Six pack by summer

Last night was rough. I started to get a headache, and I was very hungry. I’m feeling fine this morning. And while I don’t see a huge difference, the numbers don’t lie
waist: 33.75 (the lowest yet)
weight: 158.6 (I think the lowest)

crazy stuff.
I’ll post a pic a little later on.

UPDATE
I’m sipping water with gatorade in it now. It’s making me feel a little better. I have a whole new respect for body builders. This is hard.

Here’s a pic from 2:15pm

Ok, well that experiment is over. Sodium depletion is one of the worst things I’ve ever tried.
I’m going to start eating normally. Trying to cram at the last minute isn’t the right approach anyway.
As soon as I’m feeling better, I’m going to refocus and decide what I really want and the most satisfying path to get there.
There is no doubt that sodium depletion works – I’m down to 157.8… But wow, does it suck.

Here is one final pic for today.

Here is the picture from day 2 of the sodium depletion.

So far, I’ve had some chicken and water. I’m thinking about having a few cherries for sweetness, but not sure yet.

I also picked up some potassium.

I can already see a change from yesterday – I guess it’s working!

Well, I’m going to follow David’s tips
Today I had:
4 chicken breasts (grilled on the foreman)
almost a gallon of water
a little bit of dark chocolate
1 dried pineapple ring

I also went tanning. Here is just before I went in to tan.

Thanks everyone – let’s see how close I’ll get.

P.S. I’m not into the potassium tablets, I don’t really know how safe they are… should I eat a banana instead, or just skip it?

This is one of the major things I wanted to avoid by having a set goal, but I am totally frozen! With the date fast-approaching, I don’t know what to do. Give up? Work harder? Ignore everything? I’m totally lost.

I took class last night, and I was able to almost keep up on pushups. I am destroyed today though. I really need about 5 more hours of sleep.

Please, tips, advice, anything!

Despite comments to the contrary, I haven’t given up.
I had an awesome weekend in chicago! I learned tons about Ruby on Rails and I can’t wait to start my next project.
On the sixpack front, I brought my workout shoes and pants, but didn’t have anytime to work out (nor did I have any time to really talk to anyone on the phone). I’m right back in it though, I did sit-ups and pushups today and tomorrow It’s gym time!

I’m going to start going over old comments in the next week to figure out who will get how much – I’ll be paypaling you in a few weeks.

I’m leaving for RailsConf in a few hours. I’ll be gone until sunday night (10:30pm).
Everyone is telling me not to stress out about traveling – everything is taken care of. I’ll still freaking out. I’m not packed at all, I haven’t figured out food, I’m still not sure how I’m getting to the airport today.

I am bringing workout clothes!

I was up late working on Tag My again and it took it’s toll. I could not drag myself out of bed this morning, and now I’m all… sleepy.

I’m going to class tonight, and when I tell my sister I missed the gym, she’ll help me make up for it :)

I hope everyone is having a good day!

Update: I didn’t get to class tonight. I forgot that Amy and I haven’t worked out Lucky’s schedule for when I’m going to class :(
I’m heading to rails conf tomorrow, I’ll post details in the morning.

I made chicken this morning. I’m not 100% sure I’ll eat it – but it’s here, so it’s the “easy” option today.

Cardio, pushups all kinds of good stuff this morning, now it’s off to work – there is SO much to get done before I leave thursday.

I’m totally sick of chicken. Can’t stand it at all anymore. I’m really hesatant to change up everything right now – but I can’t stomach the thought of more chicken!
In the plus column – without being strict with my diet lately, I’m still holding steady and am down a little bit – as you can see in my NEW PICTURE.
Sorry it took so long – I was a little out of it for a while :)

Comment on my picture, I’m looking for a little external motivation today.

A few other things:
1) I got a new cameraphone (LGVX9800 – “The V”), so the quality of the photo isn’t great – I need to learn how to use it a little better
2) My railsday project is here: http://myonegoal.com
3) I ran for 40 minutes non-stop today. It was only 4.3mph, but it was non-stop ;) I’d like to add 5 minutes a week up to an hour-long run. After I get to that point, I’ll start speeding it up.

Yesterday I participated in Rails Day. It was an awesome experience, but one that kept my mind off of fitness and eating right. I’m taking a picture later today (with my NEW phone!) and I’ll post it in the morning. I’m gonna try and get some extra sessions of cardio in – I’m leaving for Rails Conf on thursday.
