Day Nine - Thursday April 19, 2007

I woke up today feeling ready to go back to sleep. But against all odds and in the face of danger, I persevered. I weighed myself, as I do every day, but today the scale said: 232
232!! That's eight pounds in just eight days. I realized that if I keep up this pace, I will actually disappear in 232 more days. Incredible!

On a mental high, I went straight to the gym.

I trained arms:
Dumbbell Curls: 25x12,35x10,45x8,55x4
One arm extensions: 15x15, 20x15, 25x15, 30x15 supersetted with tricep kickbacks
Preacher Curls: 65x10x8x5
Tricep Pushdowns

Then I did 35 minutes of cardio and some ab work.

Then I went home and ate some chicken meatloaf with almonds.

I picked up some lean hamburger meat on sale last night at the grocery so I made cheeseburgers for dinner. I ate a couple Batampte Half-Sour pickles with my burgers. If you've never had these pickles, I highly recommend them. They're about $2.99 to $3.99 a bottle in your refrigerated section of your grocery.

I can't eat burgers without buns, but I figured I could use some carbs.

I heard we picked up MHP as a sponsor for the Body Transformation. That's cool. Gerard and Rob Dente are nice guys, they're Jersey guys, and their products taste good.
