So, I've continued with my cardio since the last time I posted and finally got back to doing some weight lifting yesterday. And of course today I'm nice and sore. But I like it. I'm definitely getting stronger.
The first time we got out there I could barely bench press the bar all by itself (which it weighs 45lbs) 10 times. By the 8th or so I was struggling and by the 10th I couldn't lift it back up on my own, HDT had to spot me big time.
Now it's more like a warm up. Although I still do it 10 times I can do it quite fast now without the struggle. Yes, it's heavy by the 10th one but I can lift it quite quick now. So what I do is 10 at 45, 8 at 50, 6 at 55, 4 at 60 and 2 at 65. Those last few are a struggle but I'm sure they won't be for long. And of course he does much heavier weights.
There are other lifts we do but those are the ones I remember the most.
Eating has still been good. I'm not depriving myself of a desert or chips, I'm just eating less than normal. I've gotten much better at portion control.
What's still bad is buttered rolls though. Take the other night for example. I made chicken breasts, baked potatoes, green beans and rolls for dinner. We each get 1 and 1/2 rolls. I ate all the beans, all but two bites of the chicken (it was quite large) and about half of the potato. But could I stop myself from the rolls? Nope, still ate those and of course they had a decent amount of Parkay on them. Ah well, at least I didn't finished the potato which also had a decent amount of Parkay.
But the last several times I've weighed myself I've stayed under 190. In fact I'm down to 188 now.
Go me!
