Running late, gotta get ready for work... quick post. Legs still aching badly, didn't do cardio. Taking Aleve, hoping it'll help get things limbered up again, going to do some stretches in the mornings from now on, especially before exercise, and see if that helps.

Water: 1 gallon +
Cardio: Ouch. No.
Meal 1- 6 oz Boar's Head turkey slices (6 vlp) and 2 oz low fat Jarlsberg cheese slices (2 lp) with 3 cups raw bell peppers (3 veg)
Meal 2- 1 cup fat free cottage cheese (4 vlp) and 12 raspberries (2 fruit)
Meal 3- 3 scrambled eggs (3 vlp) with 1 oz fat free cheddar (1 vlp) and 1 cup bell peppers, measured raw (1 veg)

Phase 2, Days 31 & 32
Two-fer time again. Forgot to log anything over the weekend.
I tried on an XL shirt tonight, just because I happened to remove it from the drawer where it has lived since 2003. In 2003, I got it from my local MINI dealer as part of their 1st anniversary celebration. Didn't fit, so I stashed it. As of now, it darned near fits. Some might say it does fit, but I like a little breathing room in my clothes, so I'll wait another 10-15 lbs before I try on any more XL shirts. 3X shirts are hanging off of me, and 2X shirts are fitting nicely.
My legs are achy in general and my left hamstring in particular feels very tender for reasons I cannot discern. I haven't been exercising to any extreme- maybe 4 times a week. Took some Aleve tonight & hoping that'll help it ease up.
Saturday, 6/6/09:

Cardio: 30 minutes
Meal 1- 7 oz scallops (7 vlp) with 2 cups broccoli/mushrooms, measured raw (2 veg)

Phase 2, Day 30
My supervisor showed up at the office at about 4:15 this morning. That's a rare sighting. And the dude brought Dunkin' Donuts. Pure evil. But I managed to resist. Then, later this morning, I took my Mom to the movies and of course, I had to survive a trip to the concession stand with only a bottle of water to show for it. Man, that's difficult.

Water: 1 gallon ++

Phase 2, Day 29
Could not get to sleep yesterday, so I am going to pass out early today. I can already feel my eyelids getting heavy.
Today, 6/4/09:
Water: 1 gallon
Cardio: Maybe I'll sleepwalk
Meal 1- 4 oz salmon (4 lp) and 2 cups broccoli, measured raw (2 veg)
Meal 2- 3 hard boiled eggs (3 vlp)
Meal 3- 1 cup fat free cottage cheese (4 vlp) and 12 raspberries (2 fruit)
Meal 4- 4 oz salmon (4 vlp) and 2 cups raw bell peppers (2 veg)
Totals: 12 servings very lean protein, 4 servings lean protein, 4 servings veg, 2 servings fruit.
Notes: I know, I had salmon twice, which was purely by accident. And I listed it as lean once and very lean once. In this case, it was a packaged, frozen salmon fillet for Meal 1, and a vacuum sealed non-frozen fillet for meal 4. I just listed their fat content per their package labels. Normally, I'd ignore the one that said it was very lean and count it as lean. And if I had thought about it before I opened the vacuum package, I would have taken out a tuna steak instead. (I fact, I thought I had taken a tuna steak) Oh well.

Phase 2, Day 28
Another boring night. Very busy at work, and it looks like it's going to stay that way for another 4-8 weeks. YAY!
I still don't have that "good mechanical scale" for the bathroom yet, but I can tell you that my POS electronic scale shows me at 235 this morning. Since it usually read about 4-5 pounds lighter than the doctor's office scale, call it 240, and that's 66 pounds lost since starting the medical plan. More or less.
Last doctor's visit was May 11, and I weighed in at 260 that time. Which would indicate about 20 pounds lost in a little over 3 weeks. Can't be right. Something's off. Meh, I'll ponder it while I sleep.
Either way, once I start getting closer to 200, I will probably need to break down & pay for a gym membership so I can work on some strength training. Gonna have to firm up all this mush. LOL

Phase 2, Day 27
Grrrr. Just as I got my shorts on & went to jump on the exercise bike, the cleaning ladies showed up, 2 hours earlier than usual. So I had to vacate the common area of the house to let them do their job. They usually show around Noon-1pm, as I am about to go to sleep, or have just done so. (They don't clean my room) So I have no idea how long it takes them to do their thing. I may not get my cardio in today, or maybe I'll just get up early & do it tonight before work for a change. We'll see.
