Diary Of A Mad Fat Man: So this week, I started lifting...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 226.8 lbs
Goal Weight: 175 lbs
Pounds to Lose: 51.8 lbs

So this week, I started lifting. I altered my plan quite a bit from what I proposed last week. Nothing ever happens the way you plan. I also tried running but my lower back and ankle were giving me problems so I decided to keep walking just at a faster pace.

So this was the proposed plan:

SUNDAY

3-Mile walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
MONDAY

1-Mile Run (7 mph @ 0% incline)

Lat Pulldown (5 sets x 5 reps)

High Row (5 sets x 5 reps)
TUESDAY

3-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
WEDNESDAY

1-Mile Run (7 mph @ 0% incline)

Leg Extension (5 sets x 5 reps)

Hamstring Curl (5 sets x 5 reps)
THURSDAY

3-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)

FRIDAY

1-Mile Run (7 mph @ 0% incline)

Chest Press (5 sets x 5 reps)

Incline Press (5 sets x 5 reps)

Shoulder Press (5 sets x 5 reps)
SATURDAY
3-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)

But this is what I actually did::

SUNDAY
3-Mile Walk (4.3 mph @ 5% incline)
MONDAY
1.95-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 0% incline)
Lat Pulldown (20 sets x 5 reps @ 48 lbs)
High Row (20 sets x 5 reps @ 48 lbs)
TUESDAY
1.5-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
Leg Extension (10 sets x 5 reps @ 75 lbs)
Hamstring Curl (10 sets x 5 reps @ 44 lbs)
WEDNESDAY
1.5-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
Chest Press  (5 sets x 5 reps @ 41 lbs)
Incline Press  (5 sets x 5 reps @ 41 lbs)
Shoulder Press  (5 sets x 5 reps @ 61 lbs)
THURSDAY
1.5-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
Leg Extension (10 sets x 5 reps @ 75 lbs)
Hamstring Curl (10 sets x 5 reps @ 76 lbs)
FRIDAY
1.5-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
Lat Pulldown (20 sets x 5 reps @ 87 lbs)
Lat Pulldown (20 sets x 5 reps @ 113 lbs)
High Row (20 sets x 5 reps @ 87 lbs)
High Row (20 sets x 5 reps @ 113 lbs)
SATURDAY
3-Mile Walk (4 mph @ 5% incline)

This is my new proposed plan for the next two weeks:

SUNDAY
3-Mile Walk (4 mph @ 5% incline)
MONDAY
1.5-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
Lat Pulldown (10 sets x 5 reps @ 87 lbs)

TUESDAY

Hamstring Curl (10 sets x 5 reps @ 76 lbs)
WEDNESDAY
1.5-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
Chest Press (5 sets x 5 reps @ 61 lbs)
Incline Press (5 sets x 5 reps @ 61 lbs)
Shoulder Press (5 sets x 5 reps @ 61 lbs)
THURSDAY
1.5-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
Leg Extensions (10 sets x 5 reps @ 75 lbs)
Hamstring Curls (10 sets x 5 reps @ 76 lbs)
FRIDAY
1.5-Mile Walk (5 mph @ 5% incline)
Lat Pulldown (10 sets x 5 reps @ 87 lbs)
High Row (10 sets x 5 reps @ 87 lbs)
SATURDAY
