Bringin’ It 80 days and counting…

3-24-10


The energy comes and goes. Today (although my eyes tell me I’m tired – coffee hasn’t hit in), I have a little pep in my step. The past couple of days I have had total body fatigue, but today (although I’m pretty sore) I feel good. Looking back on my easy 2 mile run yesterday at lunch, I’m pretty happy with it. It’s spring break for the kids around here and he office is pretty empty, so I don’t worry too much about being a little “post runny” for the rest of the afternoon.

Today was back and biceps. I like this workout because it’s hard but I’m able to move on after it’s all over. I’m getting a lot stronger. My one complaint about this workout is that my hands hurt. I have calluses and they are all sore.

My shirts are fitting differently. I’m not exactly sure what the cause is, but it’s either my shoulders or my back. All my workout shirts are getting smaller. That’s kind of fun.

I mentioned yesterday that I was thinking about losing a couple pounds in the last two weeks of this journey. I did pretty well on the diet yesterday and I’m actually lighter than I’ve been in quite some time (176 this morning – not sure if this is a real weight or just some water). Now, to those reading this, I understand I go out and I drink too much and too often. That being said, this program has forced me to cut back and has taught me a lot about moderation. The only “sin” on my diet yesterday was a couple of drinks out with friends last night. I am calling this out specifically as I believe you can get great results even if you splurge every now and then. You don’t have to be a shut-in to make this program work. Now don’t get me wrong. You follow the diet plan to a tee and shut yourself in for 90 days… I’m sure you will have no complaints.

I have decided that I won’t take any time off after the 90 days. My plan as of today is to just start back on day 1, but I continue to toy with the idea of doing Insanity. I don’t know… I’ll keep you posted.
