Day 5 of Weight Loss Journey

Hello Everyone!

I have a surprise!!!!! I'm still fat! As my weight loss journey continues, I am getting used to eating healthier and it's not so bad. This morning, I ate a chocolate chip muffin with some coffee! It's not the healthiest breakfast I've ever eaten but, it's better than most breakfast I've ate. For lunch, I had some Sushi (california roll) with water! After, I went to the gym and did a bicep workout. I started off with some pull ups although I felt like I was pulling the bar down! I could only do 8 but, that's as good as I expected! I moved on to the preacher curl bar and did 3 sets, 10 reps with a about 80 pounds, a weight I felt comfortable with! Also, I did dumbbell curls with 40 lbs in each hand for 3 sets of 10 with 40lbs. That concluded my weights then I moved on to the StairMaster on the easiest level for 30 min! I wasn't to hungry when I came home so I ate a Chicken Cesar Salad, no dressing and sparse croutons with a diet coke. I weighed 278.0. Oh yeah!!!!!
