Week 20 Day 1

There is 6 weeks left and I am in the final stretch.  Looks like I may not make my goal in the remaining 6 weeks, but I will make it!      I did the math and I will need to lose 5.3 pounds a week for the next 6 weeks.  That is not likely.  Not impossible, just not likely.

I still don’t know where I am at on the scale from this big weekend that just passed.  I ate a lot of good food but the calories were way high.  I also only worked out once a day for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  That is double damage to my progress.     Today I got back to 2 workouts a day but the weather conspired against me.  It was raining at a steady pace this morning and I did not want to jog in it with threat of thunderstorms.  Unfortunately my gyms bith open at 5am on Mondays which meant I needed to workout at home.  I did my best and rode my airdyne stationary bike for 50 minutes.  It sure beat doing nothing.   My only other option would have been to get my work stuff together and hit the gym at 5 am and shower and leave to work from there.  I did not want to do that.

Anyway,  I did my time at work then decided on a garage weight lifting routine for the afternoon.  Here is what I did:

Squats
70-6
90-8
110-8
138-6

bar on chest squats
70-8

body weight deep squats
10

Over head presses starting with the bar on ground
90-5,5,5

over head press from chest
90-8,8

Curls with EZ-Bar and 50 lbs of weight
10,10,10,10

double handed tri’s behind my head with 35lb dumbbell
15,15,15

This was not a record lifting session but it got me sweating and my muscles working.  Tomorrow I will be jogging one way or another in the AM.

I did much better eating today.  I totalled 2,303 calories.  I ended up eating 2 smaller dinner meals tonight as I felt really hungry and needed to eat some before my lifting today.  This was the first time I felt hungry like that.  The eating before did not seem to hurt my efforts lifting but I would not do that on a cardio evening.   I am not sure if I will be going to weigh in tomorr
