Diet update
Jan. 21st, 2003 10:34 pmWell, the big lifestyle change is still going well. On Monday both Tammy and I had a meeting with our personal trainer, Matt. (We got a free session as part of the sign-up for the athletic club.) He put me through my paces of doing a number of different cardivascular and anaerobic excersizes, which in WW terms got me a bunch of bonus points to spend.
So I splurged, as yesterday was a day off, by going to an all-you-can-eat Chinese food place that we like. I was pretty good, too: My first plate was all salad. My second plate was a collection of (non-fried) food, and by the time I started thinking about a third plate I felt full from all of the salad. It's not a trip I should take every day, but between the excersize and the points I can save up from day to day it's a viable treat or break from the normal.
Very nummy.
I've changed my work schedule - I'm now working 9-6 on MWF, so I can get up extra-early and go in with my wife to excercize in the morning. Matt says we're more likely to excercize if we do it in the mornings, so we'll try that. I'm hoping the combination of this with WW will help me lose weight a little faster - I'm looking forward to hitting the 10% goal that WW set for me when I started.
