and thanks again expressvpn for sponsoring this video now let's change
gears and talk about this incredible milestone with my weight loss challenge
time to get on that scale seventy eight point eight oh my gosh barely two months
into this three month challenge with James over there wanderlust estate and I
hit my goal I don't know if I lost more weight than him I kind of took last week
off as I mentioned it was hurting the channel although if you watched
Wednesday's normal video to the end there was a secret link to the actual
weight loss Wednesday video and it's kind of cool because I dug up my new
sous vide cooker and did some salmon and lost some pounds again but but this is
um this is by far the biggest one yet this this is I hit my goal I was two
hundred and ten point four pounds on January first and here we are just 60
days later 66 don't know how many days I think 66 days later Oh 31.6 pounds lost
now I am not surprised by that that does not shock me because if you've been here
with me the last two months you would have seen the incredible hard work and
sacrifice that I have put in to make this lifestyle change I mean I don't
have a freezer full of tater tots and pizza and chimichangas anymore my
cupboards aren't full of chips and candy and popcorn I have made some incredible
changes and a lot of different changes cardio or strength training every single
day of the week I'm walking more my own Frankenstein combination of an Atkins
diet Body for Life diet and then recently this last month intermittent
fasting and I'll say the same thing I said last week in my hidden video I do
not mean to make anybody feel uncomfortable I want to do exactly what
my friends James Sean and Jill and many others have been doing and that's
inspiring others you have seen this happen live here in 2020 you've seen my
face thin you've seen everything else thin and grow new muscles and there's
literally thirty 1.4 pounds gone off of my body I have not weighed a hundred and
seventy some pounds since before I was in my 20s I mean seriously guys this is
I am in the best shape of my life right now at least my adult life this is fun
this is exciting and the physical results that I'm getting right now are
are far more rewarding than any other kind of sugary treat or snack or
anything I am so happy man what a crazy journey this has been
it's not over with I'm just I wanted to update you and let you know that I hit
my goal I'm there and I think I beat James this week more importantly there's
still room to lose more pounds I'm gonna be building muscle for the rest of 2020
and further I am NOT going to be changing anything drastically I may be
bringing in a few more saturated fats like the good fats and I may actually be
bringing potatoes back into my life like cooked potatoes baked potatoes just a
little more starchy stuff oh and spaghetti and pasta stuff but you know
some of the things that are definitely just out for me are our breads of any
kind and unless it's my cheat day you know I'm staying away from all the
bad foods that I usually used to eat every single day every single meal so
this is the new me and I know there's still a bunch of you out there watching
this video right now you've been saying since January first it's all gonna come
crashing to an end and you're gonna gain it all back Eric and you're gonna give
up and this and that's not gonna work and you're doing the wrong diet and the
wrong acts like I have had so many people telling me what's gonna happen
and I simply just said I don't care I'm gonna do it my way I'm gonna make it
happen and I'm gonna be there on the finish
line to share the good news so here I am I did it I lost 30 pounds in less than
90 days believe me guys if I can do it anybody out there can do it you just got
to make some changes that's all you got to do cattail why are you on the stove
okay Jax wanted to say hi even though he's not allowed on the table okay a
couple things as we move forward like I said this video is not replacing normal
programming so wherever it fits into my normal programming its thrown in still
watch my normal video if you're not into the weight loss stuff but for the rest
of this challenge and into March I'm not going to be updating a weekly Wednesday
stuff I may I may throw in some stuff at the end of the video or some quick
updates just to let you know then he changes or other great things going on
until then the end of March when the 90 days is up hopefully James and I can
compare and see who lost more and who won well I don't really care if I don't
win this challenge I already feel like a winner I mean as cliche as that sounds
I've seriously I have won I have won the ultimate prize already
this is so cool man anyways that is my update for now I want to show you one
thing that is here in my living room because I had done some research and I
couldn't find elliptical that I liked however I I did
get a new exercise machine in the RV do you know of any RV heirs who travel with
a rowing machine that's right folks this is in the fully extended state right now
I simply took off the back of bracket on the slider and it rests on the cup
holder up there this is the position I like because I can still watch TV from
this angle I've actually had this for a week I will admit I have had this
machine for a week I have used it every other day in that week so what three or
three or four different exercises I've used it I don't usually wear jeans but I
just wanted to show you a few things here so it slides back and forth may I
just get my rhythm use the legs first arms again and it fits in the RV great
also you know what the elliptical you really get an upper body with the arms
and you get the lower body with the legs with the rower I can take and maintain
over 120 beats per minute with my heart rate plus it's all core man it's that ab
workout every single time back and for even on the way back
my whole core stays hard right there and I can just feel I mean yeah there's
still a leg in an arm workout and especially what what are these called
back here I don't know what that muscle is back there but I can feel it back
there but my abs using this it feels great so on my cardio days I easily do
30 minutes of this sometimes I even just keep it here for
the night and I'll just watch show and I'll just work it and it's just a little
little extra a little little fun I'll update you later on this well let me
show the biggest question how are you going to store a row or Eric well he's
easy easy easy it holds up for storage that's right actually physically takes
up less floor space than that other elliptical Gazelle thing I have it also
rolls back to the office there are wheels so just tipping it back
we've got wheels I'll just wheel it back all right and
here's what it looks like in my office Jax man on my chair over there I will
also mention the slide is in right now so it really does not get in the way at
all the reason I put the bungee on here is
to keep this bar from rattling so it would be doing something like that but
I'm pulling it back like this keeps it from rattling while I'm driving also
I've got more room back here to store other stuff behind it
oh and plenty of room at my desk to still sit down and work in my desk I'm
not endorsing any product or specific type of machine or anything I'm just
letting you know I'm trying it out it's working really well and I will probably
update you on how that's working especially for my abs thanks so much
guys for your support through this I know I had a lot of doubters out there a
lot more haters but last week without the weight loss video for the first
Wednesday of 2020 I did not have a net loss in subscribers so my thoughts were
right I am somehow making some people out there feel really bad about
themselves like I said I do not mean to do that ever never my intention
but I got to be happy about my own success right and hopefully somebody out
there watching this is feeling inspired and has realized that if Herot can do it
because you guys have been with me for seven years now on youtube you have seen
the worst possible diet out of any Nomad and now you've seen all that change in
just two months and thirty-one point four pounds lost
Jax's frisky what's up with you mister hyper kitty are you petting your face
yeah he pets himself sometimes yeah okay we're proud of you for losing five
pounds this year two jacks hims a good boy yeah okay if you got it flaunt it
huh be well guys I'll see you in my next video from South Texas
you
