Weekly Updates Oct. 7-13th

My update for the week is good and bad news for me personally as I strive to loose my access weight. This report is actually for the past 2 weeks as I failed to post a report. I weighed in at 240.6, which is down from my weight of 242.6 the week prior for a total loss of 5.6lbs since I began. My work out regime for the previous week was very good as I went to the gym or worked out at the home at five times that week. However, this past week was not so good. The only work out I did was a pick-up basketball game on Monday evening where I worked off a great many calories. However, in addition to the calories, I also worked many muscles that I had not worked in at least 8 months. Therefore, I was hurting for the remainder of the week and did not feel good enough to work out until the weekend. Unfortunately, the weekend was not a good time for me to work out as I had to work most of it.

My goal for this week is to get back to my regimin of working out at least 5 times a week. I have already begun this week with that goal. Also, I would like to see significant weight lose this week. My goal is to loose 5 lbs this week alone. In order to obtain this goal, I will be working out 5 times, while watching what I eat. I have not been as good this week with my eating habits, but I think I am still within my caloric intake levels as I have been working out consistently this week.

Fitness Tip of the Week
Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!
