No exercise today

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I didn’t exercise today.  I had to do a presentation this morning.  They provided breakfast, two eggs, two sausages, two bacon slices.  Two glasses of fresh OJ.
Lunch, plain turkey sub.
Dinner mashed taters and flank steak.  Two servings of each.
And some darned hershey kisses.  And some chocolate peanut brittle.  I need to not eat when I’m [...]

The rest of Tuesday

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Went for a 1/2 hour walk with the wife and kid.  Had a chicken breast and some mashed taters for dinner.  And the rest of that damned delicious blizzard.
Overall, a better day.

Back on Track, but not really

First off, I lost track over the weekend. I did relatively okay.  Had McD’s one time.  Pizza for a couple of meals.  Did lots of yard work and was on my feet for a long period on Saturday.  My week end weigh in though – I lost 3.6 pounds.  Yee-haw!

Day 4 in which our hero avoids French Fries.

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

I ended up having some ice cream last night.  A smidge.  So sue me.  Also had a skim vanilla latte in the morning.  I’m hoping the skim kept the calories reasonable on that.  Here’s where I’m at today.

Today’s exercise. Got off to a good start today. Woke up at 5:30 and went for a 25 minute walk. I’m trying to condition myself just to get up and do something before I crank up the intensity. Some tips for executing an early morning walk:

Just get up and go. Treat [...]
