Again I went to the gym at lunch. I did 100 stories on the stairmaster, which took me about 27 minutes. I think it was just around 500 calories. Then I did a bunch of situps on the large inflatable ball.

Workout:
got to the gym at lunch. Did a hill program on the stairmaster for a little over 30 minutes. I know I climbed over 100 stories, maybe in the 120 range. I think the machine said I burned about 550 calories.

I then did my usual shoulder, chest and bicep routine for about 10 minutes.

So over the last year, I pretty much lost it all. My weight has gone back up to around 250. I haven't been going to the gym nearly as much as I should have, though I have started to get back on track with that. My eating habits have been shot as well. This is my attempt to get back to where I was.

According to my co-worker, I have to eat 36 points a day (weight watcher points)

Tuesday, September 2
Breakfast:
1 Banana (1.5 pt)
1 Peach (1 pt)

Lunch:
large spiced salmon filet, no sauce (9 pt)
1 cup of cooked broccli

Dinner:
Nature valley peanut butter granolla bar (4 pt)
large salad
blue cheese dressing (6 pt)
1 packet (2 servings) ramen (8 pt)

So I ate 29.5 points. Of course, this is all an estimate, but hopefully it will make me actually examine what I am eating.
