M8:D1 (D618) Confession

July 6, 2009 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

The Muscle Building Fat Burning Video Blog #99

July 5, 2009

 

               

 


What's on my mind today?

Today I have a major confession to make as well as an apology.  When I started this accountability blog 618 days ago it was purely for me.  I had no idea how many people would eventually read it.  I was diligent and posted daily.  In fact, I was probably the most consistent poster out of the group I belonged to at the time.  Over the past 6 months I have been testing a new application that is very important to the future of the company I work for.  I have put my heart and soul into the testing and that has caused my accountability blogging to slip.  My 7th mission is a perfect example of that.  I have not posted since it started. 

As I contemplated all of this, I started to think about shutting this blog down completely.  For selfish reasons, I was very close to just posting a “I’ve shut this blog down” message.  Then I started looking at my site traffic.  I realized that shutting the blog down would effect many people and I wasn’t really ready to do that to people.  I am all about helping others and if reading this blog has helped even one person then I must continue.

With that said, I apologize for not being more regular.  I have now launched the software for my company so the demand on my time is much less.  Starting today there will be a video and picture posted every single day.  If I don’t have time for an extended commentary I will say so.  However, the format of the blog is changing to save me time.  I will be posting my daily video, my daily commentary, my daily workouts and my daily pictures and that is it.  I am not going to post my accountability log daily because (a) it takes alot of time to produce for the web; and (b)  it doesn’t change much.  I will, however, post my accountability log weekly (on Sunday for the previous week) starting next Sunday.  I will also try to do a recap of the week’s events every single Sunday.  I am planning a special day each week to highlight another site (blogger or otherwise).  That’s the extent of my commitment at the current time.

I have been putting the finishing touches on my eBook and think I am finally close to publishing it.  That along with the new software for my company has consumed most of my time.  I have started a new site, https://fitnessexpose.com, and encourage you to go there and sign up for the eNewsletter.  I have a guest author who writes posts on fitness every Tuesday.  I, myself, write posts several times each week.  The information on that site is similar to my accountability blog, but it really has one purpose—educate people about the fitness industry and how to navigate it safely.

I hope that all of you will continue to read not only this blog, but the Fitness Expose materials as well.  Thank you for your continued loyalty.

During M8 I will be utilizing the Combat the Fat program from Jeff Anderson.  Matty and my friend, Don, will be joining me in this adventure.  We weighed in and took body fat measurements and circumference measurements today.

My M8 goals:

Goal #1:  I have a body fat percentage of 10% by September 15, 2009
Goal #2:  I weigh 205 lbs. by September 15, 2009
Goal #3:  I measure 36 inches around my abdominal area by September 15, 2009
Goal #4:  I have biceps of 18 inches and quads of 28 inches by September 15, 2009

Goal #5:  I run a mile in 7:30 by September 15, 2009

I will remain focused on those 5 goals the remainder of this mission.  The goals themselves are written in ink while the dates are written in pencil (thanks Tom Venuto).  TIP:  I have been recopying my goals daily in my journal so they stick in my head and I’ve noticed a much tighter focus on those goals as a result. 

Note to those of you on Twitter

Today was a rest day.  I spent alot of my time today just having fun with the family.  I reviewed the workout plan for tomorrow with Matty as he is joining me on this Combat the Fat journey.
