For weeks have come and gone. More than 16 pounds have also gone. I am on track to lose 100 pounds in 26 weeks. Life is good. I weighed myelf at the gym and was a pound heavier than this weekend. I suspect there is a difference of a pound between the two scales. This happened last week too. No big deal since a pound fluxuation could be 2 glasses of water, or any other natural fluxuation in weight.
I had a good mornig workout after weighing in. I did 30 minutes on the elliptial machine followed by 20 minutes on the Stair master. My ankles were slightly sore so I did not want to stress them this morning. I broke a good sweat and felt my heart pumping.
After showering it was breakfast time. I enjoyed 3 hard boiled egg whites with hot sauce, 6 chicken and apple mini links (this finishes the package), a golden delicios apple and 1 heaping table spoon of peanut butter. Total calories were 430. I was hungry at 9am for my morning break and ate 1 can of tuna with 1 table spoon of light mayo, a special K bar, and 1/2 serving of honey roasted almonds. This was 339 calories. Lunch was next at 11:30 and it was another can of tuna with mayo, a light yogurt, and a salad with some cous cous in it. Dressing was Balsamic vinegar. Lunch was under 400 calories. My afternoon snack was banana, tangerine, baby carrots, yogurt, and a special k crisp bar, 415 calories. I hit the gym after work and enjoyed an apple on the ride home. Dinner was salmon over a salad with asparagus, I also had 1 pretzel rod for some additional carbs whick totaled 625 calories. My total calories for the day were 2335. Not bad.
My afternoon workout was 15 minuteswalking on the treadmill at 5-10 % incline at 3.3 mph. Next was squats:
115lbs-5
135-5
155-5
185-5
135-6
Dumbbell bench press
45lbs-8
55-8
70-8
80-5
70-7
Bent over rows
+45-8
+60-8,8,8
+45-8
I was done. My legs feel better than the first time I did this routine. Let us see how I feel tomorrow. All should be good.
Ah, I almost forgot I need to add picture of me today. I do not see any difference in my pictures without my shirt on, but when it is only a 4 pound difference each week I do not think the difference will be obvious. From now on I am only going to do a front flex and rear flex shot each week and save doing a profie and front non-flexing picture for every 4 weeks. That should be easier on everyone’s eyes.
I almost think I can see the beginning of my abs showing an indentation center of my body and some definition on my biceps. I think at the end of 4 more weeks I will do some side by side before and after progress pictures like I did with my orange shirt on.
