So, we didn't do anything yesterday morning but we did this morning. Got on the elliptical again while he was on the treadmill.
HDT created a chart for us to keep track of what we're doing and our weight. We've agreed there won't be any pizza until it's completed. Pizza is his downfall, not so much mine, but it's an easy thing to have for dinner so we usually end up having at around twice a week. And if we order it out there's leftovers which means he's having it three times at least. I don't usually eat leftover pizza.
So yeah, he figured out if we just do it weekdays then it'll be just over 3 weeks before the chart is completed. That's a long time without pizza but I think we can do it.

I'm hurting and I like it
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!
