The Adventures of Fat Yip

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, INDOOR LAX!

Energy level is fine throughout the day but have been getting uber hungry right before lunch and especially before dinner. Ate around 7pm, Fantast NBA Draft from 7:45-8:45pm then off to Dry Ice Hockey Arena in Oakland for the last Indoor Lacrosse pickup game before the new year.
At The previous pickup game I felt tired and sluggish and still managed to score 4 goals. This week I never really felt that tired. And if I did it was only momentarily until I could catch my breath for a few seconds.
I’ve pretty much been constantly sore every day for over 2 weeks now and last night was no different until I stepped into the arena. I felt faster than I have in a long time and was able to recover from sprinting much quicker too! I felt like a BEAST throwing hard picks and playing even more physical on defense. It was truly gratifying seeing that even though I’ve lost over 6lb that I am MUCH STRONGER now too.
My buddies Chatch, Vosburg, and Stevo all poke fun at Fat Yip but they did suggest I should become a trainer for those looking to lose weight and are interested in training for triathlons and getting fit. I’ve succeeded bit by bit on my adventure thus far but am in no way a certified trainer. I don’t know if what worked for me would work for everyone else. Let’s see if I dropped back down last night…

Day 16 – 168.0lb/14.1%

BEAST MODE

Let me get Day 15 updates out of the way… Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, GYM.

Went to the 24 on Van Ness last night instead of the usual one on Bay since the Van Ness one has a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool. I was REALLY sore from my extra running on Sunday and was in need of relaxing, stretching and loosening up my muscles. It’s also a much flatter 0.8mi from my place as opposed to a very hilly 1.1mi. I thought the 24 on Bay was pretty big and nice but I forgot that this one was also pretty nice too. It also had towel service! I might be going to this one from now on. Ran, lifted back, bis, did boxes, abs, then sauna and steam room.

Was hungry ALL DAY yesterday and thought after my awesome workout that I must have lost more weight…

Day 15 – 169.6lb/15.0%

It has been a pretty rough but also very exciting 2 weeks. I definitely have never put this much strain on my body before in such a short amount of time. I seem to be finally gaining more muscle than I’m losing fat. I was at 168.8lb on Sunday night and gained 0.8lb in 24 hours. I have been working out about 6 days/week. This has been a hodgepodge of basketball, lacrosse, lifting, and running.

A few days ago I would have told you it would be possible for me to drop to 165lb or so but I honestly don’t think so anymore, especially if I continue to work out everyday. I think I’m nearing my balanced weight of 169lb or so. We’ll see what happens these next few days!
