Hi family, it’s never a dull moment over here. Before giving you this week’s updates I thought I would share with you what I’ve been up to lately.
About 3 weeks ago I was about 226 lbs. Right now I am currently 205 lbs and I plan on getting down to somewhere in the 180’s. For me that’s small because I do have a lot of muscle under my flubber. I’ve been training and exercising to some degree since I was about 16.
So I don’t see myself getting to the 170’s though I will never say never. When I was 33 I got down to 176 lbs and I felt that was to small for me.
So the question is what exactly am I doing?
It’s really nothing too special, I am going to bed earlier. This means I am not snacking as much before bed as I usually do. I still do treat myself to a mochi every now and then. I get up between 4:30 and 5:00 am.
That’s what I was doing when I was in my early 30’s. I do some light exercise in the morning and try to exercise again in the afternoon so that’s 2 workouts a day.
Let me just say though, I am not breaking my back working out. My workouts are rather easy. I could push harder certainly but right now I am seeing where my weight goes with a little exercise.
My exercise includes Treadmilling, Mountain Biking and weight lifting. I don’t include my martial arts training in that because martial arts has always been apart of my routine.
I am always training. It’s just what I do. Sometimes that training is me doing my forms, most times I get my training in while I am teaching my students. In my early years of training though I did a lot of solo drills.
My Challenge To You
Here is the challenge: For the rest of the month I challenge you to do these 3 exercises 5 days a week, for the rest of the month.
The numbers don’t matter you can do 5 of each one or 50 of each one. The exercises are Iron Pillars, Crunches and Push ups.
Here’s how ==> Iron Pillars, Push Ups and Crunches
The idea is you are creating a healthy lifestyle habit.

That’s what’s up!!!
Like you i stepped on a scale last week it read 250 I am 5 foot 10 inches. Back when i was 30 I was only 190 when i was 25 180 6 percent body fat. With that I put myself on a diet as I found I was not eating right and my workouts that used to be two a days plus training were once in a wile and training. I am also working for that past mark of 190 lbs for me and think this is just the thing i need to get me in the right mindset to do that however there is a catch to this. I will not only be working for the loss of lbs but in honor of my past as a retired soldier from the 101st Air Born Fort Campbell KY I will be doing no less then 101 reps of each by the end of the month. In the drive to loss 60 lbs and forget were i left them I will take this challenge and raise it from 50 to 101 will let you know how it goes.
Thank you for your service sir. Absolutely let me know how it goes 🙂
