WEDNESDAY-WILL TONY MAKE 186.5?

Gym: Upper body. Sally was out sick today (obtw, she's 5 months pregnant with her first) and I worked out with Jeff today. We focused on shoulders, back, bi&tri.

Cardio: Jeff had me do a 5 minute interval on the treadmill. He wanted me to go one minute easy, the second minute at a good comfortable pace, the third minute at an uncomfortable pace, then minutes 4 and 5 at the 1st and 2nd minute paces.

I chose 4/5/6 mph. As it turns out I could have probably done 5/6/7. At the completion of the 3rd minute, my HR was only 141 BPM. It was 127 after the 5th minute.

Average HR:
Time in Zone (105-135):
Finishing HR:
Recovery Time (Time for HR to go below 100):

Breakfast: Pre-workout: coffee
Post-Workout: 12 oz protein shake and coffee

Morning snack: protein bar

Lunch: turkey sandwich, pudding

Afternoon snack: protein bar

Dinner: http://www.kellystavern.com/locations_strawbridge.php The WIFE is out of town on business so the DAUGHTER and I are on our own. I didn't feel like cooking so we went to Kelly's. I was good. No BEER or wine at dinner. I had the Southwestern Chicken (two chicken breasts/cajun style with some corn medley on top. My side was black beans and rice. Unsweetened iced tea.

Evening snack:

Comments: 186.5 # on the nose!!!!!!!!! That's 10 1/2 pounds this year.

Okay, let's not get cocky. I got away with it this time. I really need to work on the impulse eating. That and my sweet tooth can really be trouble when they get out of hand. However, I am really improving. For example, THE WIFE has begun leaving chocolate kisses/truffles in a bowl in the living room. I haven't decided if she is trying to sabotage my diet or what. Anyway, I walk by that bowl 20 times a day and I bet on at least half of them I look at it and actually consider taking a piece. 6 months ago the bowl and the bag would be gone!!!! I just have to be nice to myself, not so tough on myself, PLUS, I know if I blow it, I am going to be so embarrassed.
