April 8, 2015

Weight: 228
32.8% scale

BF%: Estimated 32.06% using following measurements
Waist narrowest - 40"
Waist @ Naval - 42.5"
Hip @ widest = 43"
Thigh @ widest - 27"
Biceps @ Widest - 15.5"

Notes:
I don't remember what time of day I did this last time, but even in the middle of the day (Before lunch), I'm surprised my weight is down at 228.  I had a bad last couple of weeks xD.  For my own curiosity, I'll check my weight in the morning again, but I won't do it until two mondays from now, and start taking progress pics again.

On top of my diet, we are starting the gym again!  Today, we went and got a membership at the local Anytime Fitness.  We'll begin going tomorrow morning.  This means that 3 days a week, we're (Kayla and I) are getting up super early.  I'll be doing this every morning to get running in as well.

Diet was going to be standard today, then we purchased potstickers.  I went over calories a bit, but I have a new plan.  Aim for 2000, but allow myself to go up to only 2500.  My aim will increase as I record calories taken in, so that I can allow myself more calories if I eat.  This hsould be more incentive to work out, as I can have larger meals/snacks.  Unless I workout more than 500 calories, I cannot go above 2500.

That said, Diet
Breakfast:
740 SEC Bagel
Lunch:
190 Protein Bar
80 Cheese stick
550 Sandwich
20 8xBaby Carrots
Dinner:
240 Potstickers
410 Burrito

Total:
2230, so I'm within my range.  Yay!

Today, I'm optimistic on getting back on track.  I'm going ot keep the liquid calories out, and stick to my diet.  Here's where I'm planning for the day

Breakfast:
700 - McD's SEC Bagel
Lunch:
520 - Sandwich
190 - Granola Bar
80 - Cheese stick
Dinner:
420 - Soup

Total 1910
If I stick with this, I should be great on calories.  I just need to keep this up, and start working out again.

I'm a bit worried about this day than I was about yesterday.  I had pizza for lunch, but that's not as bad as I expected.  However, I had more liquid calories than I should have.  Terrible.  

Breakfast:
790 - SEC bagel
250 - OJ
Lunch:
400 - 2 x Pizza slice
190 - Granola bar
80 - Cheese Stick
60 - Ranch
Dinner:
~500 - Company dinner (Chicken, greenbeans, salad, and sweet potato mashed potatoes)
~200 - Rum and Coke from company dinner
150 - Glass of milk

Total: 2620

Holy cow.  Liquid calories add up quickly!  This is a great example on how they didn't do much for me other than take up my budget.  My main thoughts: Just keep cutting these out entirely in the future.

Just an overview of diet.  I haven't been exercising this week because of the cold... Bad excuse, I know.  But here we go.

Breakfast:
790 - Steak, Egg, cheese bagel
Lunch -
400 - 2xpizza slices
190 - Granola bar
80 - Cheese stick
Dinner
400 - 2xpizza slice
280 - 2x Garlic Bread
~100 - Ranch

Total: 2240

For deviating and having pizza for lunch and dinner, I didn't do too bad.  The pizza is comparable to the sandwich, however, it doesn't sustain me for near as long.

Overall, I'm not as disappointed with today as I thought I would be.

Weight: 231.6 BF%: ???

Initial notes: With sticking to my diet, and avoiding the alcohols, I've finally managed to hit a minimum that I haven't seen since I moved down to Iowa.  It's very inspiring.  On the note of the alcohols, this is day 4 without having any.  I've done that before, but I don't desire it near as strongly as I usually did.  The few times that my mind revisits those desires, it is easily squelched by my motivations to get into shape.

On the note of motivations, I gave myself another one.  I've committed myself to doing the Tough Mudder on July 18th(?) this year.  That means I have 5 and a half months to get into a shape that I can handle keeping up with the group.  It's my desire to be able to push them to some limits, but they are lightyears ahead of me.  My goal is to not fall behind too much that I'm holding them back too much.  Fortunately for myself, I've already begun the progress for at least the running portion: I've been out running the past 4 out of 5 days.  I'm going to do the Couch to 5k plan, except running 5 times instead of 3.

The reason I didn't run yesterday was because I made the excuse that I needed to recover, and that I hadn't slept well.  Which was true.  But that would have only been bad had I not ran today.  Which I did.  In the cold.  Also, day 2 it snowed... and I still went outside.  I think that's a good indicator to me that I can keep up with this.  Each day seemed a bit easier than the last, so I pushed myself harder toward the end.  I just need to get out and do it tomorrow, and I'll have a great start.  That'll be 1 week down, 8 more to go.

Diet:
The Usge
790 Steak Bagel
790 Sandwich, Protein Bar, CHEESSSSEEEEE!
420 Soup

TOTALLLLLLLLL.... 2000!

Keeping this crap up isn't too hard.  Work is also turning out great.  I'm lightyears ahead of where I expected to be by now.  I've learned a whole new language... Things are looking pretty sweet.  This week just sucks because, in order to get up to MN by Friday, I'm working 10 hours a day M/T/W, so I have very little time awake while at home.  I'm worried it's bothering Kayla, but it doesn't seem like it.  I've done something with her each night, for at least an hour.
