Went to the gym last night... 15 minutes on the elliptical, and three weight room circuits. I worked myself pretty hard, and rewarded myself with an after workout soak in the hot tub at the Rec.
I've been thinking about setting a short term goal, something that I can work toward.
Run Through the Vines is an annual 5K race (they have a 10K, too) held at Messina Hof Wineries, a local vineyard in Bryan. I'm going to run the 5K this year on April 12. That gives me nine weeks to get ready. I am inviting anyone that wants to come and run this thing with me.

Getting back into my groove. Spent 20 minutes on elliptical tonight with a heart rate of around 152.

Okay, so I took a week off.... unfortunately not just from posting. I got a bit off track, and missed the gym for a solid week. Not good.
On the bright side... when I did get to the gym on Tuesday, I had lost an additional 2 pounds, so maybe my better eating habits paid off a little there. I have cut WAY back on sodas and am trying to eat better, particularly at lunch.
I'm trying now to find my groove. Unfortunately, I'm not sure evening workouts are going to fit anymore... it's too easy to be "too tired". Mornings are not my thing.

Eating: Had tamales for dinner. Not a terrible thing, but did make my workout a little uncomfortable.
Exercise: Had to get in a good workout, since Christy is leaving town on Friday night, and I won't be able to leave Craig... plus we have to finish the Pinewood Derby car. So I spent 15 minutes on the elliptical, and two circuits around the weight room... and added in two more exercises for back and abs.

I did okay eating on Wednesday, but didn't make it to the gym. My son's pinewood derby race is Saturday, and we went to a friend's house to work on the car. By the time we got home, it was too late.

Tuesday Weigh-In: 296 lbs. 2 more pounds lost... not bad, considering my horrible weekend.
Eating: Off to a good start, oatmeal and a banana for breakfast. Lunch was a sandwich and some fruit. Dinner was tacos. Light string cheese (what else?) for a snack.
Exercise: Pushed my self a bit harder tonight. 20 minutes on the elliptical and two weight room circuits.

Eating: Had a fairly good day, though I did not eat breakfast. Had a sandwich for lunch, and dinner was chicken and dressing (a recipe Christy found and it was very good) and some squash.
Exercise: Elliptical for 20 minutes with an average heart rate of 155. Rough, as I was still sore from the lifting the day before.
