First lets start of will my level of being pissed this morning after seeing 180.0 on the scale. It is only a gain of .4 lbs, BUT it feels like there is a big difference between that and 179.6 or .8. I did not eat after dinner and I didn't do any lifting yesterday and I burned about 900 calories yesterday. Maybe I need to calculate out my eaten calories a little better.
*breakfast: 1/2 cup oats in water with 1 tablespoon agave: 180 cals
1 egg and 3 egg whites 76 cals......total 256
*meal one: 1/2 cup brown rice: 150 cals
2 boneless skinless chicken tenders: 120 cals
1/2 cup brocoli: 49 cals.........total 319
*snack: 2 cups watermelon 92
*Meal 2: 1/2 cup sweet potatoes: 90 cals
1 Swai filet 200 cals
1/2 cup broccoli: 49 cals...........total 339
*Snack: 3 tablespoons pb2: 68 cals
*Protein shake: Water plus one scoop 100% whey and 1/3 cup oats....240
*Dinner: varies usually around 400-500 calories
Grand Total: 1649-1746 calories
My total daily caloric out going is about 2700-2900 with my exercise. This means a deficit of 1000-1200 a day. I should be losing weight right?? Jessica keeps telling me that its because of the strength training, and she may very well be right. I did some calculations- In January my body fat was at 28.2%; today I am right around 13.3%. My goal is goal- 6-8%; It isn't exact since I did it based on measurements but it's fairly close. And I'll take it I still have a lot to go in my stomach and thigh area. My arms, chest and shoulders are really starting to take some shape.
A couple of my friends are doing the insanity workout and I am very curious about their results. Stuff like that just interests me. I wouldn't ever buy it myself (mostly cuz I am too cheap) but it doesn't mean I wouldn't try it if I could borrow it. Just to see how *insane* it actually is. I asked if I could borrow his month 1 DVDs when he is finished, so we will see.
Anyhow, the topic of this posts is related to an injury I am dealing with. My back went out this morning as I leaned down to get Adey's arm unstuck (from in between the crib slats- she was probably reaching over to Jocey's crib and got her arm stuck) and it suddenly my back let me down, I fell down a bit and my low back was weak and had a very dull and ache pain. I couldn't bend over to pick her up. I had to call Jessica in.
Immediately I was told I couldn't go to the gym. But I negotiated my way there with Jessica. I ran for 20 minutes at a nice slow 6.0 pace then did my shoulder, calves and abs then walked hills for 10 minutes (I ran out of time). I went to work and then hours later I had to call the wife to come get me...I was seriously hurting. I have been laying on the couch icing every 2 hours since then and it seems to feel better for a little bit and then hurts like hell and I need to lay down again. Tomorrow is Adey's Army walk and I am really hoping I'm not going to be hurting like this all day tomorrow.
Oy! Well, this time I might have to say my wife was right and I should have stayed away from the gym today...

Originally, this blog was my wife's, but I stole it since she stopped using it. So, now it will be a place for both of us to write and journal our experiences during this journey of getting healthy. For the both of us its more than just losing weight. Yes, we both want to be thin, but more importantly we want to be around for eachother and our children for a long, long time. We want t show our children that it just isn't okay to treat what He gave us so poorly...
We have stopped making excuses and are ready to face the challenge...are you?
