Day 3 : Summary
It is really exciting that I am feeling better after only 3 workouts. I think the most noticeable change is my attitude. I am feeling ‘happier’ and Dawn has even noticed a change in my behavior.
Dawn found out that there is a mini-triathlon here in Gainesville sometime in June and I am going to make a strong effort to participate. I think it’s 1/4 Ironman and that is a perfect opportunity to gauge where I am at and also get in a great workout.
For breakfast had lightly buttered rye bread toast, lunch was yet another turkey sandwich with carrots, almonds for a snack, and grilled chicken and rice for dinner.
Workout was another 1 hour run on the mill. Going to shift to upper body and abs tomorrow to give my legs a rest. Also, I really need to focus on stretching as I am not currently very flexible.
Lost another two pounds this morning, which gives a 5 lb loss in 2 days. I think I can average 2 lbs per day for the next week, then I will probably see my weight-loss start to tail off.
I am using a neat little iPhone app to track my weight loss called Weightbot. I included a screen shot of the graphing option it has below. Simple and easy to use. More info here: http://tapbots.com/weightbot/
