Diet Update
245.5: -21.7 pounds
The last month has been difficult for a number of reasons. Primarily - my foot still hurts, but I'm pretty much ignoring it now. I actually started weight training last week, with first first leg workout last Wednesday. When I was done, my knees were wobbly, and for 3 days I couldn't walk down stairs without being in pain and holding onto the rails. And sitting down on the toilet... well, I was wishing for handicap rails! I followed that up with an upper body workout on Friday, and did legs again on Monday. Thursday, Saturday, Monday, and yesterday (Wednesday) I did the treadmill and crunches. I'll be doing another upper body workout tonight.
I don't like the equipment at the Nautilus Fitness Center as much as the equipment that was at my previous gym. They're definately more focused on free-weights, and their machines seem to be pretty old. I bought a 15 month membership for $12/month, paid in advance so I can't complain, the price is right! But as of this past weekend, we also have a family membership at the YMCA in Cary. The Y runs the before and after school care programs, and the discount they offer to members essentially makes up for the $82/month family membership rate. So it's a wash. And they've got a really nice gym with very up to date equipment.
Anyway, now that I'm doing the weight training, hopefully I can build some muscle and burn more calories!
