236 - same as last week - but I think I'm gaining muscle & losing fat - so net = zero this week, net = 4 total

But the jeans are much looser & I went down a belt hole notch

Woo Hoo! had to buy a new belt because I was out of holes!

Down 2.5 more pounds but I can really feel it. I have had a ton of energy to wake up way earlier.

Total down 6.5 lbs

I sorta fell off the wagon - I like to say I was pushed but its really my fault

I had pizza and wings friday night and didn't excercise cuz I had to help 2 sick little boys recover from the cold and ear infection.

I'm climbing back in the wagon today - I brought my own lunch to work!

I fell off too, I had steak, bread, beer, potatoes and whiskey on Saturday. It was my Grandfather in law's 70th B-day....but I have been good I guess

You can have Pizza, just eat in moderation. 2 pieces is all.

Ugh I went crazy at the gym last night.

2.25 miles running (well 2 miles running, .25 miles walking and panting)

5 miles biking

2.3 miles skiing

5 sets of 20 on the 100 lb crunch machine

Sundry lifting of weights focused on shoulders.

Total time in gym...just over 2 hours...

Then I went to Del Taco and ate a Chicken Soft Taco and a Chicken Burrito! Who needs to diet????

I DID reach muscle failure on the ski machine. I was shooting for 3 miles and came up way short.

Do you have a set regime, or just fly from the hip? (Do you do sets & keep track?)

I'm just curious....2 hours is alot of time in the gym!!!

Usually I'm in & out in an hour or so.

If I do fast food - I usually get a chicken Gordita from Taco Bell - fresco style (no sauce or cheese - just tomatoes, lettuce, onions, & cilantro) & ask for double chicken.

It's not bad.

I don't really have sets I keep track of. What I go for is muscle failure...then more weight later.

Start Weight: 261 beginning of challenge

Today: 255

Gym routine today: Cardio & Ab Obliques
Start: 5:41 AM
End: 6:12AM

Stationary Bike: 20 minutes @ heart rate > 150 beats / min

Roman Chair Ab Obliques - 2 sets of 25 each side

Floor Ab Oblique Crunch - 2 sets of 25 each side.

When doing ab work, create a vacuum with your stomach - suck in your belly button towards your spine - this creates stability in this region and concentrates the exercize. Also, try to do kegels at the same time - use your muscles like you are trying to stop your urine when peeing & clench your butt muscles - this gives great intensity to your ab work out too.

I have a great set of Abs - too bad they are hidden under so much dough

I think I'll focus on just walking...
