Resolved (?)

Tomorrow is the first day I will be getting up an hour earlier than has been usual, in order to work out before work. Cardio, specifically - I don't think I should be trusted with weights when I'm 3/4 asleep.

I'm still tracking my nutrition and exercise on Spark (just started up again at the beginning of the year, after a two-month absence), but I'm nowhere near as obsessed about playing in every little corner of the website than I was a few months ago.

1000 calories is not a lot to eat in a day, but I'm going to try to stick to that limit Monday through Friday (easier to maintain in the midst of the routine of the weekly grind), and lighten up on the stricture but still stay reasonably well-behaved on the weekends.

Cardio (at least a half-hour) and weights (also at least a half-hour) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Cardio (at least an hour) and abs (as many reps as I can stand) on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Fridays are my day off, dammit. If I can stick to this schedule, I'll deserve the day off.

Thirty pounds to lose by the end of July. That's a reasonable goal, I should think.
