Nutrition – 1723 Calories

( See all Nutrition entries here)

Today was the first day that I haev actually felt a bit of hunger since I have started my transformation. By dinner time I was pretty darn hungry. The fact that I ate a Philly roll with smoked salmon did not help much with the hunger so I also ate 2 oz of smoked turkey [...]

Cardio

I finally got 90 minutes of cardio in today. That hasn’t happened in almost a week with all the stuff that has been going on lately. I’m pretty glad I finally got around to doing that much cardio. The bad news is that for some reason my heart rate stayed pretty low at both times [...]

Strength Exercise

Today’s chest exercise went well. It was pretty easy and simple but I think I have noticed that my arms weren’t level when I did butterflies before. So today I have concentrated on fixing that. My bench press went OK, I have used a wider grip and I could feel my shoulders working harder. Bench [...]

Photo Update

Tonight’s photo update was pretty uneventful. I think it shows a bit of an improvement from the last one but probably not enough to make it worth talking about. What is different though is my face. Last time I was under the weather and did not want to take the pictures while today I was [...]

Today’s nutrition was great. The only weak part was the slim breakfast, I only had nonfat yogurt and fruit. I should have had a bit more to go with but it turned out fine. I have hit perfect amounts of protein, carbs and fats, I wish I could eat like this every day. For lunch [...]

Cardio

As good as the strength exercise felt that’s how bad the cardio session was. It was a real drag and I was in absolutely no mood to do any of it. But I suffered through the first 60 minutes of G.I. Joe and kept on doing the elliptical. Because of the Christmass errand at lunch [...]

I haven’t lifted since last Thursday as I was sick on Friday and didn’t go to work. Since this is a short week I really have to make every session count at work. I had to run Christmas errands at lunch so I ended up doing strength training after work. I felt pretty weak and [...]

Co-worker at gym said "if you lift weights you can eat whaver you want". Oh, how wrong was he! # RT this for chance to win $250 @WiseBread http://bit.ly/4t0sDu # I'm off to watch the season's final episode of Dexter and do my evening cardio. # Cardio is done and so is Dexter. Man, what [...]

Weekly Stats, Week 8

( See all Stats entries here)

It is hard to believe that I have been working on my transformation for 8 weeks. I have lost almost 29 lbs so far and based on my BF% change it was still all fat. It is a good thing because the more I lose the more I realize just how wimpy I have been [...]

Today was pretty uneventful except I didn’t eat morning or afternoon snacks. The morning snacks are totally skipped on weekends with me getting up late and the afternoon one was forgotten due to going to the new Museum Of Science with the kids in the afternoon. It was a fun outing, we got season passes [...]
