Back to Work!

I'm back to a steady regimen as of today. I've reduced my calories back down to 1200 to 1400, although I'm still not low carb again. Today I started back to Day 1 of the Making the Cut circuit training, and as I expected: I'm out of shape in a NASTY way.

Here we go, boys & girls. I'm going to start posting food as well. So today we had:

B: 1 packet weight control oatmeal, 1 banana
S: 1 oz peanuts (pre-workout)
L: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 tbsp fresh pb, 2 tbsp sugar free jam

S: 1/2 cup ice cream, 1 banana
Calories: 1411

09:37 I was going to see a Star Trek matinee but there was no DLP. So I'll take my son at 6:15. #

09:47 I told my wife I was taking my son to see Star Trek at 6:15. She said, "OK, my big boy." She was implying I was a child bc I was taking him. #

11:15 Oh, man. In Marathoning For Mortals, @johnbingham & @coach_jenn say "Sooo". Now I can't read their books anymore. :( #

11:26 I miss Jim Vestal. I'd be seeing Star Trek with him today. #

11:53 RT @joshcoxrun: ...Started easy (6:15 pace) & worked into it, 2:30 faster on the back half. Pure joy. - 6:15 is easy. EASY! hehe #

12:09 Dora's in space, fine, suspension of disbelief. But Swiper using his own ship to take what she has? Dora the Explorer's jumped the shark. #

16:23 This guy singing the national anthem at a NASCAR race looks like Dennis from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. #

16:38 I REALLY want to see Moon. #

16:52 Watching Psych. #

17:18 OK guys, off to the movie theater. I'll tweet some from there. :) #

18:08 Sitting in the theater, watching a plethora of ads, waiting for Star Trek to start. Where are the sci-fi trailers? #

21:45 I'm back, and in full fanboy mode! Loved Star Trek! #
