Today’s Totals - Nov 2nd, 2008

Well, I just ran out of time today.  I think I just wasted too much of it this weekend.  By the time I got to the point where I should have done some kind of exercise I realized that I still had Math homework to do.  I did put on my shoes though and played with the chin-up bar for a while.  I think I’m comfortable enough with it that negative chins will go into my strength training workouts this week.

Oh, and I made bread this afternoon.  Not  my most successful attempt at higher protein bread.  I tried revamping the cracked wheat oat bread, but it really didn’t rise very well.  I’ll have to take another look at the honey oatmeal bread to see what changes I can make next time.  Oh well, at least it’s higher in protein, and it should probably toast well.

So the plan for this week, workout-wise:

Mon (rest day)
Tues (cardio, hopefully outside) in the afternoon, before my test
Wed (lifting) in the morning, before my evening test
Thurs (cardio) in the mrning, before school
Fri (rest day)
Sat (rest day)
Sun (lifting) - back to Sun/Tues/Thurs lifting

Food for the day:

Total: 2001 (28% fat, 33% carbs, 35% protein)

Breakfast: egg/egg white omelet with cheese, chocolate pecan bread, jam, clementines (509)
AM Snack: blueberry bran snack cake (103)
Lunch: whole wheat tortilla, bbq pork, cheese, potato chips, apple (540)
PM Snack: cracked wheat oatmeal bread, butter (123)
Dinner: sirloin steak, corn, butter, salad w/dressing (609)
Late Snack: fruit salad (127)

Weekly Weigh-in - Nov 2nd, 2008

The Sunday to Sunday loss this week is 1.6lbs. This is kind of what I expected after last week’s higher than expected loss. The body always seems to even itself out. The 9-week loss is 18.6lbs (2.02/week) which is usually the ‘number’ I look at to see how things are going overall. The other little compulsive number I look at is how many days I’ve been ‘on plan’ primarily with food. I still consider the maintenance week ‘on plan’ since I accomplished what I wanted to. So, since I started keeping track this is day 303 on plan with food.
