Mission Accomplished, here i come.

Day 1: Post-workout #2
Yo!
so, I just arrived home from the gym. did a quick little warm-up lap, and 45 minutes of Cardio on the cross-trainer (xt):
Cardio (interval-training):
So I did it like this -
That's interval training; it burns roughly the same calories during the workout, but more continuous calories (higher resting metabolic rate) after. Get it?
Oh - my (rough estimate) gross caloric intake today is approx. 350 calories.
this includes:
so I'm at least 500 calories in the red - which is a few things:
a. Clinical Anorexia
b. Awesome
c. Just where I want to be
aside from raising my metabolic rate through excercise and healthier (and certainly, going forward, there is a more orthodox diet than gum & chicken) eating, if i can stay behind myself by 500 calories a day, I will lose at LEAST 1lb/week for the next 6 weeks.
let's stay tuned, shall we?
See you in the a-m.

Day 1. post-gym.
Before I get into what i did at the gym, the end goal of this is to weigh approx. 180lbs (81kg) - +/- 5lbs by Thursday, October 19th. Preferably at roughly 13% bodyfat. Right now, my numbers are 216lbs, with probably about 18-19% bodyfat, which is gross.
back-to-it: I went to the gym. Did the following workout:
Warm-up:
3 minutes on the cross trainer @ level 18; 2 minutes @ level 20 (out of 20).
Chest :
3 sets pectoral flies on the fly/rear delt machine
Triceps:
3 sets dips
didn't really do a terribly thorough triceps workout, but i definitely felt it, so that's good. moreover, this is day one.
so far I've eaten:
a stick of dentyne fire chewing gum... yummy.
I certainly need to eat something else, but that's a "we'll see."
If you're following along, you'll probably feel like you're having a heart-attack tomorrow. don't fret - it's just your chest from the workout.
I'll be doing some cardio tonight. details on that later.
I'm adjusting the sidebar to list supplements I'm taking, very basic stuff, and stuff I've used for years that works well.
I'll also put a widget or something in there that shows my goal and how far I am from it.
until later

Day 1. 216 lbs (approx. 97 KG)
I woke up this morning, after a day of hearty enjoyment from Labor Day cookouts, and confirmed what I suspected immediately following my trip to Las Vegas:
I'm getting fat.
In June of 2006, I weighed 195lbs, give or take.
Now, as the title suggests I'm up at 216. more than 20 lbs heavier.
which is awful.
I've actually considered
Now, first, I don't want you to take this as advice. What I'm going to do is not a diet per se. it's an experiment in discipline, and it's mainly to show what can be achieved in 45 days with the proper motivation.
Starting now, I'll be logging my workout scale, my diet regimen, what I'm drinking, et al.
I don't encourage you trying this, but if you've tried everything else, maybe this will give you some inkling on how to talk to your physician.
First things first, I'm headed to the gym. update when I return.
