Today wasn’t as good as I had hoped for. We went out to run errands and ended up at Panera Bread for lunch. Which in itself is bad but combine it with the fact that they didn’t have their vegetable bean soup and it’s a disaster. I have been eating their Frontega Chicken Pannini and [...]
I as going to do a whole lot of cardio today but ended up with only 45 minutes. I was going to have a second 45 minute session in the evening but we ended up babysitting our friend’s daughter and she slept in our bedroom so the elliptical was off limits until 11:30PM when they [...]
Today’s photo session was OK. I have actually gained 0.7 lbs since the last photos but I think there is now more definition in my back. My bicep, calf and thighs have grown a quarter of an inch but my hips and chest has gone down half an inch. Either the fat is migrating around [...]
After yesterday’s splurge I have toned it down a good bit today and managed to eat a measly 1377 calories. Yet I still managed to pack close to 145 grams of protein in there. ow did I do it? Had a good breakfast with almonds and yogurt as the main source of protein, for lunch [...]
I have done a new VO2 measurement yesterday and my VO2 has jumped from 34 to 38. I have also measured my resting heart rate and I’m sitting at 54 bpm. That is pretty good considering that it was in the low 70s when I have started. Sicne I have dropped 20 beats off my [...]
Today went OK. For a cheat day that is. I have eaten candy for my morning snack but had a good breakfast and lunch. Then I made the decision that today was going to be about Christmas and I figured I would eat a nice meal with the family instead of making my grilled chicken [...]
I’m not even sure if I should put it here, but I guess I did do some strength training. Since I’m off from work I don’t have access to the machines that I usually use. It was supposed to be a chest day today so I did some push-ups. I have tried to do push-ups [...]
Today was another successful day. I ate pretty light during the day which allowed me to have a big dinner. I had turkey leg for lunch and had brisket and smoked turkey for dinner. I even had some baked potato with my brisket but obviously no sour cream, butter or cheese. The potato still tasted [...]
I have a hard time getting my heart rate up. I have upped resistance both at home and at work on the elliptical and I’m still much lower on my heart rate than before. I think my resting heart rate must have dropped since I have lost some weight, and my cardio exercises aren’t burning [...]
