Quest for 176.....

Right now I am at my lightest that I have been in 6 years (189, down from a max of 235 after breaking my back).

My goal now is to get down to 176 by August 31. Just like when I had to make a weight for RKC (198, weight loss is easier when you have a goal that is:
* Quantitative
* Time-boxed

I plan on doing this w/o stepping on a stair-climber (or curb climber), sitting on a treadmill, or ellipticalling on an elliptical.

Here are some of my tactics for achieving this goal:
* Clean eating with more vegetables
* Starting every morning with coffee. No coffee after 11 AM
* Split workouts, with 11 workouts per week (yes, I still saw workout, even if I don't try to kill myself during the workout)
* Zig Zag eating (I will have 1 day/week where I eat more than what burn off)
* Weigh myself daily
* Never count calories
* Blog workouts and eating

Yesterday's workout:
Morning (leg day)
* Good Mornings: 135, 225, 275, 315 x 1 x 5; 335, 355, 365 x 1 x 3 (felt good)
* Leg Presses: Up to 11.5 plates per side x 10 (strong and deep)
* Abductors/Adductors: stack x 1 x 40
* Hip Flexors: 3 x 15
* Squats standing on medicine ball

Early Evening:
Alternate 2 DDR songs with 15 Beast swings
* 28 songs of DDR (about 560 calories) and 195 swings

Late Evening:
Bowling (sport league): 148, 180, 188 - sucked

Friday:
* Early morning: Some TGU for videotape
32kg x 7:00; 40kg x 1; 48kg x 1

* Mid Morning (Shoulders)

* Afternoon
- Presses: 24kg x 5; (24kg + 8kg) x 5; (24kg + 12kg) x 1 x 5
- Curls: 80lb, 100lb, 110lb x 1 x 10;
- Max VO2: 24kg x 7 x 12 minutes

Evening:
Swings: 32kg swings x 10 x 8 (10s rest after each set)

Eating was OK, but not enough veggies
