Ten Pounds in 1 Month; Dropping for Basic Training

[Odysseus32]

Dropping 10 LBS - The Marine Corps Way


Height: 5'7"
Weight: 180 lbs
BodyFat: 13.3%
1.5 mile: 10:30
Pull-ups: 13
Crunches(2 min): 77
About: I am 18, live in Louisiana, and need to do something with my life. I went to college at Southeastern Louisiana University for 1 semester, and found that I didn't feel like getting myself into debt pursuing a career that I wasn't even sure that I wanted. I decided that I will join the marines as a reserve, let them pay for my college, and in the meantime, find what I want to do with my life. I PT every Wednesday and Saturday with the Corps and run every day. I have to drop my weight down to 175 before I can ship to boot camp, but I figure if I get to 175 it will be difficult to stay there, so I am attempting to cut to 170. I have always been a force in the weight room, but this bodyweight stuff is a lot harder than free weights. I have been improving a lot though every time I drop weight I feel my body getting stronger.
Supplements:

I will be posting weight and pics pics every Friday. I have a cheat meal every Saturday(vary sometimes) as well. Nothing huge, but something to kill my cravings for the week. Sunday is my off day(varies) for exercise. Daily recap, every day with calories consumed and exercises performed.

GOALS by Feb 20th
Weight: 170 lbs
BodyFat: 11%
1.5 mile: 09:50
Pull-ups: 16
Crunches(2 min): 90

Friday, January 28 2011

Basic Info
Day: Friday
Time: 5:45 PM CST
Distance: 4.5 miles
About: Mapped out a 4.5 miles run on MAPMYRUN.COM around a neighborhood. Started out jogging until I got to about 1.1 miles. from there I did Indian runs for about 3/4 of a mile. I was by myself, so I had to imagine people in front of me. I probably looked pretty silly, but oh well. I went from Indian runs to the same pace jog until i got to around 2.3 miles. From there I stopped and ran 4 sprints, approximately 200 meters each. I took a break just long enough to catch my wind in between each sprint. Once I was finished with the last one I began jogging until I got to a little past the 4 mile mark. Once there, I lunged 3 sets of 50 meters. I then ran 2 more sprints about 100 meters each. From there I jogged until I was about 100 meters from my ending point and sprinted to the finish.
Feeling: Very good feeling. I find myself catching my breath a lot faster after sprints and my endurance has went way up. Hopefully I keep getting better.

Saturday, January 29 2011

Basic Info
Day: Saturday
Time: 9:00 AM CST
Distance: Circuit Training
About: Started out flipping a 200 lb tire a little less than 400 meters. Me and another guy flipped it about 75 yards, and then everyone else joined in after they finished their tasks. We stopped flipping a little more than halfway through and everyone carried it. We then started our circuit training. We were required to complete four rounds of:
-Station 1: Tire Flip/Punching Bag carry
One person carries the 175 lb punching bag about 15 yards while the other person flips the tire 15 yards. The two people then switch and go back.
-Station 2: Ammo Can Simulation
Two 40 pound dumbbells are pressed overhead 30 consecutive times.
-Station 3: Pull-ups
Ten military style pull ups are performed.
-Station 4: Box Jump
15 Box jumps on a 2.5 foot wooden box.
-Station 5: Squats
Two weight bars, one 45 pounds, one 65 pounds. Each person does 15 squats with one bar. The bars are alternated between the two as rounds are completed.
Feeling: Absolutely wasted. It was most of the groups second time doung it, but it wa smy first. everyone told me it was going to suck, but I didn't believe them. They were right..

Sunday, January 30 2011

Feeling: I woke up and my legs felt fine, which is odd because the majority of the workout yesterday was working out my legs. I was, and still am SUPER sore in my forearms and biceps. basically both my arms are sore and I feel it whenever I do anything. Other than soreness in my arms I feel wonderful.
Plan: Eat, watch The Office, play NCAA, check up on some basketball scores, and now I am watching the pro bowl. Pretty boring day, but I'm not really looking to do anything too exciting. Tomorrow should be a bit more exciting, though.
Setting the Bar: I set the bar at 26 miles last week, and I got there by Friday. I'm gonna up it this week to 30, which is an average of 5 miles a day. I SHOULD be able to get it, depending on what we do for PT on Wednesday. if we don't run then it's gonna be a bit more difficult. But I am staying optimistic.

And now an option for my Wednesday cheat meal...

Tuesday, February 1 2011

Basic Info
Day: Tuesday
Time: 9:00 AM CST & 6:00 PM CST
Distance:
9 AM - 1.5 miles
6 PM - 2.25 miles + Chest & Tricep workout
About:
9 AM - Woke up at 8:30 took an oxyelite and met some future marines at Alexandria Senior High school track to get a time on our mile and a half. I set the timer on my ipod, but forgot to lock it, so it hit against my leg and stopped on 3:11 so we didn't have an exact time. The time was probably around late ten minutes, but who knows. We get an offical time Saturday.
6 PM - Went to anytime to get a workout in. Started out with 4.4 miles on the stationary bike as a warm up and then started. My workout went like this:

DB Bench: 3x8, 2xFailure
Set 1 - 45 lb DBs
Set 2 - 55 lb DBs
Set 3 - 65 lb DBs
Set 1 F - 75 lb DBs(13 reps)
Set 2 F - 80 lb DBs(8 reps)

Incline DB Fly: 2x12
Set 1 - 20 lb DBs
Set 2 - 20 lb DBs

Straight-arm Pullover: 2x10
Set 1 - 35 lb DB
Set 2 - 40 lb DB

Rope Tricep Pull-down: 3x12
Set 1 - 50 lbs
Set 2 - 50 lbs
Set 3 - 50 lbs

Skullcrushers: 3x10
Set 1 - 55 lbs
Set 2 - 55 lbs
Set 3 - 55 lbs

DB Overhead Extension: 3x10
Set 1 - 60 lb DB
Set 2 - 60 lb DB
Set 3 - 60 lb DB

After the actual workout I hopped on a treadmill and ran 2.25 miles.
Feeling:
9 AM - It was drizzling and still fairly early so I felt a little groggy. Ran a decent speed, though, and didn't feel all that winded.
6 PM - Felt great on the DB Bench. The last set really killed me but I finished the rest of the workout strong. Rope pulldowns were really tough, I may decrease weight a little bit. Running on the treadmill was really easy compared to how it normally is.

I LOVE TACO BELL

Diet
Extra: So after working out we went to the recruiting station, sat around and BSed for a while and then decided to eat. They convined me to take my cheat meal today, and after thinking about it, it made a lot of sense. I had just ran, I was gonna run later in the day, and I would be lighter for when I ran our IST on staurday. So I headed over to Burger King with them.

Wednesday, February 2 2011

Basic Info
Day: Wednesday
Time: 9:30 PM
Distance: 3 miles
About: Note: MY NEW ASICS CAME IN!

So the gunnery sergeant came in today for the first time and didn't really know what all we could handle, so he decided it would be bets to just do some pull up exercises and some ab work. So we did that, but honestly that was about as beneficial as doing nothing. Except the pull-up part may help us in the long run. I decided to run on my own after.

I did 3 miles in this blistering cold weather haha. I got a new personal best time on it. 20:43. Not stellar I know, but much improved from my old 21:30 time. So I guess I'm good.
Feeling: Felt great all-around. I started off really fast on the run and I thought that was gonna be a problem, but I guess not. I guess I can keep the same pace if I set my mind to it.


Such a sad day...

3 mile Run on treadmill afterwards
Feeling: The warm up cardio really got me going, a great warm up. I had two other exercises to do, but they didn't have the machines and I didn't feel like improvising so I left them off. I don't care much about biceps anyway, to be honest. Lifts were a little low, but like I said I don't give a **** about my biceps. Wish I could have gotten more on the rows, but it has been a little over a year since I've done them. 3 mile run on the treadmill toasted me. I was wearing 2 layers of clothes so maybe that had something to do with it? Maybe, but probably just a bad day haha.

Saturday, February 5 2011

Feeling: Great, fit, in shape. I feel very great all-around not sore at all.
Plan: I woke up and actually expected to do an IST today, but it got canceled. I was super bummed, thus making me feel like ****. It was at this time that i relaxed I only got 5 hours of sleep last night, and was going to relax today. Know what else? I was gonna take my cheat day today. You know why? Because it only makes sense. Here are the reasons that it is much wiser to take the cheat meal on Saturday than any other day.

-Technically, it is the last day of the week. Why not finish strong?

-I will be lighter and rid of more waste on Wednesday and Saturday on the days that PT actually counts.

-I will look better in my Friday progress pics because I have been eating healthy for a week.

-It is more convenient than any other day, because people socialize on Saturday's, normally in restaurants.

-Because it is the day after I weigh in, and if I have made progress I think I deserve a treat. Most people will call me soft-willed, but eh, whatever. I need a cheat day and it hasn't slowed my progress yet.

But yeah other than that, today I went to our local park with a friend and chilled. It was fun. College basketball for the rest of the night, probably.
Setting the Bar: I set the bar at 30 last week and didn't even come close. So I am going to lower it once more and hope to see my goal reached. I will set it at 24. I will be running Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for sure. I'm gonna try to run most on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday more than anything so hopefully I can get it done.



SYNOPSIS: Woke up and ate a hardy breakfast because I thought we were going to do IST. After I found out we weren't and decided to cheat I had what I have been craving for a while. A caniac from raising Canes. Got the nutrition down below. Other meal was some ramen noodles and god ole' PB. I know not really much of a cheat, but it's one of my favorite all-time that i can't eat due to how loaded with carbs it is. Oh yeah, cheat day will always be on Saturday now.

have you talked about your calorie intake with anybody that is knowledgeable?

It looks like you are not eating enough.

Which can hinder the weight loss as funny as that seems.

And you can break down and get sick too

Been there and done that ages ago

I'm eating fine I've researched it quite a bit. I was actually thinking the same thing starting out, but I have felt very energetic, as well as rejuvenated every day. Most things I ready say adapt to what your body can handle and so far I haven't shown any signs of weakness, dizziness, or loss of energy.

Thanks for the comments!

I ran a marathon back in the 70's and beat the crap out of my body for over a year prepping for it. But I did not eat worth a damn. I would get run down pretty easily. Part of the reason I cautioned is that running and exercise is addictive. It can reach a point where your body may be telling you to take it easy but your brain says you need to continue. As long as you can get past this problem and know when to back off you should be fine.

Good luck to ya
