Day 2A

Calories in 1500
Carbs 85

12 minutes on treadmill with a 3 minute cool down
20 minutes on weight circuit
20 minutes with medicine ball & hand weights
5 minutes on recumbent bike

     He lied!  I did weights again today, but that is OK!  Weights were a little easier today, but shoulder still hurting so lighter weights.  Worked up a little sweat today :-)
     Tried a couple recipes from the Biggest Loser cookbooks today - will post pics and recipes tomorrow on the Food page!
     Off to bed, been a long day and I am tired!  Good night!

Day 1 (again)

     So I fell off the "wagon" and I have now restarted!  I also began my membership at a local gym, Rtowne Fitness in Lakeville, NY.  Gained some weight back so I am starting at 255.6 pounds! (UGH)
     At the gym, Fred, the trainer, started me off at 10 minutes (2.0 - no incline) on the treadmill.  Then we did a weight circuit (arms, legs, back, chest, abs) and I did about 10 reps on each machine.  He wants me to start slow!
     I will be keeping a food journal, but not posting it here.  I know what my calorie intake should be and I will follow this as closely as I can without going over.  I have found some great recipes to try out in the Biggest Loser Cook Books!
     Good night!  Post again tomorrow!
