M83MATT’s BodyBlog

Well it’s Saturday afternoon and I am here blogging with one hand.  I woke up Friday morning at 5:00 am had a great upper body workout.  Went to work and around 10:00am got my right index finger caught up in a router.  It’s pretty amazing I didn’t even feel the router bit bite my finger.  I felt a thud against my finger and when the warm blood sprayed across my face and safety glasses.  That’s when I knew I was in trouble!  There was so much blood I thought that it had taken the finger off at the first knuckle.  But thankfuly it only rolled the meat out turning it into hamburger.  My doctor had to remove some of the loose tissue and then sewed it shut.  My finger has been throbbing  and burning ever since.  So I woke up this morning pretty bummed worring about my workouts but ya know what I decided screw it and I jumped on the elipticle and put in a hard 30 min.  The pain was pretty strong  but I felt a major rush going for it.  My endorphins must have been multiplied with the combination of pain and the adrenaline, I felt indestructable.  I’m going to push it even farther tomarrow, then Monday is my leg day, Tuesday is cardio and then Wed. will be upper body so that will be the real test.  Until then, anybody reading this, Have a great week and work hard.     

Well here’s my 2nd blog.  I’ve been staying real consistant with my workouts and diet.  But the weight seems to be dropping about as fast as a snail.  After completing my first 2 weeks on the south beach cleansing I am now following Body for Life.  It’s kind of wild the first time that I tried South Beach I dropped 15 lbs in the first 2 weeks. I felt terrible and could not even begin to work out.  This time I worked out every day and drank 1 gallon of water a day, so I  am assuming that the 15 lbs was all water loss.  This time the weight is dropping much slower  but I am staying positive.  I did not gain my weight overnight so healthy weight loss should be slower.
