A little change...

I figured, after this past week, that it might be better to do a weekly summary, rather than a daily entry...
Week ending 8/18/2012

This past week, I consumed an average of 2333 calories a day, with an average 368 grams of carbohydrates, 99 grams of protein, and 61 grams of fat. According to the website I use, my carbs were slightly higher than I need to be consuming by about 2 grams. I need to be consuming more protein, adding an additional 35 to 60 grams of protein, and reducing my fat intake by at least 16 grams. I'm thinking the best way to accomplish this is by eating more fat-free yogurt, particularly greek yogurt.

I only worked out 3 days this past week, and my shoulder's been sore since Tuesday. I use the elliptical machine at Planet Fitness for 30 minutes every day that I work out, and this past week, I averaged 2.52 miles a day on the elliptical.

For resistance training, I did workouts focusing on my legs, abdominals, chest, shoulders, chest, biceps, and triceps, in addition to a 6 minute circuit one day. I burned an average of 930 calories per workout. Normally I would increase the weight I use by 5 pounds each week, but I think this week I will keep the weight where it is.

Between diet and exercise, I was able to go from 270 on 8/13 to 264 on 8/19.
