Food & Exercise -- 9/30/2003 (yesterday)

Well, I was down a pound yesterday :-). After I got weighed at the
gym, though, we went out for a big splurge meal with Tom at Ruth's
Chris Steakhouse, so I might have gained it back :-). I haven't had a
real cheat meal in a long time, so don't feel bad about it. Lots of
fat, though! I find wine gets to me much more than it used to since
I've lost weight. 1/2 bottle gets me rather drunk :-). (I was not
driving, I should point out.)

The thing I did wrong yesterday was not to eat anything before going
to the gym -- I guess because I was saving my appetite for dinner. I
ended up getting really light-headed after I got done exercising.

Anyway, here's the data:

Food:

9:00 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices
melted f/f cheese

12:00 (home): sandwich with 1 slice whole wheat bread, 66g leftover
London Broil and a little f/f mayo; 70g leftover asparagus (Leftovers
brought home from country club Sunday night.)

6:30 (steakhouse): small filet mignon w/ blue cheese crust; lobster
tail; melted butter; shoestring potatoes (not a lot); large serving
cheesecake; wine

Totals: 2238 calories (300 from wine), 92g fat (37%), 145g carbs
(26%), 133g protein (24%)

3:00 -- Exercise:

Treadmill (just goofing around, because I was early and Tom was tied
up): 15 minutes, increasing speed each minute from an easy walk to a
slight-above-moderate run

Bench: 2x10x45; 1x10x65; 1x5x65; 2x10x85; 1x7x95

Attempted DB shoulder presses, but it hurt my shoulder. I ended up
doing about 20 reps with 5 lb. DBs, just working range of motion.

Lying triceps extensions (skull crushers) w/ 35 lb. EZ Curl bar: 3x10

Triceps pressdowns: 2x7x62.5 lbs.

Six sprints -- length of basketball court

Elliptical trainer: 20 minutes, level 10 (Did this along with DH, who
was starting his training session directly after mine.)

Um, subject should have said "9/29/2003". Guess I'm still feeling the
wine :-).

Chris, 85 lbs is just incredible. I am so excited for you to get that
much behind you.
Keep it up Chris!

Thanks, Susan :-). You'll get there too. I only lose around 4 lbs. a
month on average now, but it adds up over time.
