Take a step back and look at the picture.

To say that its been busy around here would not begin to describe it so with that lets just say that things not of the weight loss and health world have reigned supreme for a bit. This week has started off good with a 1900 calorie day and a trip to the gym on Monday, 1 gallon of green tea and about a gallon of H2O went down as well. I thought that I would post up the menu from Monday for you to gander at, its nothing special and slightly higher than I like it to be but well within reasonable.

Breakfast
7:45 AM
1/2 cup steel cut oats 300
splash of milk 40

11:30 AM
1 Zone perfect bar 190

Lunch
2:30 PM
2 80 cal rolls 160
1 T peanut butter 95
1 T apricot preserves 50

Dinner
6:00 PM
2 slices whole wheat bread 140
1 can tuna 150
1 T light mayo 35
onion/jalapeno 10
2oz doritos 280
1oz cheese 110

6:30 PM
1 orange 80

7:30 PM
1 orange 80

9:15 PM
banana 105
peanut butter 95

That's a grand total of 1920 calories for the day and my trip to the gym was a 20 minute bike ride followed by 25 minutes on the treadmill at 3.4mph with varying inclines as high as 13% and as low as 3.5%. I have started running on the treadmill in intervals, I walk a quarter of a mile followed by a 6mph run for a quarter mile alternating back and forth for 20 minutes and I am going to do this each Friday until I don't feel it in my shins any more and hopefully this will keep me running because I don't want to over do it and have it effect my other workouts because of fatigue, running seems to take a lot out of me.

The last week has been full of non weight related stress thus the lack of blog posts but the clouds are moving away so I figured I would post up a quick update. Heading to the gym later today the plan is the same, 20 minutes on the bike, 20-30 minutes on the treadmill and it is a weight lifting day and I Think I am going to meander on over to the free weights and give them a go as I have been using machines up until now.

That's all I got, Keep on keepin on and don't forget that H2O, Thanks for following along.

As Ever
