Week Five: Baby weight?

What a wild week five; temptations at every turn during the three day weekend to celebrate the blue collar workers. Then a half day at work on Tuesday, which my schedule did not permit a lovely 4500 yard swim. Then I was off the balance of the week, spending my waking and semi-conscious hours at Valley Hospital. I was shocked at how good hospital food can be when our insurance company was picking up the bill... Looove taking them health benefits on a joy ride. Today's workout was a compilation of back/bicep/core because of all the craziness. Also, did I mention, Valerie gave birth to our third child on Wednesday.

All in all this was the least amount of cardio I have done since beginning the journey; 60 minutes in total. When taking into account for my regular swimming workouts (4-5 per week) and my 20 minutes on the treadmill every strength day, I am regularly doing seven to eight hours of cardio per week. I knew Jovi's birth would pose an obstacle for Destination 1995, which could only be managed by the number of calories ingested during each hospital day. Looking over the stats from MyFitnessPal, I consumed roughly 2000-2150 calories during the three days we were their. With that said, my weigh in today came as a surprise; down a pound!

Now that I'm approaching the 20 pound mark, which I expect to be hit by week seven's "20! push ups"... Google what the "!" means if you're not a math tech. People are asking me what I'm doing to lose this weight. It is a simple answer every time; burn more, eat less! Of course the conversation gets more detailed with questions on types of food, calorie counting, work out schedule and mix of exercises. However, in the end, it is very easy... limit the calories of crap sucked down the ole pie hole, get your heart rate rocking for twenty or thirty minutes three or four times a week, and enjoy natures greatest combination -- H2O.
