It's about performance not the weight

Headed to the gym this evening with my workout buddy. I managed 3 miles (in 30 minutes) on the elliptical and about 30 minutes of weight lifting and various calisthenics. 23 full situps in 1 minute with minimal weighing down of my feet and 15 half (girlie) push ups. I'm going to try to improve these numbers as the months go on.

Last year, after a grueling boot camp at the local community center I was able to do 10 full regular push ups. I don't recommend going from couch potato to boot camp though. It was pure hell for many weeks even if it did produce results.

On another note, I currently weigh a solid 252 pounds. Probably my heaviest ever. And to think I thought I'd die if I ever weighed more than 200 pounds. Here I am still breathing (and panting my way up flights of stairs).

I suppose Mondays can be my weigh in day.

Pre-gym/after work snack:

1 Pria bar - 110

2oz deli turkey slices - 60

1 bite of granola bar - 30

Total: 200
