Day Three, Workout #2

Day three, the day I fully expected to be most sore; second morning after initial workout. Honestly though, not so bad. Quads and lower back were still sore but not much more than day two. My lats and arms were sore, however, which was new.

Still a bit tired and I still blame the dogs for it. Had the same breakfast; 1/2 cup of breakfast, 1/2 cup of milk, and a pot of coffee :)

Overall eating I am still tracking around 1500-1600 cals per day with about 100 grams of protein.

Today was the first test of being outside the norm. I was meeting colleagues for lunch at Togos. I was thinking, crap, do I bring in my own food? What do I do? I decided to figure it out within my bounds but with their offerings. I went through their nutrition and found that I could do a small soup and half sando. It was good, filling and only 500 cals and had 23 grams of protein. Success!

Now, today's workout. IT WAS HARD!

Workout two, sore, tired, adjusting...no couch, chips, beers!

It was tough, It kicked my butt a bit. Half way through Anthony looks at me and says; "welcome to Project 42". I knew then it was on. It was hard because of two things I think. 1. I was sore and 2. Anthony worked me harder...duh huh.

Funny too while working out on the Leland track they were preparing for a girls varsity soccer game on the turf inside the track, warm ups, fans in the stands, announcers on the PA...everyone there looking at ME! Well maybe not but certainly as I am sucking wind it feels like that. It was easy to dismiss, however, because I'd look in the stands at a big fat guy sitting there and say to myself; "I am so much better than you!"

Time to relax, maybe hottub, and get some rest. I'll post weekly weigh-ins each Monday.

Night!

  1. I was at the track too. I wasn't really watching the game but as I came around for one of my laps, a girl scored and the stands erupted in applause. Naturally, I thought it was for me...not. But it was still funny.
