Rough Week

Well, I wish I could say that this week is turning out as good as last week, but I can't. It's been a little bit of a rougher road than I was expecting. I took the weekend off so I could rest, which was probably a smart idea. You sure don't want to overdo it the first 2 weeks, but having days off end up having an ill response from my mind. One way or another, my mind starts to justify another day off as common, since I had two days off before. Luckily I have caught myself before the week got away from me. I did a shorter version of my fight training Tuesday morning, and meant to do it again this morning, but slept an extra hour. Now, I have to fit it in tonight. Although I don't mind working out at night, it does come at a loss to family time. That was the whole point of hitting my workouts early in the morning. I will get back on track and make this week worth my while.

From here on out, I will work out 6 days a week, and take Sunday off to rest. Sarah and I have been sticking to our breakfast which I can feel that I have lost a little bit of weight. Time to be positive and step up to the plate and get this week done. No time for rest now. This will end up being a short post today, since I need to get back to work. I will have a better post in the coming days. Let's just get it done. No excuse, No looking back!!

Project Resurrection is in top gear

The Week That Was!

Yeah, I know, I stole that title from somewhere else. So sue me!! I completed the first week of Rushfit, and have felt great. I only did 5 days worth, and skipped the weekend balance workout. I did to a little running and playing Frisbee on Sunday with the family, so I definitely got some sweating in. What lessons did I learn from last week?

#1 Having daily check in's with someone you respect sure makes you jump up in the morning.
#2 Getting up at 4am isn't as bad as it sounds.
#3 Working out that early, gives me much needed family time after work.
#4 I can actually do this with every once of effort I can muster.

I start my second week eating the same breakfast as last week. I've gotten use to it now, and actually look forward to it. I haven't lost much in the weight department, but I'm sure it will start coming off now that I am in week 2. This weeks workouts are a lot more cardio based, so I should start to see it more. I have fight conditioning tonight, then cardio in the morning, followed by stretching and flexibility in the evening. The next few days will be tough with a couple of 2-a-days, but nothing that is not doable.

On a side note, I was talking to Gary last week, and we working on signing up for Tough Mudder in October 2013, and he wanted me to go ahead and sign up for the Austin one in April. I didn't expect to complete 2 next year, but why not. If I am set on meeting my goals. Its the only way. Stay tuned for more.


I will not stop until I reach my goal!!
