New Plan...
Saturday, February 9th 2008
Okay. Time to change things up. I've had a week with 4 of 7 days at maintenance level and only 1 day of cardio. No surprise, I basically maintained everything - maybe even gained a little. After the first 5 weeks, I modified my program to add more calories in because I appeared to be losing weight too quickly... and I have been moving forward at a snail's pace ever since.One other change I made in that period was moving from the calorie counter on the elliptical equipment to the one on my ...
More Self-Feeding Habits
Friday, February 8th 2008
I'm having a bit of a motivational problem, but it makes for an interesting experiment. Last week, I worked out 7 days in a row. This week I've worked out one. I have had a MUCH harder time sticking to the plan this week, and yesterday (day 5 of the week) I snapped and had junk food before going to bed - so much that I went up to my maintenance level on a low day. It will be interesting to see how my weight shakes out for the week.Walking Off The Cliff

Sleeping and Slipping
Thursday, February 7th 2008
What is going on with my sleep lately? The past few nights I have been waking up at 2:30am. It doesn't matter if I get up or if I lie in bed, but I stay awake until 4:30 or 5am then crash until 7:15 or 7:30am!When it happened on Tuesday night, it didn't matter much because Wed was a high calorie day, but I had to get to the gym this morning to make my minimum 3 days of cardio this week. I'm going to try to move things around so I can work out for an hour this evening (if I can).

I hope to start on Saturday morning... but 3 or 4 days ago, I started getting pain around the surgery site. I'll call my doctor in the next few days and ask his advice.200 Calories Over Yesterday
So how do I handle the 200 calorie overage yesterday? Today is a high calorie day... I really wanted to work out this morning, but decided against it. I can't ...

What an insane couple of days. I completely blew my time on Sunday so I had to crank on my school work non-stop Monday night. I got to bed around 1am and was absolutely fried.When 6:30am rolled around >POINK< open go the eyes. I was way too wiped out to work out... This is supposed to be a low calorie day, but I was willing to trade hunger for z-z-z's. I lie in bed for 45 minutes before giving up. Oh well... Time to get going, right?
