I'm getting stronger

So let's see what we've been up to the last couple weeks...

Weight wise I keep going up and down by a pound to a pound and a half.  Very frustrating.

But last week we incorporated weight lifting into the mix.  Which I'm liking, so that's good.  We've had a weight bench out in the garage for years but have only used it off and on.  He far more than me. 

We've only done some lifting 3 times now but I've already seen an improvement.  I use the bar by itself for the first bench press set since it's 45 lbs.  We do ten, then eight, then six of whatever we're doing all while adding weight with each set.  When we did our lifting yesterday I was able to do ten with no problem at all.  So that made me happy.

Foods been hit or miss really.  Lunches and breakfasts are still good but dinners have come and gone with the good or bad.  For the most part I think they're pretty good but we had pizza twice last week along with Chili's.  So that definitely wasn't good.  At least the Chili's was after we did a full workout on the elliptical (me) and treadmill (him).  But still.

Pretty much waisted a whole month worth of losing what I want to lose before vacation.  Not pleased.  In other words, all this exercising and eating more healthy hasn't become a habit yet.  It's still a chore.  But at least it's a chore I'm willing to keep at.
