January 09 Week 2 BeginsI'm about a day late on this progress report. Not too bad. *yawn*
I followed the eating portion of the Body for Life program pretty well. I did probably stretch what was acceptable a bit to get rid of food I had on hand. I didn't want to waste leftovers from my free day so I spread the proteins out over a couple of days.
As far as the exercise part, I did good except for the day I skipped my aerobic workout entirely. I am sore in about half my muscles from the weights I've lifted and miles I've walked/jogged.
This weekend might be hard as Melissa and I go to Laughlin for a couple of days. Monday will definitely be my free day so I don't have to worry about it, but I'll try to stick as close to the program as possible on Sunday and Tuesday while traveling.
Results:
Start = 201
Week 1 = 200 January 08 Week 1 - Exercise Week One is rapidly drawing to a close and I wanted to do a separate entry for exercise so it didn't get lost in whatever happens with my weight when I step on the scale in the morning. I have done well with my exercise this week. I have followed the weight regime almost perfectly (minus one set of squats when I felt like my knee was going to dislocate itself and run away in anger). One thing I definitely need to improve on is my aerobics routine. I did tennis for 90 minutes the first day, hiking for 90 minutes the 2nd and skipped the 3rd entirely. The aerobics I did do is normally fine, but for the program I am on I should be doing a shorter and more intense aerobic workout. I plan to start a better aerobic routine in the morning with my roommate. Our plan is to get up at 7:00 and do a 30 minute routine of walking/jogging around the neighborhood. I hope I actually get up. I have been having the hardest time getting up to do a workout and have to settle for doing one after work.

Body for Life - start Melissa has asked me to do Body for Life with her starting on January 1st, 2009. It is both a guide for working out as well as what to eat and is a 12 week program. I've gotten off to kind of a rocky start, I'm not going to lie. First, I weighed in at 201. Not a happy start to the day. Blah. I also did not do the recommended aerobic workout, but I did play tennis for a couple of hours with friends. I use the term 'play' very loosely, but we were moving around quite a bit. I also ate 3 1/2 meals today out of the 6 I am suppose to eat. I'm just so tired that I didn't want to eat another meal so close to bedtime and it's hard to cram 6 in when you get out of bed at 11:30am. The gist of the program is to eat 6 small meals per day, drink 10 glasses of water, and workout. The workout is either aerobic or weights on alternating days. I also have one 'free' day a week when I can eat anything I want to for 24 hours. Starting weight (Jan 1) = 201 |
