Some movement on the dial...

Weight: 247 (-2, -5 total)

I've had a good week. I haven't been able to take advantage of all of the diet suggestions as I have several food allergies and general disdain for some of the foods that the trainer suggested. But I have a good knowledge of the things that I can eat to help me lose weight. I'm researching alternatives and modifying his suggestions a bit.

I had a great week of exercise since meeting with the trainer. I played basketball one day, and did two other days of cardio and weight training. The weight training has taken some getting used to. I'm pretty sore, especially my arms, but - and it just might be my imagination - I am already feeling "different." I'm excited about this and looking forward to going to the gym more this week. I've done work on my chest, my arms, legs, and abs. I need to do something to strengthen my back a bit though. My left knee has really been bothering me lately though. I'm working on the assumption it's just some mild tendinitis. I'm not worried about it at this point, but it is something I'm going to keep an eye on.

We went to the grocery store yesterday and bought some good foods. As most of you know, we have a tendency to eat out more than we should. Well, we spent our money at the grocery store on healthy foods, so going out won't be in the budget for the next few weeks. We're actively taking meal suggestions if anyone has any for us.

That's it for now. I'm feeling good, and I'm feeling motivated. Goals for the early part of this week: keep writing my food down, two days of cardio, and one day of weight training. Next post Wednesday.
