Sorry about the delay in posting this. I've been at Adtech during the week and then just overall very busy catching up from all the work I missed while at Adtech.

On to the weightloss challenge! If you don't know what I am talking about, you can read the original post and the first update. Make sure to follow the updates over at Tyler Cruz's as well!

If you've been following the competition, you'll know that I am working out hard on Wednesdays with my friend Kanoa and posting updates on those days.

This last Wednesday, I went in to weigh myself. I was pleasantly surprised with the results!!!

Last week, you can see that I started in at around 189 lbs. Not bad, but it puts my BMI at just around 25 for my height (5' 11"). My goals are to get under 25 BMI, lose at least 10 lbs, drink less soda, get a nicer stomach, and overall just become healthier.

After weighing myself on Wednesday morning, I was encouraged to continue working out more. I didn't have a lot of time due to meetings and having to prepare for the meetup202 that night but I still got a pretty good work out in.

Kanoa and I ran 1.54 miles, some on an incline. This equated to roughly 20 minutes of jogging with certain parts walking fast and then sprinting for the last minute or so.

After that, we did about 10 different ab exercises which is my favorite part.

This next Wednesday, I will be sure to do a video (since I'll have a bit more time) and not just of me running.

Overall, I'm on my way to a healthier life style... That is until I received a devious gift in the mail from my competition...

Smart... Now this means war.

I'm thinking of ways to get him back and while I have yet to come up with a good idea, I'm hoping it'll include my affiliate link in some way! Hahaha. ;)

    Sending personalized bottles of Jones soda? That’s simply genius. I love it! I’m looking forward to seeing what he gets in return…

    Good luck with it man! It’ll be worth it. Affiliate marketing can def. get you out of healthy habits (stayin up all night, juicing w/ the coffee). I’ve down 10 lbs since the 1st of april, but still a long way off from my goal of 30 total. Kicked the coffee habit though, so I’m happy there.

  3. I think you are now definitely on your way to get healthier. Keep it up!

    Good luck reaching your goals man, I know you can do it! My wife and I decided last October to get in shape for a trip we were taking to Thailand and I was able to go from 204 down to 182. If an old guy like me can do it so can you!

    Now that we’re back I’m gonna flip it around and start adding some serious muscle. You can follow my progress at LegitMuscle.com if you’d like. Should be interesting as I plan on adding 30-40 lbs over the next year. Can I do it? Hell yes I can and so can you. There’s nothing like having a goal and exceeding your expectations!

    Keep the goal in mind and don’t cheat yourself. There’s nothing more precious than your health.

  5. That is cool a personalized bottle of Jones soda, you are getting there before you know it you will be healthy!

    Jon, heads up. you’ve got a couple of php warnings that showed up in the RSS reader. Some problem with your yet another related post plugin.

  8. MLDina says:

    LOL Looks like Tyler stepped it up a bit- have you had any of the soda yet? I hear he has a sweet tooth….shhh!

  9. Tyler Cruz says:

    Actually I don’t have a sweet tooth at all – I prefer savoury, and so unless you can send a steak through the mail, you’re going to have a hard time getting me :-)

  10. I’ve never had Jones Soda, but one of my other friends raves about it all the time too. So I guess I DO need to try it :-) Any recommendations on flavors for a first timer? Blue Bubble Gum and Fufu Berry sound pretty interesting lol

    • Fufu berry is great but my personal favorite is the Berry Lemonade. Seriously, the best thing I have put into my mouth that I could swallow. It’s probably the single biggest cause of my weight gain! haha

  11. [...] can check out last weeks update here, the first update, and the original [...]

  12. My friend and I have a weight loss challenge and whoever loses the most after 3 months gets a free trip to Las Vegas plus a C-note from the other person. It’s a simple pound for pound competition.

  13. [...] you’ve been following me for a little while, you’ll know that I’ve been doing a Weight loss Challenge with Tyler [...]

    Your MessagePersonalized Jones soda… nice. I must admit Jones has some pretty tasty drinks out there. The first time I tried one was at Panera Bread. It was one of the Jones natural products. It was a strawberry flavored drink. I remember it was interesting because it had a gorilla on it. I remember looking at the nutrition label and I was astounded by how much sugar was in it!
