Moving Along

I changed up my treadmill workout last night.  Instead of adding speed, I added incline.  I started with the treadmill set at 10 (max incline is 10), and started walking at 3 mph.  After 1/4 mile, I decrease the incline to 8 and increase the speed to 3.2 and continued lowering incline and increasing speed until the incline was at 0 and I was jogging at 7 mph.  At the end of 20 minutes I'd burned 200 calories and was totally exhaused.  It felt good, but my legs were like rubber.

Yesterday I ate a Chick-fil-a sandwich, minus the bread.  The chicken patty was awesome.  I ate a lot yesterday.  I even went to a Chinese buffet.  But again I kept my portion sizes down.  I ate 6 pices of shushi, a piece of boiled fish, and mellon.  Oh yea, and a small piece of cake.  I felt guilty over the cake, so I went back to the church fitness center and rode 10 minutes on the exercise bike.

This morning I weighed in at 243.8.  That means I'm losing about a half a pound a day on average.  However, I think I'll give my legs the day off and take a break from the treadmill.  I think I'll try to get some kind of upper body workout instead.

My Verse of The Day: Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
