2/22 Food

Decided to have a treat for breakfast that was 740 cals. But I am planning light lunch and dinner, so the day shouldn't be more than 1400 cals or so.

Renting a locker at the YMCA is like trying to get the nuclear codes from the President so you can win a scavenger hunt.

The scale is a weird place. Somehow even though I supposedly burn nearly 3000 calories simply existing, and ate 1300 appx. calories yesterday and worked out for 20 minutes on the trainer...after all that I gained 0.6 pounds. 288.6 this morning.

Strange brew I tells ya.

Gym 2/19

Weird, the scales there are weighing me as anywhere from 2.5 to 10 pounds lighter than my home scale. Oh well, best to use the home one, keep me honest.

Today was 20 minutes of hell on the elliptical. Probably going to just do cardio for a little while until I get back in the gym routine. I am so out of shape. I thought the creature from Alien was going to burst from my stomach.

So it begins

The diet has been going on for a while now. You can see the progress so far (and going forward) at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pqtB11EtZy5_-kmjJmPB8bg&hl=en

As I'm getting married on 5/31/08 it seemed a good time to begin trying to lose some weight. I started this at 305.3 Today I finally am supposed to start going to the gym along with dieting. This morning I was 286.0. Going forward I hope to keep the running log of what the scale says each morning and what I ate the day before and how I exercised.

So come along on this journey. Let's see what happens.
