Yeah, maybe onion is what it needed. Something else. Overall, I think my routine is pretty doable. I really wanted to focus on really getting it on down so it becomes a habit to me. I think I am going to modify my workouts slightly. I think in things overhead DB press and the one are DM lift I will add in extra reps. Right now my workout is 2x15 reps. I think I could add another set in there, or maybe even two. I don't quite have my balance and form on some of the exercises, so I think I will wait to try to add weight to those until I am more stable. Others I can do with holding the dumbbells. The C25k seems to be going ok. I try to push it those last couple of jogs a bit. Makes me very winded and gives me a really good sweat so far. Today was suppose to be my Day 1 week 2 of C25k, but things went late with everything today. Raiding in WoW (killed Lei Shen tonight!), got dinner late, and we were trying to get the house straighten up and cleaned since my Dad is coming into town. So my plan is to do the C25k on the same days as my workouts this week, plus Sunday. I'll basically move my "day off" from Sunday to today. That will put me back on track. Thursday and Saturday I think I will try to just get in walking cardio since I wouldn't be doing anything on those days otherwise (I do bowl on Thursday). Things will get a little hectic this week. Friday we are going to drive up north to Chico where my sister lives. She had her second son a couple of weeks ago, and we are all going up to meet him. I'll be coming home on Sunday. So I will need to figure out what to do for C25k Friday night, and walking on Saturday. Not too big a deal, but it's on my mind.

Well, today was sort of a fail day for me. Eating wise it was ok. Dinner was later then I wanted. The big thing is not running my 2nd week of C25k. So I will probably just move it to the same days as my workouts this week. So i will kind of move my "day off" to today from next Sunday. Workouts will continue as planned. I was looking over it, and am going to modify it with more reps and weight to other workouts where I can. Then I think on the days where I was going to run, I will just do some walking like I use to. At least I will still get to bed by midnight I guess! Hope everyone else is going strong. Not going to let this hiccup stop me.

Yeah, so far I have hated most things that were steamed. Excellent, thanks

It wasn't bad. It needed something though. I think next time I'll add in some ham. So far I haven't had anything too bad. Had some raw carrots that didn't taste like dirt So we got broccoli, asparagus, and cauliflower to try this week. Also other stuff like the peppers to have in salads. Also grabbed some baby carrots. We were thinking of trying to make a cauliflower mash, and probably bake the asparagus and broccoli with some olive oil. Bought some seasonings too we might try with them. Awesome From what I hear, cauliflower mash is pretty good. I recall broccoli smelling like that. I couldn't stand the smell of it.

That is great for your sister. Awesome you can help out like that too

Channel the Dude!

Ahh that's too bad for him. Looks like you got other forms of workout in though

Hope everything is going good abs!

We bought two heads of cauliflower for this exact reason. Or one to try a mash recipe with, and another head for something else. I'm guessing I'd be using butter too

Hell yeah, lets do this!

Great Job! Looks like a very successful week 1

Thanks! I hope to keep the ball rolling into week 2! Thank you I sure hope to be right up there Yup, trying to start off the week good. Got my workout in, cardio with my son. Had red and green bell peppers mixed in a omelet this morning (needed some other stuff in it), and eating a salad with all sorts of veggies in it now. Plus a little bit of grilled chicken breast. I have bowling tonight, then I need to move some boxes from the hours to garage since my Dad is coming to visit. Not sure what we might have for dinner, but I might try and get veggies in there somehow

Nice!

With all that stress, sounds like you really need your 2nd goal of meditating. Hey at least you are trying. You drank lots of water. During the times when it gets super stressful just sit back for a minute and breath. Get that quick meditation in and hopefully feel a little better about the stressful situation

Sounds like you did well having to have a funeral in there. Really great eating, I am sure it will all fall in line this week for you

Well done. I take great pleasure anyone asks me if I lost weight w00t all you want too!

Good Job so far Way to go!

Would it be bad to have some bottles of water with you to drink? That way you aren't forced to drink soda. Or even some snapple or tea or something? I never was a big beer drinker or anything, but when I quite sodas I just always made sure I had water around. Usually most get togethers I went to had water there.

Agreed! You rocked this week with an injury.

You had some success there Keep it going into week 2 so you can get to butt kicking

Awesome first week! Let's hope for a great week 2! Nothing specific yet, but had some green and red bell peppers last night in my salad, and they were good enough I think I will have some with breakfast. I am a ham and cheese omelet type person. Never never eat anything other then that for omelets. Well, this morning I am going to try a omelet with those bell peppers added in I have a few different veggies to try this week, and they are all fresh. So I may like a couple of different ones after this week I updated my Week 1 progress here Hit all my goal marks and then some. Feeling great after this first week. Ready to go get it in week 2

Ok, full on week 1 report: Goal 1: Workout at least 3 times a week. Done! I completed the Rebel Fitness guide Level 1 workout 3 times this week. Not only that, but I also completed the C25k program on the off days. So Basically Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were workout days. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday were the running days. I kept going on days I didn't want to, but I stuck it out. Sunday was rest day. So I plan on keeping this pace the rest of the challenge... and beyond! Goal 2: Find ways to eat veggies. Updated: Eat vegetables at least 3 times a week in some form. I thought this one might be a little tough, but I think I aced it this week. One dinner I had Broccoli and Carrots baked with Italian dressing. I had a couple of salads on the days I was traveling. We had wings the other night, and I ate some of the raw Carrots and celery. Last night we had corn on the cob, and salad. I bought green and red bell peppers that we chopped into cubes and added them to the salad. It tasted good enough, I think I might make a omelet this morning and add them in there too So I say I successful completed this goal this week. I bought tons of veggies this weekend to make for this week Goal 3: Stop all the late night snacking I did it! Not a snack after dinner time. On my off day I did snack some, but still not after dinner time. We had bought some trailmix from a store called Sprouts. Goal 4: Get some sleep! Well, I got my sleep! Every night I was in bed around midnight. I give myself about 10 minutes to get up there and stuff. Today I ended up waking up early. I guess I was too excited to posts the weekly recap So week 1 was really great for me. Thank you to everyone checking in and seeing how I was doing. I didn't take any measurements at the beginning of the challenge, but I did weigh in. I started last week at 333lbs. Today the scale has me at 327lbs. Not too shabby. I hope I converted some muscle with the workouts I also did not have any of that chocolate pie. Not even on my day off.

I was going to ask if you painted the tires so you could beat it off them Not sure what the product is, I guess powdered chalk of some kind.

Congrats to your son

Great work so far. Walking around the Zoo should be fun and exercise all in one
