107 days until ...

Day 4

Oh no! Workout was aborted this morning! I was disappointed that I missed my workout to recover sleep, but it was probably for the best since I had work.

Otherwise, Today went well. Good day at work and good food. Had to push in some extra calories at the end of today again. Next trip to the grocery store is definitely going to be to get more foods to eat during the day and at work. Looking forward to a good morning jog tomorrow.

Also, I'm thinking this would be awesome to train for: http://toughmudder.com/

Rough morning. I received an after hours call at 2 a.m. from work, and worked to resolve an issue until 4:30. Alas, we aborted our morning workout which was supposed to be Legs and Back. We'll pick it back up tomorrow.

108 days away

Day 3

I had a great workout this morning! Felt very productive and I had a good sweat. Also, finally got enough calories in. Found some great snacks at the store that are low in fat.

We cleaned out the fridge today! The baconnaise is finally gone, along with many other salad dressings and other 'unhealthy' things...

I'm glad to see my weight on a slight decline. My calories from fight are floating around 33% today. Hopefully some smarter grocery shopping can help bring that down this weekend.

109 Days to Go

Day 2

Not so bad today. One of the biggest challenges is rationing out my lunch during work, to curb my hunger. I think packing a bigger lunch could solve this problem and another challenge: eating enough calories.

I barely hit 1500 calories by the end of today, by eating marshmallows and bread. Also, need to find some low-fat snacks for the end of the day when I need to get the extra energy.

Goodbye Baconnaise!!!

110 days left

Day 1 -

This is my new planner to make weight loss happen in time for my wedding on August 14th. I have a long way to go, and I am hoping to weigh at most 220 pounds in time for the big day. Ideally, I would like to weigh 200 in time for the wedding.

Wow! Good first day. The 5:30 in the morning workout time is going to take some adjustment, but will be good in the long run.

Analysis for the day, would be to consume less calories from fat. This will have to be achieved by finding alternatives for fatty foods. For example, baconnaise is purely fat cals, I may have to say goodbye to this once and for all. Cheeses are also a large contributor. Calories from fat contributed to ~41% of my calories today. Time to find new alternatives to improve that.
