Fat Loss: Week Two, Day One

Today I was way under on calories, but not by any conscious choice. My work really consumed me as I was caught up in some major troubleshooting, so time just got away from me. When I get busy like that I tend to get so focused that I forget about eating and don't get hungry.

Consequently when dinner time arrived and I had eaten so little during the day, I decided I could splurge and have a beer. Smile BTW, the cheeseburger I had for dinner was homemade by my wife with lean meat on a whole grain bun.

As far as working out, I'm still taking the conservative approach, but I'm increasing the exercise level this week. Remember, I'm really ramping up slowly due to my back condition.

Today's workout log:

- 10 cat/camels, 10 lunges, 10 crunches, 1 20 secon side bridge, 5 leg extensions. These were all for back strength.
