30

Day 30 for me and Day 25 for Lee.

Wow, seeing the scale this morning was great! Sadly I'm not glad as to the reason why, not enough food. I didn't eat enough yesterday, and I'm pretty sure it affected my attitude. But I also didn't do my cardio, just some crunches in the evening when I got home from EMTA. Oh well, today is a new day and I'll be hitting the gym at lunch because of lodge this evening. Tomorrow I'll probably do the same at lunch for my leg day as we're going to see Tame Impala in the evening and then Friday is my rest day. We might go to the beach, hiking or to Magic Mountain that day, so I'll get in plenty of walking or moving on my rest day.

From yesterday's video Lee wants me to think about my goal. According to the program if I keep at it, I can expect to reasonably lose between 2 to 3 pounds a week. Based on my goal of getting to under 200 by Maui, I'll need to drop over 3.5 pounds a week. So I might be short on the goal. But I'm going to try like Hell to get there. The key points Lee goes over in today's video is to do 3 sets of each exercise, don't waste time at the gym and rest only long enough to catch my breath between sets. I think I did too much in the first couple of weeks, too many sets and too many exercises per group. Last week and this week I'm going to focus on only adding in one extra exercise to the list depending on how I'm feeling and the availability of equipment. As for the goal, I just need to focus on the minimum of a half pound a day and I should be fine in getting to that goal. Which means that tomorrow I gotta hit 216, and then on Friday 215.5, then on Saturday 215, Sunday 214.5, Monday 214, Tuesday 213.5 and so on... 

Got home from lodge not too thrilled about how I was feeling. Weighed myself and I was at 220 on the dot. It's not bad, but it could be better. Still, just take things one day at a time.
