Action Phase - Day 1

I went to the gym today and was overwhelmed by the number of thin women there working out; I was the fattest one there.

I used the Precor Adaptive Motion Trainer (AMT) because it simulates running without the impact.  I selected the weight loss option and it set me up at 28 minutes on a level 1-4.  My legs were burning and I was breathing heavy at the 30 second mark - how embarrassing!  My hear range stayed in the 170s-190s - well over my target heart rate and max heart rate.  But I made it all 28 minutes plus a 5 minute cool down and in the end, I burned 340 kcals.

I also used the Concept 2 rower to row 500 meters, the Gravitron to do 3 sets of dips/pull-ups with 150 pounds of assistance, and the chest press at 45 pounds.  It's amazing how weak my body became the past two years.

Sleep:  7 hours

Max heart rate (220-age) = 186
High Intensity 80-90% MHR = 158 - 167

=============================================

CARDIO:  28+5 on AMT, 3 min rower

STRENGTH:  pullups, dips, press

FLEXIBILITY


=============================================



AM SNACK:  honeycrisp apple - yum!   24oz water

BREAKFAST:   3 eggs, grapes

LUNCH: skipped - napping

SNACK:   frozen grapes, 16oz water

DINNER:  rope vieja, cilantro lime rice, 16oz water


=============================================

Physical:  acne, headache (worse today), fatigue (napped 1-4)

Good mood but so exhausted I feel drugged and the headache is horrible.  But I stood on the scale before bed and I saw a digit in the hundreds place I'd never seen before.  200.0 pounds.  I'm feeling a little deflated and scared.  Every time I diet/exercise I end up gaining weight.  I'm scared I will balloon up again.  How on earth have I gained so much!
