is going on with me in my struggle to go from fat to fit. I want to update you all with the news of what is going on with my life (Speaking fitness, after all this isn't a gossip blog :D ) and the training that I have been putting in. Sorry there isn't a lot but its a lot going on right now. 1) I have created a new workout plan. My plan will be up on the blog as soon as I get started on it. Whoa!! That won't be too far away so you can all see me going through and updating it as time goes by. 2) I have agreed to attempt a full marathon by May 2015. Exact date to be announced at a later time. This happened before I was forced to withdraw from a 10 K run that I was set to do on September 13th. (Food poisoning) 3) I have come to learn that sometimes posting my business up on facebook, instagram and twitter can be motivating to some, so a few of my good friends (Check my instagram @danilofitness to see who) have reached out to me to help them with putting together a plan of action like the one I made for myself. I like the idea and have offered my help to them so that is new and exciting for me. Why I wanted to share this is so that people are aware that I am in the Vancouver area hosting boot camp style runs so if you are wanting to get in a bit better shape and are in the Vancouver area, hit me up. 4) I will be moving closer to Vancouver so I will be having more time to train, what does this mean for my Muay Thai training that is out in Coquitlam? For now I still remain at Stand up Muay Thai. The people there have been amazing and have guided me physically and mentally through the past year and I highly recommend you check them out. Don't know what Muay Thai is? Unsure if you would like it? Contact me reach out and ask someone that trains it. We are more than willing to take on beginners to Muay Thai at Stand Up so all are welcome. I think that is it, for now anyways. I can not wait to be back on board with what I am doing. I have learned from my previous program that I set up what to do and what not to do. I can not wait to get up and get going again.

Hey there sports fans, thanks for following up on my progress and caring enough to check into what is going on in my life. For those of you who asked for it here is the final results of my 8 week program. Sorry I don't have all my final information. But here is the final bits of info that I do have. Currently these are my numbers: Weight : 246.2 LBS Height: 68 Inches Chest 46.5 inches (Down 2.5) | Waist 43 inches (Down 1 inch) | Hips 42 (1 inch gained) | Thigh 24.5 Inches (No change) week 5 : Weight: 248 LBS Height: 68 Inches Chest 43 inches (down 6") | Waist 39" (down 5") | Hips 40" (Loss of one inch) | Thigh 24 Inches (Loss of .5") Week 1: Weight : 251.8 LBS Height: 68 Inches Chest 49 inches | Waist 44 inches | Hips 41 Inches | Thigh 24.5 Inches So yes I know my results are not complete and they came in late (Missing is my body fat calculations that I would get from my previous gym but I have had a bit of a break away from them). There are many excuses I can give as to why my last few weeks were not as productive as my first 5 but instead of that, I will let you know what I am doing to get better at what I am doing. I have taken on a new task for myself and that is coaching some friends that have reached out to me online or at work or I have offered to help. I know that my determination is strong and I won't let them down. My new workout schedule will start as of October 1st and run until December first. A whole two month time frame. Shortly my new workout plan will be up on my blog and I hope you all keep looking into it. And while my last post was late I know, I will be more accountable to you my friends and followers. HOLY SHIT!!! Tomorrow I do my half marathon. I am going through a range of emotions and I needed to let it out and telling people about what I am going through online is great but this way I can express it and let it all out and not have to think before I say anything MEOW! So the range of feels I have are confusion (don't know how to feel about this run), excited to set a new personal best, scared of being a wuss and not finishing my run and a whole other range of emotions. UGH!!!!! It seriously feels like it was just yesterday that I started my plan of an eight week workout program. I also wanted to let you all know I am running this alone :( this is not a race I registered for, its a promise I have made to myself, so that I push myself to be the best me I can be. So wish me luck I will be posting more on Saturday letting you all know how I feel, felt and did. I won't let you down because I refuse to let myself down. Wish me luck yellow duck Thought I would jump on quick and let you all know, you being, whoever you are that reads this. I have set a new goal for myself for running. Well it is really two goals in one sooo part one is this: Run a total of at least 40kms a week. Part two is a more long term goal Run 21.54kms by August 15th Oh and also I have increased my run to a 10k run which I have done twice now before that were 6 and 8. Feeling frickin awesome but I think I still have a way to go so that I can get my recovery completed. Also I busted my knee up a bit jumping rope in the garage :/ Thanks for reading and if you have any tips training advice or just want to say you either are supporting me or hate me leave a message down below ;) So this is the run I have now started to do with my coworkers. It is between 4.9 - 5 miles. We ran this for the first time today and I am so proud of what my running team has accomplished. Our times were as follows 58:49 for me (Still recovering from hamstring injury) 1:00:24 For Ashley and the big guy Darren finished off at 1:01:24 (First time running this distance) WOOOOOO feeling proud and excited to have such a great team around me that is willing to push themselves and push me to do better.
Can't wait until this injury is something of the past and I can move on to a better place in my fitness. So in all the excitement of training, I pulled my hamstring. Nothing too serious but it has slowed me down but not held me back. Training is still going well but I think for now I will have to extend my eight week program to a 10 week program. That said, my running has slowly been increasing since my injury on the first weekend of my program starting. I have not gone for any runs over 6k at this time but plan on doing eight tomorrow. No new record time will be set in this run, its more just to test out the leg and see how I feel if I can push harder. Weight training is going great!! I am so glad that I have been able to incorporate it into my program and will shortly be adding yoga in on a few extra days when I have a chance to do so. Also I have not updated my diet yet so I will be posting it in the days to come once I sit and figure it out fully. I do have a program that I am using from Trevor Linden - Club 16 out of Burnaby that I really should get on, considering I am paying for it. The last thing to touch down on is my Muay Thai training and that has been nothing but amazing. A special thank you to all the people I have a chance of working out with at Stand Up Muay Thai for making me push harder every day. So that all being said, thanks for reading, any comments you have are welcome below, also for anyone looking to start training a little more explosively with sprints and running here is something to consider reading, an article on how to prevent and treat hamstring injuries. http://www.coreperformance.com/knowledge/injury-pain/hamstring-strain.html |
