Day 22

Measurements/Metrics

Weight - 278.0 pounds

Exercise - Sculpt 3-4

I finally moved back into 3-4.  What a wake-up call!  I did the floor pushups for the first set, not the perfect pushups.  The declines still were at 15, so I'm happy with that!  Then came 20 pound weights on everything.  I'm still in the good range of 8-15 reps.  What I'll probably do to prevent over-working things is do Max Mondays (as many reps 8-15 as I can do), Weaker Wednesdays (only do 8 reps of everything), and Fab(?) Fridays (a little bit higher, max of 12 reps).  This way I bang out a full load on Mondays, rest for the next 3 days by reducing down to 8 reps, and then bring it up a notch to 12.  Then I can rest over the weekend, and come back on Monday to hit it again.  I'll do this for the next couple of weeks as I move into 3-4.

Diet

Breakfast - Oatmeal
Snack - 1/2 Pear
Lunch - ABJ Sandwich & Pear
Snack - 1/2 Pear
Dinner - Pita Pizza

I'm going to do the diet plan seriously.  I've been taking too many breaks during the week.  Time to get back on track!  I know this is about 1450 Calories/day, and over the next 11 weeks, I'm going to bring it up to 1600 Calories/day.  When I start the Master Series, I'm going to move from 1600 Cal/day to 1800 Cal/day, which will be where I start P90X.  I'll write another post to hammer down exactly how I plan on doing this!

Feelings

I realize from seeing my weight graph fluctuate so much, that my weekends are a bit too loose in terms of the diet.  I need to buckle down and get that under control.  Whenever I put anything into my mouth, I'm going to think about two things - 1.) Where is this food on Michi's ladder? and 2.) Is this food fueling my body or just crappy calories?  THINK ABOUT THE GOAL!!
