    Been extra good since this started since I'm attending a beer release party tomorrow and will be drinking some extra calories. Planning on getting back in the gym on Sunday after a few months off.

    Mind set is getting focused. While waiting at the printer I'm doing squats, and doing incline desk push ups. Walked 20 mins at lunch.

    Not a good weekend. Not making excuses, BUT... (I know right?) I was pretty much a couch potato this weekend.
    Today is day one of me doing the Military Diet, I know this is pretty much a starvation thing, but I need a jump start.... I've been sitting at 226 for far to long. I woke up this morning, tried to loosen up my back, I did some basic calisthenics, and a short 1/2 mile walk. But trust me... this is 100% more than I have been doing in the past. Pushing 55, I know I need to start slow.

    Getting easier to walk/run everyday. It is amazing how changes to what you eat and drink can improve your ability to do cardiovascular activities.

    I am in. SW: 274.4 CW: 240.6

    My aggressive goal is 41lbs which is 13.7lbs a month/3.425lbs a week (I know I know almost impossible but it will put me in Onederland if I can somehow make it to 41lbs lost by Turkey day.

    My realistic goal is 28lbs which is 9.33lbs a month/2.33lbs a week which will put me at 212 by Turkey Day.

    I plan on doing 60 mins-120mins intense cardio 6x a week and 3x a week of strength training. 1000-1300 cals/day of eating with maybe once out of the week of 1800-1900 cals.


    (Although if I can keep up the momentum of what I am doing now and increase activity a bit, I might can pull off 35lbs by Turkey day because I am already down 34lbs in less than 3 months)
