Workout 5/30/2008

I worked out this morning, running an hour late because I discovered fraudulent charges on my account, so I am working that out with the bank:

6 Pounds!

I weighed myself this morning, 300 Pounds! Next week I should have a weight that starts with a 2 for the first time in a decade.

Yesterday was free day. I'll be trying to tone these down.

Workout 5/3/2008

I worked out with a trainer yesterday. He wants me to try a few adjustments to my program for a few weeks and see if they work for me. Jim's pretty experienced and his clients look pretty fit, so I'll be giving it a shot.

He wants me to up my daily calories, eat before I work out, and eliminate my cheat day. I don't think psychologically I can skip the cheat day, but I'll try to dial it down a bit. In addition, I'll be doing this workout Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and a lighter workout Tuesday and Thursday (he said cardio only, but I am going to need to work a few things in just psychologically).

These exercises are lower weights, more sets, and more reps per set, 15-18 reps, focusing on heart rate and endurance training, with 30 seconds of rest between sets.
It was very intense for the latter part, I'll need to figure out what the first few weights are supposed to be for my level of fitness. I really worked up a big sweat with this routine.

2 Pounds

The official weigh-in: 317 pounds. That's two pounds down from last Friday. But as I mentioned earlier in the week, I am back to drinking large amounts (more than a gallon) of water every day, which is undoubtedly going to mess with my number a bit.
