The Cut 08 Continued and My Thoughts on Morning Cardio
Well I’m two months and 22 days into this cut, and things are still going pretty well. I would have liked to see a bit more progress by now, but I’m down 18 pounds (As of August 13, I haven’t weighed in a while…) with no significant change in muscle size or strength. I still don’t have my calipers in, I think they have become lost somewhere in Southwest Asia, but I would guess myself at around 14% BF right now.
I have begun to do morning cardio at 0430 before work, and let me tell you, it sucks! Today was my second day of doing a mile and a half run upon waking, and it has been pure suffering the entire run! But the sense of accomplishment later on makes up for it. My goal is to do 1.5 miles every other day, and eventually work up to 3 miles every other day. It’s funny how much harder the morning run feels than it does in the evening. I can run 1.5 miles NO problem in the evening, but when I do it in the morning it adds a couple of minutes onto the run time - it surprised me how much harder it felt. I think it must be a combination of being tired, dehydrated, and not having my usual preworkout arsenal fueling my system that I do in the evenings. This new addition is bound to jump start my fat loss again, and hopefully by the end of september I’ll be down another 8 or 10 pounds, and a few more BF% points. Slowly but surely!
