Jus' Starting


Monday - This is not my first day working out, but it's very near to it. I am re-starting a plan to lose weight. I spent last week running on the elliptical trainer every morning for 15 minutes. Heart rate was, on average, between 155 and 160. Daily diet consisted of a lot of brown rice (short grain) made palatable with chopped walnuts and/or sprinkles of feta cheese.

Cheated frequently on the diet, with innumerable fudgesicles, on the premise that I needed to adjust to one painful thing at a time. My aim was to get used to the exercising bit, and then start adjusting my diet as well.

Powertec Workbench has arrived, so now is the time to start tracking weight and workout routines, as well as attempting to track some of my eating habits.

Today's workout:
Elliptical in the morning. 15 mins, 155bpm.
First resistance workout in years. Pre-wkout weigh-in at 248.5
