Friday (194)

Lost two pounds this week - that's really quite an achievement given the high-calorie nightmares I had on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. How did I do it? Busted my ass at the gym, as usual. Losing three pounds over the Christmas and New Year's weeks is impossible unless you do that - I went to the gym ten times in the past two weeks. The four days I had off the gym was closed. As Roy Castle probably said with his last breath, that's dedication. (I think he also said, "Jesus Christ, will you put that out...")

So, I'm down to 194, or 13 stone 12. That's a total loss of 24 pounds, now. 14 to go.

Did a thousand calories on the treadmill today (61 minutes). A weight session was scheduled but the gym was so unbelievably busy that I had to put that off until tomorrow - so, I'll do my final weights session of week #4 on Saturday, and then week #5 will start Sunday.

The 1000 kcal opened up an opportunity for a nice cheat day, so I took it, and, alas, drank way too much.

Here's what I ate:

Food-wise it was pretty reasonable. The alcohol was excessive but when you have everything with zero calorie mixers it keeps it all under control (to a point.)
