One of the many pitfalls of getting a salad at a restaurant is the dressing, asking for dressing on the side is always the wisest move.
What happened at the gym:
Elliptical - Time: 6:00 Level: 6 Distance: .89 miles
Treadmill - Time: 17:40 Distance: 2.00 miles
Curls - 2 sets of 10 60lbs.
Inclined Sit-Ups - 2 sets of 10 (holding a 10lb weight on each rep)
Some other torso exercise I can't name......damn....I need to see the personal trainer.
I feel I did ok at the gym. There is plenty of room for improvement, I can do 3 sets of 10 for all of these exercises. It'll be important to run 2+ miles tomorrow, I need to get my conditioning back.

2 Fruit and Nut Granola Bars - 6 points
Chicken Caesar Salad (Good Egg) - 10 points
Guiltless Chicken Platter (Chili's) - 12 points
Total - 30 points (27)
I was over on points today, but that's ok. I ate out twice and made the right choice each time. As long as I do well tomorrow, I am all set.
What happened at the gym:
Nothing, I usually don't go on Fridays
Tomorrow is a big day at the gym, there's no excuse to not put in a full workout. It would go a long way towards a good showing on Sunday's weigh-in.

The eating has been a cinch for the first three days. I passed another test today when free bagels were offered at the office, I declined! The mind set is different right now, I feel that a few weeks ago the bagels would have looked very tempting. Today I barely acknowledged the bagel's existence.
What happened at the gym:
Bench Press - 135 lbs - 2 sets of 7, 3rd set of 5
Inclined Sit-Ups - 2 sets of 10
Elliptical - Time: 6:00 Level: 6 Distance: .94 miles
Treadmill - Time: 8:53 Distance: 1.00 miles (WEAK!!!)
The gym was quite busy, well actually the cardio machines were full forcing me to go weights first, then I went back to cardio, but pussed out and couldn't squeeze out another mile. I will be going to the gym tomorrow and waiting for the treadmill first, more than 1 mile is necessary.

I feel very focused thus far when it comes to food. You'll see some new items over the next few weeks as I am opting to shop at SuperTarget as opposed to my old standby of Costco. SuperTarget is going to give me more variety, which I think was becoming a problem in the latter half of '07.
What happened at the gym:
Elliptical - Time: 6:00 Level: 6 Distance: .90 miles
Treadmill - Time: 8:43 Distance: 1.00 miles (WEAK!!!)
I had a work function to attend this evening so the workout was cut short. It is going to take 5 to 6 trips a week if I am serious about reaching 172 pounds.
I feel I am off to a good start, and I look forward the first step which is Sunday's weigh in. If I put in solid workouts on Wed, Thur, and Sat, I can probably shed 2 pound this week....maybe more?

Monday (Day 1)
Like on "200 or Bust" I will be using Weight Watchers points to manage my food intake. I will log my points daily. At slightly over 200 pounds, I am allotted 27 points a day for food, this decreases to 25 points once I sink below 200 pounds. Here's is what I ate today:
2 Yoplait Peach Yogurts - 4 points (2 pts each)
Progresso Chicken Soup - 4 points
Green Apple - 2 points
9 vegetable rolls - 10 points
1 Weight Watcher's Chocolate Bar - 2 points
Total - 22 points (27 pts allowed)
As far as eating goes, Day 1 was textbook, I stayed under on points, which is going to be critical. I did a good job of maintaining my weight for the latter half of 2007, but every time I tried to go beyond 200 pounds and lose more weight, I could not control the food.
Something new I will try on this blog is report what exactly I did at the gym each evening. Spelling out what I am doing will bring more accountability to my workout regimen. Here's what happened this evening:
Elliptical - Time: 6:00 Level: 6 Distance: .91 miles
Treadmill - Time: 17:42 Distance: 2.00 miles
The key for the workout plan is to keep every run over 2 miles gradually building up my conditioning to run 5K on a daily basis (and hopefully building that to 10K in a few months). I will also build a better weight training regimen as well. There is great room for improvement on weights.
