well this is a day late but certainly not a dollar short.
Sunday I was struggling to get up stairs and was thinking to myself how the hell am I going to do a lower body workout when I can’t even take the garbage up the stairs. But my body woke up monday morning as to say, "it’s leg day, I’m ready!" and boy was he
Hit the gym and here’s how it went
Quads
Squat (no bar wieght added) 12 @ 90, 10 @ 100, 8 @ 110, 6 @ 120, 12 @ 100
Leg Ext 12 @ 95
Hams
Straight Leg Dead lift 12 @ 90, 20 @ 100, 8 @ 110, 6 @ 120, 12 @ 100
Lunge 12 @ 25
Calfs
Seated Calf Raise 12 @ 115, 10 @ 120, 8 @ 125, 6 @ 125 ( iquit after this to go catch my 2 year old daughter take her first swim lesson down the hall at the pool. She was terriffied but did it, and I’m very proud)
I think this was a great work out as I really felt the burn but kept it up finishing every set. Try to compare weights from previous workout and just move slightly ahead every time. Rome wasn’t built in a day and I promise you I’ll catch up to some of you big guys out there.
The lower body workouts are showing becuase my boxer briefs are feeling much tighter, and I know other parts of me that are house in the underwear aren’t getting bigger!!!
The menu was much of the same, although I need to keep up on the daily blog because it’s easy to forget if you don’t write it down. But don’t worry I know I didn’t "F" up!
Later dayz

Well, really excited about this workout as my maiden voyage into a hard bod. If any of you out the their blog on here you now and now I know how this can really motivate you to do a little more than you typically would. I would feel like crap if I lied and said I did the set or reps and didn’t. This blog keeps ya honest cause the whole world is reading- well not the whole word, probably just two or three of you.
Ended the night by helping the wife put together her workout in the gym then a soak in the hot tub.

present Well we just decided to bite the bullet and start today instead of tomorrow. The new years eve party was fun and although the food was good (lots of dips, rolls, and way to much booze) we were anxious to get the ball rolling on our new life.
Waking up a little hung over and staying up way too late didn’t help. We actually started our new program at noon. todays meals consisted of:
noon- Lean turkey wrap with spinach, 2% cheese, no fat mayo and hot sauce
3- no fat no sugar chocolate puddding (she had tapioca)
5- grilled chicken breast on top of spinach salad and steamed asparagus
7 berry vanilla whey protein shake
10 glasses of water and a multi-vitamin
The eating went just swell and it was so rewarding to cook together and realize we are putting good stuff into our bodies to get to our physical goals and lead a healthy life for our daughters.
WORKOUT
We started today with a cardio workout on the treadmill.
then a set of 25 crunches, 25 left and right side crunches and 25 reverse crunches
then a set of 10 of each again. Hopefully will get to a better ab workout, but Rome wasn’t built in a day ( and neither was a roman gladiator’s body)
tomorrow is a full day of the new eating lifestyle and cardio again as MWF is lifting days
