4 Pounds!

I weighed myself today, and I lost 4 pounds in the last week! My weight is now 352. I hope to finally be below 350 next week. Much of the cardio equipment at the gym uses a max weight of 350 (when you enter your weight into the computer). It will be nice when I can enter a lower weight than 350 over and over again, so 350 has become a significant milestone for me!

Home

After a couple days of business trip, I am home again. I did alright on the road, had 1 more piece of pizza at our recruiting event than I had intended, but otherwise acceptable.

Sorry

No updates for a week, sorry. I got really busy at work and this dropped off the priority list. I'll be better, now.

The last week was about normal, the most unusual things were that I ate only 600 calories or so on Tuesday and yesterday the recumbent bikes were all taken so I only did Elliptical, much the same as today.

Workout 2/1/2008

I worked out today, running 20 minutes late because I had to go pay my rent. I didn't get out of bed as quick as I had intended because I couldn't remember why I needed to get up earlier. Today was upper body day:

• Warmup on recumbent bike, 7 minutes
• Bench Presses, Smith machine, 70/70/70 (plus 44.5 for the bar)
• Barbell Curls, 60/60/60 (using the "fixed-weight" barbells)
• Dumbbell Front Raises, 17.5/17.5/17.5 (alternating arms, my right delt was really tight and painful today, hard to get through these)
• Dumbbell Lateral Raises, 15/15/15 (similar troubles with the right delt)
• Seated Rear lateral Dumbbell Raises, 10/10/10
• Dumbbell Shoulder Press, 25/25/25
• Dumbbell Shrugs, 60/60/60 (60 in each hand, 120 total)

• Cable Seated Row, 105/105/105
• Lat Pulldowns, 100/100/100
• Elliptical Cross Trainer, 10 minutes
• Recumbent Bike, 13 minutes

4 Pounds!

I weighed myself this morning and had lost 4 pounds since last Friday. This is a total of 105 pounds in 4 months and 2 weeks.

Just FYI, 4 pounds is the lower limit on exclamation mark territory. At 3 pounds it only gets a period.
