Typical Sunday in that normalizing diet and eating times is especially rough on the weekends.
Up around 8.� Did the 40 minute sweat and abs routine and then had a breakfast of 4 egg whites.� Went out for a 25 mile bike ride on the trail and mid ride stopped and had a 30 gram protein bar and a bottle of iced star bucks coffee.� Killed a 20 oz bottle of water on the return trip.� While I still struggle with parts of the workout and it winds me at points I'm feeling the difference in my lats, arms and shoulders.� The slow and frustrating part will definitely be waiting for the layer of fat to burn away to reveal the muscle I'm building.� From progress pictures I've seen at beachbody.com it would seem that begins to become visible starting around the 60 day mark so I've still got about 7 weeks to go.� Since I'm out of town two days next week and my eating/exercise will not be on task I'll not be counting those two days in this chronology.
Slept a bit later than usual but still got the workout and breakfast in before heading to work.
Strength training day is still the tougher of the two days for me as I'm continuing to find myself weak in the pushup department.� I'm unable to do all of them and in some cases even when wimping out to the "girly" pushups.� Am figuring the strength will return in time.� If I'm still struggling after another two weeks I'll be sure to work on pushups in the evening as well to build up my strength.
Made the mistake a couple days back on getting on the scale and found myself back at 214 again.� I'm thinking at this point the scale is more a discouragement and a distraction than a gauge of success.� I'm eating what I should, feeling firmer though neither the scale or the mirror are as yet my friends in this department.� Persistence is the only thing that will help me to win out in the end.
same as per usual.�
Strength workout.� Still struggling through the pushups.
Second consecutive day of no biking due to rain.
The sweat and abs routine this morning.� Continuing to see my weaknesses.� Simple repetitive motions like raising hands up above head and down again quickly wear me down.� Seeing how weak I am in some respects I'm glad I didn't put off starting this program any longer than I did.
Strength excercises in the a.m.� Still finding myself quite deficient on pushups.� May need to do extra in the evening to do more to build up my strength.
Enjoying a day off of exercise.� Been on the move all day so my eating has not exactly been consistent.� Going to review the Michael Thurmond materials to get some ideas on how to enhance the diet aspect of things.
up late had breakfast around 10 and snacked at Costco on free samples.� Toughest day to normalize schedule are weekends.� Finally got around to my exercise about 3:30.� Just out of shower and haven't had any other food so far and only liquid has been two cups of coffee.� Going to go eat a few egg whites and some celery before heading out with the wife.
Got on scale after shower and weight is down to 212.2
The usual with regard to both food and exercise with the exception of an additional 3 miles at lunch time.
