Day 93 – Dinner

September 30, 2008

Once I got out of the gym, I was famished… my stomach was rumbling and I just wanted something to eat.  I wanted to get some carbs in me since I’d just done a pretty intense workout.  I also wanted some pretty good protien to help with muscle recovery.  I decided to go for some [...]

Day 93 – The Gym

September 30, 2008

Tonight, I really started pushing my exercise regiment… I really wanted to kick in and push my fitness to the next level.  I recently came across the following article over on the Gold’s Gym website.  http://www.goldsgym.com/healthy/article.php?id=145.   It says for beginnings, I should do about 4-5 minutes of light cardio to warm up, followed by 12-15 [...]

Day 93 – Lunch

September 30, 2008

Today, my team wanted to get out of the office for a bit and get something that we don’t usually have a chance to have.  Lots of ideas went back and forth, but in the end, we finally decided to have Red Lobster for lunch.  I always enjoy having Red Lobster, so I was pretty [...]

Day 93 – Breakfast

September 30, 2008

As I mentioned yesterday, I was looking forward to getting a Breakfast Souffle from St. Louis Bread Company.  This morning, I made sure to get up early enough to be able to stop in on the way to work and pick up the breakfast I’d been wanting.   I decided on the Four Cheese Souffle as [...]

Day 92 – Dinner

September 29, 2008

Once I got home from the gym tonight, I grabbed a chicken breast from the freezer as well as a bag of the Green Giant Asian Style Medley.  I’d been somewhat disappointed in the Steamfresh brand, so I thought this might be a welcomed changed.  This version was made of snow peas, broccoli, red peppers, [...]

Day 92 – Lunch

September 29, 2008

During most of the TV I watched, I kept seeing commercials for the new Pita Snacks that Jack in the Box has to offer.  I’d become intrigued with them and found at least two were very reasonable as far as calories were concerned.  The one thing I was worried about was getting something the size [...]

Day 92 – Breakfast

September 29, 2008

This morning, I actually woke up wanting to get a slightlier heavy breakfast to kickstart the day.  The one thing I was looking to get was a Four Cheese Souffle from Bread Company.  It’s about 480 calories, but sounded like a pretty tasty way to start the day that would be both rich in protien [...]

Week 14 – Weigh In

September 29, 2008

I did it… I don’t know how, but I did it!!  This morning, I came in at 290.0! That’s almost a 2.5 lb drop from last week’s gain, though still only 1.8 lb down overall from my last low.  Still, that’s not bad… bringing my total loss since day one up to 33lbs! Last week, [...]

Day 91 – Dinner

September 28, 2008

For dinner, I decided to grill up a chicken breast and nuke up some of the Asian Medley that I had a few nights back.  The chicken came out fabulous, and I’m really liking the Weber “Kickin’ Chicken” seasoning, though I did add some mesquite to it as well.  Once again, I enjoyed the Asian [...]

Day 91 – Lunch

September 28, 2008

I started getting hungry again around 2 or so.  I decided it was time to have a real meal.  I wanted some burgers, so I decided to make up another batch of my favorite turkey burgers.  Overall, they were nice and filling.. which I really needed.  This was a little too early to be considered [...]
