Weight: 136 lbs. (Can you say water retention?)

6:45 a.m.
No weight training today; steady state cardio on treadmill 40 minutes, then abs 2 sets each: knee ups on bench, standard crunch, bicycles, scissors - 45 seconds for each move (3 minutes each set)

I set an appt to have fitness assessment next Friday with one of the older PTs; however the director (who is some 20 y/o hotshot) called and said he would take care of me, then proceeded to give me the whole spill of PT packages. He was quite surprised when I informed him I only wanted body composition and no training. So we are set for next Sat. Oughta be interesting after the long w/end.

Meal 1: 8:15 am
2 scoops Isopure protein
3 Udo's capsules
1 x-large cup black coffee with pinch of Splenda

Thanks, T-cake! It does feel good to get back into the swing of things. Just keep having to modify so much in order to find a groove. I guess this part of aging sux. The rest of aging is way cool.

Logging is a pretty good way to keep me accountable to myself. So, maybe it will help me eventually achieve my goals.
