Six pack abs: Week 3, Day 1

The website:
http://www.iwantsixpackabs.com - this page is mostly a sales pitch & email list signup
http://www.iwantsixpackabs.com/abs.html - this is the meat & potatoes

Weekly Weigh-ins
Week 1, Day 1: 162 lbs  (original weight)
Week 2, Day 1: 161 lbs 
Week 3, Day 1: 159.5 lbs

For weeks 1 and 2 resistance training was body weight only. This week a resistance band is required for added intensity. Last week I mostly went surfing for my cardio training. I also played tennis.  I did interval sprinting once in week 1 but then finished the week with tennis. And somewhere in there I went hiking.

Mid last week I discovered www.thedailyplate.com. This site is fantastic for tracking calories. It's got nutrition info for just about any specific food by brand/restaurant or whatever. It has support groups to keep you motivated. You can search a huge list of activities for info on calories burned. And there are still more features. Anyway, I used it for about 3 days before I got tired of logging everything I eat or drink. But it did give me a good snapshot of my eating habits. On average, I consume about 1600 calories a day. And I can still use the site in the future for looking up strange foods.
