Sorry guys haven’t had time to do double entry of workouts (I keep a ss of my data) but I really enjoy the support I get from the website so I will keep contributing to forums and discussions.  You guys are great.

Spinning


Wow,  today was supposed to be my full body day including str training but screwed up my calorie intake (~425 cals by 2:30) for the day and bonked at work at 2:30.  Oops.  Barely finished my cardio.  Too tired for lifting.  Tomorrow will be better.  Interesting fact, my weight went up 2 pounds before bed.  Must have held on to a lot of water from rehydrating.

Beer Drinking
