Day 5

Measurements/Metrics

Weight - 278.2

Exercise - Sculpt 1-2

I increased the weight from 3 pounds to 5 pounds for all necessary exercises.  I was still able to perform 15 reps with good form, so next session I will increase the weight to 7.5 pounds.  This will make the dumbbells uneven as only one side will have a 2.5 pound weight on it.  If this doesn't feel right, I'll have to think of something else to try.

I still did 10 PP pushups in the first round, but switched to the stands in the second.  I dropped from 15 to 10 reps, but still within the 8-15 range.  The WTD actually got better this session.  I was able to do 7-3/4-2/5 (or about 57% at full intensity).  The dips are still giving me problems, and I only did 8 of those by the end of the workout.

Diet

Breakfast - Oatmeal

Lunch - ABJ Sandwich & Pear
Snack - 1/4 cup Spicy Mashed Sweet Potatoes (and they are finally gone!!)

Feelings

Things are going well and I'm starting to drop the weight again.  I am very excited to go see the doctor in a 4 months for my physical as I hope to make a lot of progress by then!!  The most important thing is getting healthy, so hopefully even if I'm not at my goal weight, my blood work will come back with excellent results!
