Challenge 2, Day 24

Ok...I haven't posted in nearly a week, my bad. I've been a little busy at work (for a change) and at home (2 dead computers I am trying to revive....one down, one to go).

Week 3 Summary:

• I got my workouts in on Mon, Tues, Wed & Friday with additional cardio on Tuesday. I had to cut short my workout on Wednesday because I was running late.
• I need to do better on my nutrition though. I had several days in which I slid on a meal or snacked bad
• My goals for Week 4 are: (1) Make all workouts on all 6 days this week. (2) Workout on my NordicTrack to replace HIIT on Thursday since I can't get to the gym (wife is working & I've got to head to the western part of the state so no HIIT at lunch). (3) Keep a detailed log of what I eat so I can better examine my nutrition. (4) Limit my after work "bad" snacks while I am cooking dinner (probably my biggest problem area with nutrition). (5) BE POSITIVE!

Monday (Day 22)
I got in my LBWO. I was running late (again) so I skipped my calves but I did my ab work on a yoga ball. WOW! I could really feel the burn while doing crunches on those. Everything else was good. I did ok on keeping the bad snacks to a minimum at home while cooking dinner.

Tuesday (Day 23)
Did not get my HIIT in. I woke up too late to do anything before work and wound up having lunch with a friend. Ate at Larry's Pizza and had too much as usual when I eat there. Did have sushi for dinner to try to compensate but then my SIL's new boyfriend brought me a really good german beer which probably had 400 calories in it so oh well....

Today
Started the day off with a 1.8 mile run around the neighborhood. I ran it in 22:24 which is close to my normal time. On a cool note, I came across Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee out for a run this morning as well (I live about 2 blocks from the governor's mansion). He lost over a 100 pounds about 2 years ago, wrote book about it and now has a passion for fitness. It was pretty cool seeing him out and about in the neighborhood. I will try to get to the gym during lunch for my UBWO too...

***Update*** I made it to the gym for my UBWO in spite of temptations. One of my lunch buddies called right as I was getting ready to leave to go eat lunch. The tempting part was they were planning on going to a great lunch place that has a killer chicken enchiladas on Wednesdays. I am so glad I did go because I really hit it hard at the gym during lunch. Wow, I think I really hit my 10's during my workout.

On a side note, the tracker site (bodyforlife-tracker.com) is down. They say it will be up around midnight tonight but we'll see. I'm glad I did set this blog up and that I also keep my measurements off site...
