How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Monday, August 13, 2007

Wow. The past two mornings I've been 168 pounds when I got up. For those of you who've been counting, that's TEN pounds up from my lowest, 158. It's far beyond time to crack down.

Rather than going on metabolic adjustment on my diet plan, I'm back to the beginning. Three protein days in a row, 6 protein meals per day. In addition, I'm adding daily cardio before the workouts. So...

Today's workout:

Cardio: 30-minute jog

Warmup, 3 sets of 5 w/45lb bar
* Overhead squat
* Squat
* Good morning
* Lunge
* Romanian deadlift
* Bent-over row

Workout:
Snatch-Grip Deadlift, 125lbs, 5 sets of 6
Push Press, 80 lbs, 5 sets of 6

Let's get these 10 pounds off and then some.
