Halfway through week 2
So, the pain from working out on Monday and Tuesday is starting to subside. The work-out plan had Monday as a leg killer, Tuesday ripped the hell out of my upper body (the atrophy in my arms and chest is ridiculous), Wednesday was a rest day as was today (Thursday). Tomorrow = back at it.
For some reason, this week, I don't "feel" like I am losing any weight. I have no basis for this feeling. I think I have some strange anxiety/OCD combo thing kicking in. I want to weigh myself just to make sure I am actually losing weight...but know that this would be a mistake. Last week was thinking about food and kept wanting to get some...this week it is that damn scale. Man, I am screwed up. But the mind can play nasty tricks on you when there is a heightened awareness of something - like food intake.
I did notice that eDiets Express debited my bank account for next week's meals. It sucks to see the money leave the account but at the same time it also means I am just about done with another week!
Anyhow...here is what I've done since the last post:
TUESDAY
FOOD:
B - Special K and Skim Milk [eh, Special K is Special K]
L - Turkey & Swiss Cheese Wrap w/ Sliced Potatoes [This was good and I reordered it]
D - Blackened Chicken w/ Creole Salad [This was OK...A lot of crazy junk mixed in, which I picked around]
* Snack was an orange
GYM or crap, I have weak arms!:
1. Warm-up
2. Remedial
3. Aerobic (8A) - Again on the bike, 9 minutes of 30/30 sprint/jog intervals followed by a 10 minute ride
4. Strength - First 2 sets of 10 reps incline pull-ups (the guide called for 3 sets, but I HAVE WEAK ARMS, so I could only muster 2). Next, 3 sets of 12 reps include push-ups. Then, 3 sets of 8 reps dumbbell pull-overs.
5. Core (5C) - 20 Over head medicine ball "throws" (basically follow the motion of a soccer throw-in w/o releasing the ball)
WEDNESDAY
FOOD:
B - Breakfast Platter (scrambled eggs, sausage, hash brown) [Awesome! Already reordered]
L - Beef 7 Bean Burrito [OK]
D - Oven Roasted Snapper w/ Barley Pilaf and Veggies [This was pretty good, the pilaf was great]
* Snack = 2 (TWO) wheat crackers and a cheese stick
GYM:
Off
THURSDAY
FOOD:
B - Cinnamon French Toast w/ Turkey Sausage 7 Raspberry Syrup [Really good - especially the Turkey Sausage]
L - Beef Pot Roast w/ New Potatoes & Corn [Just as good as it was on Monday - see Mon's Dinner]
D - Asian Spiced Duck w/ Greens and Citrus Vinegarette [As of this posting, I have not eaten dinner...so don't know if this sucks or not]
* The snack was the smallest, tiniest 'bag' of Animal Crackers - maybe 4 crackers. I didn't even bother eating these and they are still in the fridge...along with an orange that came with the dinner...you know, there is a rouge apple in there as well. I seems that I am skipping a few snacks here and there...maybe I will lose weight...?

Captain Morgan is angry with you for abandoning him. He is lonely and cries often. He also thought you might be interested in this article about women.

My sources saw Jason taking down a cheesesteak and chili cheese fries at lunch today....
Who's kiddin' who here, J? This OCD/anxiety thing is nothing new....it's just displaced.
