Day One
Okay, so this morning I was at the gym at 5:30 am. It wasn’t that difficult getting there as I have always been a morning person, but it was a little hard to squeeze my full workout in the time I had. May have to get there earlier tomorrow! Anyways, I did 25 minutes of cardio (walking) alternating the incline from %0 grade to %5 grade in 2 minute intervals. It’s kind of sad that I was in my target heart range without running a single step. I guess that’s what happens when you live at Wendy’s and Krispy Kreme… what was I thinking.
Today was upper body day and for whatever reason I love upper body day! I think it has to do with feeling the soreness for the whole day, being that I use those muscles the most for day to day activities. It’s kind of like a constant reminder throughout the day that I did what I was suppose to do! The workout went well, I pushed myself pretty hard and got my sets to failure within the 6-8 rep range. As I stated earlier though, I will need to get to the gym a few minutes earlier for adequate time without rushing.
Nutrition is going to be the hardest thing of all for me. I don’t necessarily have a sweet tooth or unhealty cravings. I do have a very busy schedule which makes it all too tempting to pull into a fast food places and kill myself quickly! I am currently looking for anything quick and easy that will help me achieve my goals, which isn’t easy. I’ll let everyone know if I find anything worth mentioning.
So, that’s day one! We’ll see how this goes and how my goals come along. Hope everyone is having as much fun as I am. I’ll have some photos to post soon, so get ready to be emotionally scarred, it ain’t pretty. I can’t wait to see what’s waiting for me under all this flab and I’m sure my girlfriend can’t wait either! God Bless!
