Lets Kick Start My Fitness

The last time I posted was May 29th.
The last time I was at the gym was mid-June.
My diet has been for shit.
Yet I lost weight and am down to 225, mostly due to portion control.

So now I have to take care of my body again.

I start by doing 100 Pushups in 6 Weeks through this site. My buddy Judd in Ithaca NY is also doing the program with me... right, Judd?

I will try and do at least weekly updates.

A New Week, A New Wagon

So last week was rough since I had to be out of the office and away from my "safe food." But I got through it (I forgot to weigh myself this week too).

As such, here is my lunch today...

Days 2 and 3

So yesterday I had a "day off." I knew this would be the case and I think it's going to work out as a good mid-week break. My normal Wednesday routine is the best hamburger in the city at a cart - Anna's. Good stuff. Instead it was pizza provided by work. I had two slices and a can of root beer. For breakfast I had a 3 point can of Trader Joe's Triple Espresso. I wrapped up my evening with 1/2 a serving of Boston Market's frozen Swedish Meatballs (in a white sauce) and probably a cup of Breyers Ice Cream and a can of Sprite. Not a yield day but I think it was a good moderate day.

Today was back to the grind :)
1 cup of fruit juice
1 cup of granola and whole milk
1 cup of baby carrots
5 pieces of melba toast with peanut butter
a crunchy peanut Clif bar
33 oz of water
a bunch of cup of tea (it was chilly)

Tonight: STEAK! Bison. Oh yeah.

yay! Day 2.

Okay, so let me say that tomorrow is burger day! I am psyched.

Having food at my desk has been a critical element to my eating succes this week (I know, it's only Tuesday).

breakfast
3/4 cup granola and whole milk
1 cup of fruit juice
green tea with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar

lunch
Oatmeal Raisin Clif bar
33 oz of water
5 rounds of melba toast with peanut butter
1/2 cup fo carrots

tonight... PIZZA. Don Ho here I come!

Just Taking it a Week at a Time

So it was a good Monday despite some setbacks (namely me not walking and not getting up in time to clean my backyard in time for the trash men).

So I think I need to cut back on some things to get my body in the shape I desire. today was step one (again) in that process.

Breakfast
3/4 cup of granola with whole milk
1/2 cup of fruit juice
cup of tea with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
1 banana

Lunch
A 12ox protien shake (I tried the chocolate one and it was unsatisfying, taste wise. In a few days I will try the vanilla one. I can honestly say I won't be picking up the chocolate again)
1 cup of baby carrots
33oz smart water
6 pieces of melba toast

Boy am I looking forward to dinner ;)

Day 2

MapMyRun.com tells me that my walk to work is 1.8 miles which I do in 35 minutes (it also tells me that I burned 164 cal).

Breakfast
large cup of green tea
8 oz Instant Breakfast in soy milk
8 oz Quick Oats oatmeal with brown sugar and raisens

Lunch
Chicken Cultet Parm on Linguine
1 liter of water

1.25 mile walk in 20 minutes

Back On Track

Okay, so here we go again. I had a really bloated weekend. I feel like I am going back to eating until I am stuffed. I hate feeling like that and I plan on stopping. So lets get back on track for taking count of what I eat.

I walked a 1 3/4 miles in the morning in about 35 minutes.

Breakfast
8 oz cup of cereal (130 cal, 3.5g fat, 1g fiber)
Hot green tea with a teaspoon of sugar
A bottle of Vitamin water (125 cal, 0g fat, 0g fiber)
1 liter of water

Lunch
Tuna with lettuce, tomato and onion on rye

I walked a 20 minute mile in the afternoon and another mile and three quarters in 35. So that's 4.5 miles in 1.5 hours today.

Dinner
1 breaded crab cake
1.5 cups of steak fries
small serving of chicken cutlet parm over linguine
12 oz Coke
20 oz Iced Tea
1 cup of salad with creamy italian dressing
