Sunday Sacrafice

I wanted to begin posting my workouts for the day and beginning tomorrow, I will do my best to do so :-)

Sunday OFF DAY

walk around San Fran, lovely!

Nutrition, I'm hungry!

The eating is usually the most difficult part of achieving your goals. I am am not exempt from that group! 5 meals, balanced protein/carbs/fat, but what about when the "urge" comes over you? I've learned to substitute things in for the not so good stuff. For example, honey instead of sugar or pastries when the sweet tooth hits. Veggies & salads instead of sandwiches with refined carbs.

I'm going to start logging my food online in the hopes it helps someone get ideas of things to eat and at the very least, make me face the music twice. On paper and the blog.

With the workouts structured and organized, the food is the only mini battle ahead. It's easy, if you try.

The Board of Fame

So I've had this board in my room for tracking workouts and decided to add in my PR's, in order to focus on what I want to work on for the day/week. Most people gawk when I tell them I have a whiteboard in my bedroom with workouts on it, but they just don't get it. Notice two important things.....1. "Dec 12th" the date of my competition and the first experience of putting my strength on display, and 2. The OFF day. You know how hard it is to take an "OFF" day?? I don't think you do! Damn near impossible!

Start over from the beginning

Ok, geting my ass in gear......we're starting this thing for real! My goal is to strengthen myself by working on my weaknesses for the next month and a half. I've realized some things.....

1. I LOVE sugar
2. I LOVE to lift
3. I LOVE to eat

1. I HATE cardio
2. I HATE failure
3. I HATE burpees

Now that we have that all figured out, here is my plan. Let it help you or not, but here it is. For the next 6 weeks I will make 3 changes; 1) No refined sugars with the exception of once per week (hey, everyone needs a "cheat" day), 2) 1 hour of cardio, 4 days per week, and 3) 3 double workout days per week (will entail strength piece and either spin class, run, or metcon with lift practice incorporated)

Food, good! Strength, good! Consistency, BAD! This will work and the goal to attain is a 10 lb loss by June 25th......it is now in words and will therefore happen. Oh yes, it will be mine!
