Hot Point: early results

[avram]

Today is my third day on the Hot Point Fitness plan; actually my second day of working out on it. (Starting out it advocates three days per week of weight routines, of which today will be my second. Later I ramp up to four days per week. There’s an advanced plan for athletes that involves five days per week, but screw that.) I could have gone in to the gym and done aerobics yesterday, but I decided I ached too much.

I’ve been on the nutrition plan too, but not adhering to it strictly. It’s weird — I feel like I’ve been eating more than I have for the past few months, but I seem to be losing weight. Sunday morning I was 286.5, yesterday 285.5, and today 284.5. (I don’t expect that progression to continue, but wouldn’t that be something?)

Egg Beaters egg substitutes aren’t quite as good as real eggs, but they’re close enough that I can make palatable scrambled eggs if I chop in mushrooms and bell peppers, and grind some black pepper on top.

So now I’m killing time waiting for 90 minutes to pass since I ate so I can go to the gym; around noon ought to do it. I also need to call Chris to wish her a happy birthday and arrange to meet later. I’d call now, but I don’t expect her to be awake yet.
