The 3rd day of the new year. Lets hope that this year lots of good things! So this morning I was able to get up and head to the gym. I wanted to get there at 0500 but I got there at 0515. I also wanted to do sprints but the treadmills didn't have the option. So I decided to run 3 miles at an 8.0. Finished in 22:30. I know that is nothing great and I should have pushed myself a hell of a lot more. After the work day was done I went back to the gym for the Body Conditioning class. I really enjoy that class. Today was heavy weights and reps not cardio based like last week. A very good class.
Today I started the fun calorie counting. I know to some it is a chore, and even to me it is but I want to lose more weight and this is one of the ways I know how to do it along with increasing my time at the gym. The trick is to find a balance so your body burns the bad stuff and not the good stuff. I am keeping track of my measurements as well as how much I'm lifting. If is appears that it is going south, then I will adjust. I plan on doing this for two months. Do I plan on going two months without cheat days? No not at all. I will still have a cheat day here or there. Not that many. So what did I eat today? click here to see. Now keep in mind that the total calories you see are what I have consumed. That does not include the calories that I have burned working out or from my BMR. Hopefully this is enough nutrition for my body so it does not start eating itself. I know I am missing green in the five different colors today. I am going to pick up some broccoli for tomorrow as I need a snack between breakfast and lunch and that will be perfect. Lets see what this does to me!
You may or may not have noticed on the spreadsheet that I do not drink a lot. That is not because I do not drink a lot. It is because I drink a lot of water and the water has no calories. I average about 1.5 to 2 gallons a day. I also drink 2 or more cups of Celestial Seasonings Authentic Green Tea which again has no calories. As far as the spreadsheet, I am going to only have one spreadsheet with each day as a new sheet.
