Wow 0400 is early when you have been up with a new born.
I had all kinds of ideas to write about today but couldn't log on so I guess the blog world will have to miss out on whatever unintelligent thing I thought was funny at 0600 this morning.
Today's work out.
20 min on the elliptical. A step harder and faster than yesterday.
The weights cycle as normal. Heavier on the weights and a little faster to keep the heart rate up.
Added 100 sit ups to it as well. New life in the work out routine again as I am close to breaking through a threshold that is acting as a bit of a mental block.

Week 5-Day 1
Took some time off to welcome my second daughter home. While that was filled with stress and emotion things have settled in and I am not prepared to get back to normal.
Worked out this morning just a light 35 min jaunt on the elliptical. 60 sit ups. Just light to see what I could do to get back into it.
Breakfast
Omlett with has browns....mushrooms and tomatoes
Lunch
A fiber one granola bar and lime aid (330 tot. Cal) Still full from lunch
Will get back to regular postings now.

Week 4--Day 3
Got convinced to break the all liquid diet. Went to Cafe Rio and had a chikcen taco. I had a free meal coming to me there and so it made the decision a no brainer. Oh well. Checked the scale this morning and it hasn't moved an inch. I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Lose 6 pounds week 1 and then a pound or so since? The heck is going on?
This morning's workout was good. The usual 25 min on the elliptical and weights. Doubled up on the weights in terms of reps though.

No rice or beans
Dinner

Week 4-Day 2
Yesterday was a good day. Today is shaping up better. Now that I have said that it will all go to hell but right now I feel good.
Yesterday's meals
Breakfast
16 0z red bull 16 oz of citrus Vitamin water stuff is nasty.
Lunch 24 oz Jamba the 330 cal type
Dinner 24 oz Jamba again the 330 cal type. 4 pieces of toast with peanut butter. Ensuring there is some fat and protein in the diet. A glass of 1% milk also
Dessert Table spoon of cookie dough.
It is getting easier and easier to resist certain foods. I believe that allowing myself the "special treats" on the weekend is helping that although might not be helping me acquire the figure I so desire.
Today's workout
35 min of elliptical. Increased resistance every 5 min. Was awesome!!! Brought my perfect push up to the gym. Did 45 push ups on that and 60 sit ups.
I don't think staying on an ENTIRELY liquid diet is realistic and thus I had planned on the peanut butter toast. It is pretty harmless in nature. I may want to drop it to 2 pieces from four though.

Week 4--Day 1
Enfused with energy this morning. Don't know why. Didn't sleep well and certainly 0400 came way quicker than I would have liked.
Decent weekend. Broke down Saturday and ate a doughnut. Really wanted one. Lunch was non existent and had pizza with the family for dinner. Not a good day.
Sunday was "one-meal day" for us in the faith. Dinner was simple but good. Baked potato little bit of butter. Lots and lots of brocolli. Filled my gut with ribbon candy which is heavy on the sugar. DANG IT!!!! Had about 3/4 cup of mint chocolate chip ice cream and a small piece of BOLT themed birthday cake. All in all a bad weekend but this week will be stellar. Liquid only diet for at least three days. Thursday brings great potential in life as we are expecting our second daughter that day. Let's hope the diet survives my week off from work.
Today's work out
20 minutes of 9.5 incline on the treadmill
100% 3x10 on weights
80 situps.....broccoli kicked in had to stop before I pooped my pants.
