I wanted to make this journal because I have transitioned away from the spiritual subliminals and for the last 3 weeks have been listening to Emperor Fitness and Spartan. I was already tracking calories when I first started listening to Alchemist and APX, but after the first week of listening to them, I started to lose some interest in spirituality. After two weeks I added in Emperor Fitness, the next I added in Spartan and removed Alchemist and APX. The way I saw it, was that subliminals are like supplements, they aren’t needed, but they help what you are already taking action toward. Right now I want to totally focus on improving my health and losing weight.
This week marked a big week for me. I am down to 300lbs which is a total of 17-pound loss for me since the beginning of February. I also haven’t drank any alcohol since February which has helped with the weight loss. I started a workout program this week and successfully completed week 1 of the program.
From Tuesday through today I listened to:
Emperor Fitness ST1 x2
Spartan x2
Beyond Limitless Ultima x1 (prior to doing Russian lessons)
Paragon x1 (while going to bed)
Prior to working out, I listened to the Supercharger tracks. I also used the Beast Unleashed during workouts when I would get tired. On Wednesday I pushed it really hard and walked at a 3 incline at 3.2 mph for one hour on the treadmill. At the 40 minute mark, I wanted to stop. I played Beast Unleashed on repeat for the last 20 minutes to finish the hour. That was a good victory for me. I haven’t walked that long in a while and really pushed myself.
The plan I started was the TA2 Build program. I got the program but didn’t feel like spending $70 on bands that would likely break so I bought a set of them on Amazon that match the weight but were $30 cheaper.
Some mental things I have noticed, came in the form of planning my days around completing my workouts and how I am going to eat. Which is new for me. Next week, I took some vacation from work and I planned out how to get my workouts in prior to leaving work so I don’t fall off the plan. Another thing I have noticed is the mental shift from Spartan. I feel unstoppable. I mentioned elsewhere on the forum that I picked up learning Russian again. I gave up on it a couple of months ago because I platued with it because I didn’t have anyone to practice speaking with. This week I picked it up again and scheduled a session with an instructor to do an online lesson. I’m excited and the fear I had with talking in the language is gone.
I like the shift in pushing myself physically and mentally. This is truly some phenomenal stuff. I’ll do another entry next Saturday.
