Back and back to it

1 week of no weights.
1 week of no exercise
1 week of eating horribly

awesome.

But, I'm back to it starting today. My 10-day weight is wrong, so I'm blanking it until I have a new average. I have 3 days reported since being back, so next Monday I'll update my 10-day.

Just to be clear

Just to be clear on the benchpress stat. That's not my 1-rep max. That's the weight I do my sets at. So that 125 is what I lift when I do my routine, which is:
1 set of 12 reps
1 set of 10 reps
1 set of 8 reps
1 set of 6 reps

Without a spotter, I'm not going to try to figure out my 1-rep max.

Just thought I should clarify that.

Tokens for Toys!!!!

I have a new program!

OK... so I like toys. Knives, video games, etc...and I'm always looking for ways to push myself on this weight loss quest. Enter TOKENS FOR TOYS! A token is worth $2 towards a toy. I get a token whenever I make a good health decision. So if I do Subway for lunch instead of Taco Bell, I get a token. If I go for a run, I get a token. If I go lift at the gym I get a token. I save up tokens at $2 a pop to buy toys.

I think it sounds like fun. It will A) force me to eat better and workout more and B) stem the flow of me buying toys.

Cathy let me buy on credit but I have to do it sparingly. Like, I can't buy another knife while I'm still paying for the first. That sort of thing. The exception is if I find an awesome deal on something I'll most likely buy later anyway. I'm allowed to take advantage of the deal and use more credit.
