day 4…the morning after

well, i’m halfway through week 1. so far i’ve done a chest & back workout, a plyometrics workout, a shoulders & back workout, and two ab workouts. needless to say i’m pretty damned sore, but its a good sore. tonite’s yoga nite. if there’s one thing i could use right now, its 90 minutes of yoga!!

the harder part of the program for me is the nutritional aspect. you see, i’ve got a thing for all things crunchy, bready, sweet, and liquor-flavored. oh, and pizza. i could probably eat pizza seven days a week, three meals a day, and never grow tired of it. i also have a hard time eating on a regular schedule. if things at the gym are hectic, i can’t exactly drop everything to eat (nevermind actually eating something healthy!), so a lot of times dinner either consists of trail mix & cheetos or taco bell, burger king or backyard burger. so far though, that’s going okay too.

bwe & i did all of our grocery shopping for the week on sunday & monday, and i’ve tried to plan my eating at least a day in advance, making sure that i have healthy stuff ready to grab for lunch, dinner & snacks. i’m proud to report that i’ve stayed right on target, except for a couple of handfuls of mint m&m’s, 2 chocolate chip cookies, and a chocolate bon-bon. (what can i say? i like sweets & crunchy things!) i’ve even cut back on my alcohol consumption, and plan on limiting myself to a glass of red wine at nite.

right this second, i’m starting to get hungry, so i’m gonna grab an orange and a handful of almonds to get the fat machine burning again…i’ve lost 2.5 lbs in 3 days and i wanna keep the weight train moving OUT of the station!

i plan on putting a picture up about every two weeks so you guys can see the progress i’m making (and hold me accountable!!).

3.5 days down, 85.5 to go!
