Nice nails! Yeah, I let my daughter paint my nails. In case you haven't figured it out with those nasty toes, I'm a dude. A dude that's secure enough that he can have pretty red toenails with a sparkly gold clear coat on top.
No change in the weight. While I would like to see it continue to drop, I'm glad it's not going up due to the not eating at home. I think I only ate at a restaurant a couple of times in the 30 days prior to this 7 day stretch where I have or will eat out several times. Not ideal, but I need to learn to make good choices at these outings or at least prepare by eating really light leading up to and after the splurges. Moderation.
Today's meals:
Breakfast: None, had errands to run
Lunch: 2 egg omelet with lots of veggies including spinach.
Snack: Mt. Dew and a couple of snack sized candy bars
Dinner: Pork tenderloin, fries, 2 Mt Dews, a few fried pickles. I started out cutting the sandwich in half and cutting off all of the extra tenderloin intending only to eat half of the sandwich. I slipped back into fat guy mode and ate the whole sandwich by the end of the event. No bueno.
Exercise: So the title alluded to it, but this is officially the first day of my 100pushup challenge. I'll be honest, I already don't feel as committed to this as I do the losing weight journey. I'm gonna give it the college try as I want to be healthier and more fit, but I can tell it's going to be a chore to keep motivated. I know, I should be excited and not sabotage the thing before it starts - I'm just being honest, it's not exciting. So, I did the initial test yesterday and I can tell you I'm weak. The initial test is just you trying to do as many perfect form push ups in a row as possible. I did 13 consecutive push ups and then started struggling and losing form. I could have probably pushed out a few more mediocre ones, but it didn't matter as the test would have put me in the same tier even if I got to 20. Today was day one and I had to do the following sets with 60 seconds rest in between:
10, 12, 7, 7, 9+
I'm weak. I made it through, but am definitely feeling it in the pecs and shoulder area. It's disappointing as I, like a lot of people, used to be fairly fit and considered myself a strong person. I'm old now and shit isn't like it once was. Maybe that will help motivate me to keep this side challenge going. It looks like I'm only supposed to do these three days a week - Monday, Wednesday, Friday seems to be what's going to work for me.
Thirty-One days down.
