I thought last week was busy and stressful, but it was a cakewalk compared to this week. I suppose there wasn’t as much stress, but busy, yeah. It was very busy. However, I knocked it out of the park with the exercise this week. Every day I did something – and I didn’t take it easy (except for one relaxing walk with The Girl – but even Superman needs a break). I worked hard. Killed calories and added new exercises, like weight lifting and time on the elliptical trainer. I’m a cross-training fool. The weights killed my arms. They have, after a week and three workouts, finally recovered to the point were it isn’t total agony to simply raise my arm. I knew the pain of a new start would happen, but that doesn’t make the wait for it to go away any easier.
Looking at myself I can really see the changes. I suppose that is bound to happen when you shed 27.6 lbs. in less than 2 months. It’s awesome and inspiring, and I feel the best I’ve felt in the past 3 years. (And check out this bonus: I’m healthier too! It isn’t just about looking good.)
I’ve had some skipped meals over the past two weeks and I wanted to make sure that didn’t happen this week. (It didn’t.) There is nothing healthy about not eating, especially when you are working out as much as I am. Still lacking in the grains department, though. I’ll rectify that situation with next month’s challenge. Hopefully that focus will get me on track with what I see as my only nutritional weak spot at the moment.

I've been battleing a cold most of this week and my exercise reflects that. My weight however also reflects that.
Weight 229.6 that's right 229.6
Exercise 3 hours cycling and 1 hour and 15 minutes swimming.
Now that the weight is moving in the right direction, I'll really have to keep it up.
PS. Dude put a shirt on!!!!!
Working out for 2 hours a stretch is just cheating.
And I agree with Steve... put a shirt on!
I was hot after my workout and shower. Geez. You think a little skin would make my site all the more popular.
Great job with the working out even while sick.
Neal - buddy - come on. How is it cheating? It's the weekend. I just have more time then.
