Daily Weigh In: 195.4 ![:\](/images/charts/same.gif ":\"){kind=small}
As mentioned yesterday each AM I'll post my weight for the WWW (whole wide world) right @ the top so no need to scroll to find it and I'll chit chat about whatever is topmost on my mind. @ the end of the day, I'll update food and workouts in the same post. Both will keep me accountable. This is my unofficial 6 week challenge, which is really a 4 week month long July challenge, but I started yesterday, which'll make it 5 weeks and no one has a 5 week challenge so I tacked on another week @ the end. Follow?
I won't do a Day 1 or Day 25 type title b/c psychologically when I hit a certain # I get fatigued, instead, I'll count backwards, going up to day 38 seems like a chore, working down to day 1 seems victorious. Don't ask.
But, I also won't do it everyday either, only when I'm out of witty titles, will I post "25 days to go" or "11 days to go".
As for the pudge pics, they'll get updated nightly, I think that's how I did it before, plus I'm pressed for time in the AM now that my gym commute is no longer a 4 min walk but a 5 min drive. And I'm thinking, during the day, if I have any upcoming or pending dramas, the nightly podcast will pick up where I left off and tie up any loose ends. Like say, I'm doing battle w/a butterfinger crisp, sometimes I forget to update the end result, in addition to posting every morsel I ate for the day so you'll read if I did eat it (which I totally wont!), the podcast will provide that info…and more *shameful plug* 
I also do very good w/checklists so for the next 6 weeks here's my to do's, later tonight, I'll post a chart @ the top of the site to track the following:
Training:
- weigh in daily
- 60 mins AM cardio 5 days a week
- 60 mins PM cardio 4 days a week
- 15 mins weights 6 days a week
- Jump rope 25 reps per day, add 25 each week
- 2-3 hours outdoor cardio over the entire weekend
Nutrition:
- 1500-1800 calories daily!
- No processed, refined, carbs
- No soda or juices
- No candy, cookies, chips
- 1 gallon of water daily!
- Take vitamins and supplements daily
- Eat 5-6 meals every 2-3 hours
- Aim for 40/40/20 (pro/carb/fat)
So let's take a gander @ how yesterday went

All month long I periodically posted my game plan and it may have appeared that every few days I had something else up my sleeve, but I was mainly talking out loud putting things in place so when things settled down, by the end of June, first of July, I laid all the groundwork. Posting my eating and work out plan earlier, were broad strokes that this week I'll continue to fine tune into something doable for the month of July.
And now, that I've not only finally gotten back online @ the abode, but my DSL line is no longer being hogged, I can go back to the regularly scheduled pgm around here. This Friday is a featured food, summer edition and I have a book review to post on Thursday.
Can you tell I'm excited again *squeals*
