Diet, Sch-miet

So in an effort to achieve our SSS status, we've instituted a house diet... aka, eat healthier. In fact, with some experimentation I found that I was actually able to make it through a day without being too hungry... calorie total for the day: 765. Of course, we all know that's wayyy too little. So, I'm trying to do the whole 5 - 8 small meals per day, trying to cut calories around the range of 300 - 500 from before. So far so good!

Troy on the other hand... let's just say for dinner the other night he had a half a pan of brownies...

Things I'll Be Needing

In order for this whole SSS thing to work, I'm going to need a few things.
1) A beautiful masseuse to fix my shoulders, cuz frankly, they're killing me.

2) A beautiful young woman to hate me and not give me a freakin' chance of taking her out, and then progressively as I get super sexier, she starts to "wear down" (steve urkel style, "I'm wearing you dowwwwwn Laura, wearing you dowwwwwwwwn) and eventually, upon SSS achievement, she goes out with me. Think of it as a "something to look forward to" type model.

3) I need a future mirror (see above), to keep me working hard towards the prize in which I have been called to. Yea, perhaps you're thinking of a Bible verse, and that's what I stole it from. But hey it's true, gotta keep your eyes on the prize, and the prize in this case is Super Sexy By Summer Achievement.

Improvement...

Looking at the spreadsheet, I can already see some, if not mild improvement... I can't wait to see more, I'm really nerdy about excel and spread sheets and trends and linear regression, I can't wait till we have enough data to make graphs, and calculate percentage gains and stuff...

Also the first week in April starts soccer practice, so Matt and I will enjoy an additional 3 hours of running a week. We should see some good results in a few short weeks.

Mood: Excited for what the future holds

Looking Forward

The soreness has gone away from Sunday night, and Thursday. I'm looking forward to lifting tonight, I think we are starting to get over the hump. I think the support of all three of us doing it, has reallyed helped with motivation both in actaully getting up to go lift, and in finnishing each rep and set using every last bit of strength. The good work out music also helps...

Select Tech

To get that real bowflex body, we are thinking about investing in those fancy cool weights by Bowflex called Select Tech, the adjustable ones... hmmm will Oak St. Fitness be getting these?

Jogging

Ben and I were jogging today from our place down the WO&D trail. I was complaining because I thought Ben was running too slow, but in his defense I suck at pacing myself, I like speed. Soon an old lady (like 60 YO) was coming up on us, she passed us and said "Guys, I'm old enough to be your grandma, pick it up". Talk about pouring salt in wounds... Ouch... Wait till grandma see us on July 1st.

2nd day... 1st real one

I just finished lifting, biceps and back... My arms hurt, but the music was good:
