Nick's Weight Loss Journal - Day 4: Rise and Shine, and Back to the Grind

Well, it's Monday. That means it's back to work, and the start of my exercise routine before work. I normally wake up at 6:30, and snooze until as late as 7:00, but I can't do that any more. I'm a trouble sleeper, because I wake up periodically thinking I've slept through the alarm when it's 3:00 and I have hours left to go. This morning was no different. I woke at 5:30, wondering why my alarm didn't go off. I tried going back to sleep, but by 6:00, I decided to get up and about, do a few things before I start my routine. Threw some laundry in the dryer, ate my breakfast before my workout, and typed up this draft of my journal post.

My workout wasn't as hard as the last one. One thing I've noticed is that I don't breathe properly when exerting physical effort. Today, I concentrated on my breathing. Still had some fatigue in my arms, but I survived. I need more activity. I know I eventually want to up my workout to 30 minutes. Right now, I am trying to establish a routine of waking up. Once I get that down, I'll up it to 30. In the meantime, I think I'm going to go for a walk during my lunch. I bought sneakers today specifically for that reason.

Guess what I ate this morning? Yep, Cheerios. This isn't going to be an every day thing, though. I bought a bunch of the single serving cereal bowls in a few different varieties. Cheerios happens to be the one I grabbed. I wish I had a piece of fruit. My sister left a almost bare refrigerator, just milk and OJ, and vegetables for my niece's Guinea pig. I didn't get a chance to pick up any fruit on my way to work, and I was an idiot and didn't pick any up on my way home. That's ok, tho. For lunch, I had a ham grinder with my usual assortment of veggies. Had some cookies, as well. Bad me. And had a couple chicken patties at home, cuz they were fast and easy.

Wii Fit Stats

Weight: 286.8 lbs
BMI: 41.06

Ok, my weight is rising, not falling. I'm up another 1.3 lbs, although I was almost fully dressed for work, so a contributing factor might be that I miscalculated the weight of my clothes. My bets, however, are that I will have gained again tomorrow. Hopefully the walking will help.

Tomorrow's another day. 'Night, all.
