I signed up at the gym in town here yesterday and put 30min on the elliptical.  I’ve also adjusted what I eat back to where it needs to be on the quest to drop a ton.  I’ve expanded quite a bit and need to get things back under control.  The plan is to hit this week with cardio, and next week work in weight training.  I’m going to do an hour of cardio each day and work one muscle group per day.  I’ve got five workouts lined up so that works doing the school week.  I’m not really sweating hitting the gym on the weekend, just going to maintain the adjusted “diet”.  Down the line I’m going to have to look at surgery to fix up my left knee.  I don’t see how it’s going to be possible for me to go through with the surgery without losing quite a bit of weight.

I liked the progress I was making back when I was working out like it was a religion…but it took up far too much time and I developed other interests.  On the farmstead, for whatever reason, I don’t feel like things are in such a rush.  I have time to hit the gym for 1.5hrs or so after work and don’t feel like I need to push to get home to do “something”.  Maybe part of that right now is the wife and kid not being up here.  Down the line I’m looking at the possibility of working in weights before work and cardio afterwards.  There is a good weight room and passable ellipticals at the school, but I would rather get a jump start on dropping weight before using the facilities here.  I’m willing to pay the monthly fee to avoid the students.

I’ll post the weight training routine after I’ve run through it completely once or twice.  Given it’s a different muscle group per day, I might have to adjust tuesday’s but Monday’s is fine…etc.  It’s probably better for me to say, “I’ll post the weight routine when I have it setup like I want”.
