Day 12 - Free Day 2

So I took my second free day on friday because we made plans to go out with some friends. It was a good day and I ate several good meals. I noticed though that when eating my meals, I was unable to eat all of any of them. I have grown accustomed to the smaller meals that I eat on a daily basis, so I get full faster. I think thats a good thing. ;-)

Day 11

I woke up this morning and my calves were killing me from monday's lower body workout. I actually got up in time to workout in the morning, but I decided to give my calves a break and wait till that evening. I ate well and did my cardio when I got home. It was a good workout and I am glad I switched to jogging. I may hate it, but I can tell that it is doing my body a lot of good.

Day 10

So I've been on Body for life for 10 days and I am still happy I started. Even though I didn't wake up in the morning again to workout, I stuck to my diet today. The myoplex bars and shakes make it easy. I am never hungry and I have lots of energy. I have started slacking on drinking water and I can feel it in my muscles. I need to continue to drink my 10 cups a day. I got in a good upper body workout when I got home from work. I about killed myself trying to do my tri workout. I decided I'll lower the weight next time.

Day 09

Again, I woke up feeling entirely not like working out and so I didn't. I resolved that I would go do it as soon as I got home and I did. I cheated a bit on my diet by having a few beers, but other than that, I did pretty well. I learned to substitute one of my planned meals with something out in town that was comparable. All in all I still feel like I am doing pretty well and I have noticed my face getting slimmer.

Day 08

I started working the offshift/oncall schedule for work this week. This always screws me up as far as working out goes. I am on call from 7pm-7am and then have to work a regular schedule from 12pm-7pm. This is a pretty good deal as long as I dont get any calls, but that rarely happens. Plus, I can wake up at 5am with no problem whatsoever, but waking up at 10 to go work out before I go in to work proved to be impossible for me. So, as I have alluded to, I did not wake up before work to go work out, but I did eat right and go work out in the evening.

Day 07

I woke up on the morning of Day 07 and I felt pretty terrible. Apparently going crazy with drinking on my free day was not the best idea. I decided that I would go do my cardio later in the day when I felt better. Sadly that didn't happen. I was pretty bummed that I missed a workout, but at least I stuck to my diet and ate like I should. So, I gave myself credit for that at least. ;-) But I know dieting is not going to be enough to get me back in shape so I resolved not to miss any more days.


For Week 1 I give myself a 9 out of 10 for nutrition/and an 8 out of 10 for exercise
