Julian’s Journey Weeks 4-7

There was a schedule change for Julian and had company in town so we’ve been thrown off our normal schedule.

He did have some “fun” with company and gained 4 pounds..that took a little over a week to get off.

Now eating is back on track and training about 2x a week until we figure out a new schedule. When he’s not training with me he is still getting in some cardio with running.

End of week 7:
Starting weight: 256.6
Current weight: 244.8
Total lost: 12 pounds

Julian’s Journey Week 3

Week 3 has been good! Some struggles are keeping motivated at times, he feels good though and feeling thinner in the waist. Eating has been really good. His progress on weight loss is what’s keeping his eye on the prize! There was 1 missed appointment due to sleeping through the alarm clock but he made up for that workout and boy did he pay for it, hense the fetal postion picture haha! We did the Cardio Circuit, that day hehe.

Meet Julian Pena. He has never really lifted weights, when he’s wanted to lose weight just ran and did cardio. He can generally lose weight fast when he diets and runs.

Monday- Circuit training for 1 hour with weights and 30 minutes of cardio/core

Tuesday- Train chest, tricep and shoulders for 1 hour and 30 minutes of cardio

Wednesday- Rest

Thursday- Circuit training for 1 hour with weights and 30 minutes of cardio/core

Friday- Train back and bicep for 1 hour and 30 minutes of cardio

Starting weight: 256.6
Height- 5’11 Sit up test 1 minute: 28
Push up test (until exhaustion): 10

Goal to lose 56 pounds and just tone up

Eating: we are doing high protein, lower carbs, I’m using mainly the paleo way of eating with some oatmeal in the morning. He sends me pictures of his food daily and water intake is a gallon a day.

This is to show the ups and downs of the weight loss journey, and there are ups and downs, that’s why it’s a journey. His hard work will pay off! Here we go!!
