Lost more than a Kim



Lost more than a Kim


The last few weeks have been an interesting; I was able to prove to myself that I am a weight loss cardio warrior. On my week off from Wal-Mart, after Kristy’s surgery I wanted to see if I could push my body to its limits. I committed to Damir that I would do 2 hours of cardio plus my session or class each day. So Monday I did the “hill of hell” with Kim, it was awesome we kicked butt on the hill, after the hill, I hit the hamster wheel for 30mins to make it a 2 hour cardio session. Tuesday I arrived at alive around 2 and did a 2 hour hamster wheel session, took a small break and did an hour training session with Damir. Wednesday was day my body hit the wall. After pushing hard with 2 hours of cardio on the hamster wheel, I thought I was going to be kickboxing for 30mins and holding pads for 30mins. That did not happen went full tilt for the hour with Damir holding pads for me. It was brutal I came home and just fell asleep. Thursday went the same as Tuesday, so as Friday came around I was a puddle. But it was worth it, as I dropped 5 pounds to bring my total to 140 pounds down.


In the last week I have had a few of changes in my life, the atmosphere at work has made a complete change. It is must more tense. My nutritional coach has changed to my friend Kim, which has changed my food and when I eat completely. My cardio after my session was cut out, so Kim could make sure we were doing the food correctly. So Damir changed Ryan and I sessions this week to a much more cardio focused session. Tuesday’s session was intense, he pushed hard but nothing to crazy. Thursday was a totally different story, it was insane!! We started with 110 burpees and 110 rope slams, this was hard. I just kept focused and pushed through! After that we moved onto 110 Ball slams and 110 Ball walls tosses. This was like the calm before the storm, so I was able to blow through that pretty quick. We ended with what I think is called plank rows 110 of them.... but I could be wrong, and 110 judo stand ups again could be wrong about the name as well. The rows were not as hard they were in the past. But the judo stand ups, this was very hard. In the past I have only been able to do ten. Now Damir want 110, I did not think I could do that many, but I got into a rhythm and was able to do it. It was an awesome session.


After my 2 hours of cardio on Friday I weighted in. I stepped on the scale and it stop on 374 lbs. That was a 6 pound loss for the week! I was 146 lbs down!! I have lost more than what Kim weighs; I lost more than a Kim!! It was an awesome week!!!

  1. Brian, you look great in that picture! I work out hard core almost every day but nothing like you and Kristy. However, you two inspire me to keep it up.
