The weight is starting to come back in line. I'm thinking about changing my diet a little again. I'm thinking of having a bigger lunch and a smaller dinner. I have read that doing that is a good idea as you don't really need a big dinner if all you are going to do is sit around and watch tv or play with the Bean. We'll see out it goes.

Man o Man the Crosstrainer is a killer. I was trying to do 30 minutes but after twenty I wasn't sure if I could so I stopped. my legs were(and are) all shaky feeling. I'm gonna have to use that one more often. So I guess I have two fitness goals now. Running a whole mile and doing thirty minutes on the crosstrainer without dying ;)

Not sure what to think about the weight thing and when to weigh in. I was 242 this morning. Here's my current theory. I have been stepping up the weights on the machines that I use in the morning. Mostly this is because I think I started light on some of them. I did that intentionally so that my body could get used to working out. But I think that the last rep on each machine should be more difficult than it currently is. I think I have the right weight on the curl machine and the overhead press. Both of those are killers right now.(BTW 40lbs curls and 70lbs press, I'm such a girly man!) So I have been continuing to increase the weight on the other machines about every other day to get to the point where I'm accomplishing something with the weights. I believe that this is leading to an increase in lean body mass. And since we all know the lean body mass weighs more than fatty body mass that could explain why my weight is not really dropping that fast. I do not think that I am eating that bad. However I think I am going to start watching how much I dish up for dinner and see if that changes anything.

And yes there is no entry for yesterday yet I will do that next and post date it so that it shows up right cause I'm a l337 |=|4XX0|2 like that. This post is just here to let you know that I did that and all.

I over slept this(yesterday ;)) morning and did not go to the gym. However I did pass my civil service test and as such am on my way to being promoted to Computer Programmer III! w00t.

Wow I spent almost an hour on the treadmill today. I wound up running just over a mile. Granted it wasn't all at once, but I'm happy with it. Well, maybe I'm just pleased with the fact that I was able to run that much, I don't know that running is really something that I will ever get "happy" about.

I take the civil service test for Computer Programmer III today. Wish me luck!

I think I may start weighing myself just once a week. I think that might show more movement over time than doing it everyday. In other news it seems that Walker is back on! Joy! Just when I was starting to warm up to coach too, go figure.

Gym was pretty crowded this morning and all of th elipticals(even the bad ones) were taken. So I did the bike. It was good to see that there wasn't much change on the weight. Especially after the way I ate this weekend! I've decided that rather than trying to think up a title each day I will just use the name of the song that is playing when I compose my entry.

Yesterday, after seeing the 239 posting my wife said I'd prolly be 242 again today after going for my regular thursday lunch of sushi and noodles. Man! I think I might ask her to say I'll be 230 on Monday! Didn't really feel like doing much today so I just did the bike. Not sure what it is I'm just a little tired today. On the up side two of my 4 meetings today got cancelled so thats good!

Well this morning I was 239 lbs. By my calculations that makes it officially 15 pounds gone! w00t!

Man running is hard. I can do 30 minutes on the Eliptical and get my heart rate up to an average of 135 and not feel like I'm going to die. This morning I decided to do some running. One "lap" on the treadmill is a quarter mile. I walked one then ran one then walked one. The laps that I ran were brutal. I set the pace for those at 5.5(mph) It was the slowest I could set it where I was actually jogging. By the end of the second quarter mile I was definitely ready to quit. Phew, good thing that is over till next wednesday.

Man it was -2 this morning when I left for the gym. That's pretty cold. When I opened the door to leave the bean said "NOOO" really loud. I couldn't have agreed more.
