Solemente cien y uno dias... Feliz Cinco De Mayo

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Sadly, I skipped out on any Mexican food today. I'll save that for one of my weekend meals.

Today was a very low-calorie day. I had to fill in the end of the day with some extra chicken and a little Ice cream.

Tomorrow, we might be doing a double day. We'll definitely be doing our morning workout, but we might also be going climbing with our friends Chris and Sam tomorrow.

102 - May the Fourth be with You

Happy Star Wars Day! It's May 4th, and I'm trying to be on the "Light Side"?!? Bad joke, tried for the opposite of the "Dark Side".

We had a rough morning trying to work out today. Evidently our "sushi salad" from yesterday was not a formidable meal for muscle building. Both Sam and I struggled a lot to lift weights this morning. Next time, we'll be eating more Protein and Carb intensive dinners the night before weight lifting workouts.

I'm not losing weight as quickly yet this week, which is a good sign in my opinion. I was a little worried that I lost 7 pounds in the first week. Now things should be going a little more steady, since I will likely be gaining some muscle and reaching a level work out before we change it up again.

103 days to go and feeling lighter already

Woohoo! One week done, and I'm down a few pounds since last Monday. It was a good day today, but I'm tired from the weekend.

We tried to make homemade "sushi rolls" tonight, which was a lot of fun, but they kept falling apart, so we ended up having "sushi salad" instead.

Once again, it's Measurement Mondays, let's see how I came through from week 1 (I posted the results below my food count at the bottom)

105... 104...

Fun weekend, but also, very crazy. I got very little sleep last night due to a call I got from work at 1245 and did not get resolved until 545! Very crazy.

We had a lot of fun at the zoo on Saturday with Mike and Marin. We got to see a very angry tiger and a Red Panda! It was awesome.

I summarized Saturday and Sunday below. Next week I will turn Sundays into Statistic Sundays.

Day 5

Posting this late because we had a busy night yesterday. We went to Mexican with our friends Mike and Marin at Tres Hermanos, and then enjoyed playing various card games like cribbage, kings corners, go fish (Jon's version), Idiot, and crazy 8's. FUN TIMES!

Started the day with a light jog up the nearby hill. Very refreshing, and a little tiring. Hoping to extend the jog to a mile in the coming workouts. Might be going to the zoo or aquarium today for our rest day.

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.

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.
