Okay. I couldn't help it. I gave in and finally ate something I wasn't supposed to. Man, this dieting thing is harder than I thought. If anyone out there has some tips on dieting, I'm all for it. Send in your comments =)

Meal 1: Coffee. Turkey Sandwich.

I conducted an experiment involving the elliptical today. I wanted to see if I'd get the same results during about a 10 min run, in terms of heart rate and calories lost, if I ran at a slower speed. The key here, is that the Elliptical adjusts its resistance to retain my HR. Suprisingly, I actually did get the same results, and I ended up just as winded as if I was running at full pace.

I felt bad about not following my dietary plans today, so I worked extra hard during my second workout to make myself feel better. I completely punished my arms and shoulders today *groan* (low weights, but keep in mind I haven't been to the gym in years)
