Good workout today.  Was sweating pretty good after my weighted vest walk.  I came under my nutrition goal this week.  Most of the week I was hovering around 221.6, but the last two days of the week I binged a little, so I added some weight back on.  I will be weighing in on Saturday this week, as I will be out of town.  Hopefully I can get under 220, so I can enjoy some adult beverages this weekend.  Today is almost done, and I have a 300 calorie snack waiting and will still be under my calorie goal.  Don't know if I will be hungry enough to eat it.  Had a smaller breakfast and lunch today than normal, and ate more for dinner, we will see where it takes me.

Good workout today.  the weighted vest walk felt great as it was sunny and 65 degrees outside.  Squats felt smooth and light.  For my nutrition, I forgot what my weigh in was for last week, so I am going off of two weeks ago.  Almost 2 lbs down in those two weeks, so i am on the right track.  I again went over what I set as my target goal for calories by about 153 calories/day which is a little over 1000 calories throughout the week.  I might be a little low on my recommended calories, which is fine, since it gives me a little cushion throughout the week.

A little rough getting back into the groove of lifting again after a week off.  My fitness test went well last week, nutrition was the greatest though.  Today was week four of the second phase, I need to buckle down on my nutrition and stay steady throughout the entire week, no cheat days.

Week 15

I am in training all week, so I will not be hitting the weights at all.  I got in a nice 25 minute walk this morning with the weighted vest and will do another walk on Wednesday.  I have a fitness test on Friday, so I am resting up for that.  My nutrition over the last week was as follows:

Beginning Weight: 229.8 ** See explanation here
Ending Weight:  225.8

Calories:  2377 Avg Calories/Day
Protein: 35%
Carbs: 36%
Fat:  29%

Not too bad on the nutrition this week, went over on average 27 calories a day, but in reality I only went over on Friday and Sunday.  This week will be hard tracking the calories, as our lunch is catered in, and I have no way of getting an accurate count.  The lunches they provide are on the lighter side, so that is a plus, and if i watch my intake for breakfast and lunch, I should be able to lose a pound or two.

Nutrition

Starting Weight: 227.8 (3/25/2013)
Ending Weight: 225.6 (3/30/2013)**

I weighed myself Sunday morning and I weighed in at 225.6 I still had about 2700 calories left for the week to finish even.  I went to my wife's parent's house and ate Easter dinner, when I woke up this morning I weighed in at 229.8.  I find it hard to believe I ate over 14000 calories (4 lbs of food).  I am thinking it is just water retention from the ham and two slices of pie I had.  Anyway, I am counting my weigh in from yesterday morning and not today, call it cheating, but I will be below 225 by the end of the week.

Breakdown:

No average calories, because of Sunday's binge, I averaged under 2350 up until Sunday.
Carbs: 33%
Protein:  37%
Fat: 30%

As for my workout today, it was great.  Got all ten sets on my pull ups and lunges were a little less painful.  I am use to doing the 30" box jump, so these 24" ones were easy.
