Time to weigh-in for the new week. Did my weekend activities do anything possitive for me? YES!
That is down from 354! not bad for 7 days of effort. Here are my body pictures to keep the documenting going. I expect around the 3rd or 4th week there sound be some visual effect of my body changing.
I felt good exercising again this morning. Nothing like seeing some positive results to give you a buzz! I did 2 different eliptical machines and the stair master each for 20 minutes. 60 minutes of cardio is a great way for me to start the day.
My meals were all packed and I actually felt like I ate alot. I started with 1/2 a baked potatato, 2 turkey sausage patties, 1 hard boiled egg and an orage for 325 calories. Morning snack was lettuce salad with chicken breast, bulgar wheat, a banana and a special K fruit crisp bar. 554 calories. That might be a little high for a snack but I felt hungry and added the banana 10 minutes after the rest and the bar another 10-15 minutes later. Lunch was a bowl of shicken breast, 1 small sweet potato, steamed broccoli, a yoplait light yogurt and pringles pizza stix (100 calories) for a total of 571 calories. my afternoon snack was an apple and 1.5 hours latter I was walking to the gym to lift. Today me and my buddy tried something different. Rather than push heavier weights we did very light to light weights and did high repetitions for each set. We did bench presses, dip press machine, butterfly machine, triceps pull downs, and cable curls. We also did 4 sets of the weighted crunch machine. I finished with a 15 minute walk at incline on the treadmill. I hope to be light jogging in 2-3 more weeks.
I had a nature valley peanut butter granola bar on my drive home and for dinner I had between 8-10 ounces of steak over 5 two bowls of lettuce salad. There was some Feta cheese, walnuts, strawberries, red pepper, and portobello mushrooms added as well. For dressing I used straight Balsomic vinegar. I feel good and it did not feel like a heavy meal since there was no added starch or carbs.
I am ready for tomorrow!
