High Expectations

Weigh In: 291.5
Calories Counted: 1945

Ok, so a few things:

First off, I'm calling on the FAT Coalition and friends to keep me honest about my calorie counting. I haven't been keeping track, and although I've been 'faithful' to my diet - we all know that when you're NOT counting, it's probably higher than it should be. So, if I don't post my calories counted for the day, call me on it. Point it out - this is something that I've been lackadaisical about, and I need to be held accountable. So, keep me on this.

And somewhat related, I had a pretty good day today. I was in the gym at 6am, and Gary and I had one hell of an upper body workout. I pushed the limits on the bench, and also jumped up my curls - which I haven't used free weights for in way too long. When I first started lifting, my bench was like 115 or something along that line. I put 155 on the bar and did my first set. Somewhat easy, I added more to the next set, and did a full set of 170 for my second set. I wanted to push myself, so I set the bar at 185 and did a full set. Needless to say, my arms and chest were feeling it today.

Side note: Funny how the 'machines' are so different than freeweights. An example? I've been pushing the stack on the chest press machine (200 pounds) for a full 3 sets of 12 - all last week. The 'real' thing does MUCH more for me.

Ok, so back to my day.

So after the gym, I went to school, and then went to work. I then hit the golf driving range and hit a full bucket of balls, and then spent about 45 minutes working on my putting. My drives were looking pretty good.. probably about half of them went dead center, about 200 yards out. We're not going to talk about the other half right now ;)

After that, I went home and we BBQ'ed shrimp skewers, redskin potatoes and salad. Awesome, awesome meal. Then, we went on about a 2 mile (approx) bike ride.

So, I ate right on track - and I did three healthy activities today. I know this shouldn't be the way it is, but I'm EXPECTING a low weigh in. If I don't see it, I'll be pretty frustrated.

I know, it's unreasonable to expect it, but I do. Sometimes you throw logic out the window.

Proof's in the sugar free pudding. I'll report back in tomorrow.
