diet is already working

Weight: 167.9
Yesterday Cardio: 950 Calories
Yesterday Food: 936 Calories

I usually weigh between 160 and 165 pounds, but I was able to get up to 173 pounds for my weigh in by drinking a ton of water. By this morning I was back down to 167 pounds so most of that left fairly quickly. I was planning on hitting the gym last night, but Jen didn't want to go so I just stayed home.

So far the diet is no too bad. I am a little hungry and have some cravings, but I am determined to win. The grand prize is $540, so there is quite a bit of determination to win. That will buy a lot of wings, beer and pizza when I am done with this thing. I am hoping to be down to 163 by the time I hit Boston. I was able to get a hotel with a gym, so Jen and I will be working out to offset the huge amounts of pasta that I am going to be eating.

I went to the gym this morning and did 50 minutes of cardio and I am planning on doing an hour on the bike during lunch and then hit the gym again after dinner to do some more cardio and lift some weights. I am going to try and keep the weight high rep/low weight in order to maintain my muscle mass.
