Day 19 - Hit another 10 mark

I had a fantastic workout at they gym today. I decided to skip the elliptical and hit the treadmill. I started off with a very brisk 10 min walk. After that I did a moderate 10 min jog. (As well as my normal weight lifting exercises of course). All in all it was a great day and I sweat off a serious amount of body fluid.

My Wii decided to be a bit of a boner and started dying on us last night. I took the time to open it up and fix it. Afterward I put it in my room to test it out and decided that Wii Fit would be ideal for this purpose. I did a Wii fit workout for about 30 mins (my first time using Wii fit). I was seriously enjoying myself and I totally soaked my cloths. If anyone wants to get their heart pumping, I easily say that it does work.

Today's weigh in was pretty late in the day...after supper in fact. I was surprised at how much I had actually sweat today. My weigh in was 220 lbs. The grand total to date is 20 lbs lost. I am sure someone will contend that the loss is temporary because it is just liquid weight from sweating and that I will just gain it back as I drink...but i don't care. :) I will just have to push myself harder to make up for it. I am thrilled at the thought of being at or under the 200 mark. I am 1/3 of the way to having my weigh match my calorie intake.


As promised I found some recipes. YAY. I only found 2 that I really liked so far, so I will share them right now. Let me know if you like them.
