aerobic x 2

Did aerobic twice today. My coccyx was hurting, but I decided to go ahead and use the elliptical anyway.

Morning session around 5:30. 20 min, averaging 150 bpm, and 3 sprints to bring the bpm up to 160+

Had brown rice, feta and almonds for lunch, and a Jamaican style ginger beer. Shouldn't really be drinking real soda, but I don't usually, so it was an indulgence.

Tailbone still hurting when I got home. Stretched a bit until it seemed to be a little loosened up. Seems tightened back muscles aggravate it, and if I hang on the lat pull bar a bit I can traction myself enough to get a bit of relief.

Did another twenty minutes on elliptical. Four sprints. Cruising around 150, with sprints to 165+.

Post elliptical weigh-in a -very- disappointing 243.5. Ignore it. It's not 'real' numbers, just like dehydrated weight isn't 'real' numbers. Stick with the plan, and look for the absolute lowest, dehydrated weight to drop. When you break 240, then you've lost at least 5 real pounds, and possibly more.

More importantly, my 46 waist pants are looking like Jethro pants these days. It's not so noticeable that I need to buy new pants, but I can now comfortably pull my belt all the way to the extra hole I punched at the bottom.

My next goal is to have size 44 waist pants fit me the same way.

Patience, little grasshopper.

And now I will reward myself with beer. -- GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE KEYBOARD! I don't need your 'you're sabotaging yourself!" bull-puckey. Every day is an exercise of will, and if you push TOO hard, YOU FAIL.

Gotta know when to push, and when to just, you know, open a beeeeeeeer! (mmmmmmm!)
And right now, it's that time -- you know, right about beer-thirty.
