Well, my plan to get back on track during November was derailed. I 've had a lot a stuff come up, and I am just now getting through it, but today is the day I start wroking out again. I am very disappointed in myself for letting myself slide though the summer and fall, and look and feel terrible. I remember feeling so good and proud when I was down to 207 lbs., and want to get back there and feel and look as good as I did. With my new work schedule and the aforementioned problems clearing up, I am bound and determined to do it.
Breakfast - 8:30 am
Peanut butter toast
Skim milk
Choc. chip granola bar (100 cals)
Banana
20 oz. Mtn. Dew (290 cals)
Lunch - 12:30pm
Ham sandwich
Skim milk
Choc. chip granola bar (100 cals)

Starting Over - 10/1/08 - Day 1
Total Weight - 226 lbs.
After letting myself go over the summer, I am bound and determined to get back on the right track and regain the lost pounds I achieved. I was down to 207, and felt great. I still need to get to my goal of 190-200 lbs.
So I decided to get started with doing straight cardio, running on the treadmill for an hour. After about 45 minutes, I slowed it down and pretty much walked the remaining time. But I felt great after doing it, and know that it is the first step on getting back into shape and achieving my goals. I will probably do cardio for the next couple of days while I work out a new weights routine and then starts weights on Monday.
Exercise - Treadmill Running
60 mins. - 3.67 mi.
