Musings of an Internet Junkie

More like Hurt Day. I traveled approximately 3.7 miles on Wednesday, not counting my two laps around a local plaza, with an average pulse rate of 166bpm. My weight has now dropped to 256.0 lbs. I worked upper body today by performing the bench press, military press, curls, tricep pulldowns, lat pulldowns, and the row.

Just to let my readers know, I will typically be at least one day behind in providing progress updates regarding my workout. As an example, this update is related to my results on July 7, 2009.

I traveled approximately 5.44 miles on Tuesday with an average pulse rate of 170.67bpm. My weight has now dropped to 256.5 lbs. I began my initial lower body workout today by performing leg extensions, working the hamstrings, calf raises, and squats.

I started a new workout regime yesterday. Been slacking since the beginning of the year with only fits and starts at trying to get into the habit of working out again. Now I only have approximately eight weeks left of “free” time to really cut off some weight and get back into shape.

I spent three half-hour periods yesterday on the elliptical machine, covering a total of 5.18 miles with an average pulse rate of 168bpm. Man am I out of shape. I also spent time on the weight machine attacking my upper body. Current body weight as of this morning, 256.5 lbs.

I plan on keeping a spreadsheet of all of the vital statistics such as distance, time, pulse rate, weight lifted, reps and sets, and body weight. I will also attempt to track my food intake too. I am hoping this information will help me fine tune my eating habits and workout to become more efficient and observe results more quickly. I will also be posting short blurbs here as well as on several other social sites (ie Facebook, Twitter, etc) discussing daily accomplishments and body weight so friends and family can follow along.
