Well, I weighed myself this morning and I came in at 211. So I have lost a pound this past week. I also got to the gym again today after church. Since I lifted weights yesterday, and am incredibly sore, I just did cardio today. 1/2 hour on the treadmill, 15 minutes on a bike and 15 minutes of swimming laps in the pool. So, I'm getting there and starting to get back into shape.
Eating hasn't been to great today. I had ham and potato casserole for breakfast - I know what you're thinking but it was good. I snacked on some sausage, cheese and grapes at church and had a sandwich for lunch. That's when I went to the gym. When I got back, around 3:00pm I ate my dinner (leftover steak and potato from Outback last night) so my body could use that food to feed the muscles and burn off the excess calories.
Well, at least it looks like I'm heading in the right direction finally. I'm getting back in shape and the weight is slowly starting to come off. Without a doubt, weekends are my roughest time with dieting. So tomorrow, I'll get to the gym again first thing in the morning and begin eating just healthy food again until next weekend. I think at that pace I should do pretty well.
Back in 2002 when I lost 30 lbs and dropped my weight to 180 lbs I worked out regularly and ate pretty much everything I wanted but I kept my portions small. And I still believe that for me, portion control is everything. So if I can stay away from junk food during the week and just keep it to a minimum on weekends I should do ok. Til next time.
