Day 18

I tossed around the idea of actually posting today or not. The reason to post is for the accountability of the workouts and diet. The reason not to would be for the simple fact that I am not really giving any new information. I remember what someone said to me about my blog and they were reading it. Nice to know that in some small way I can help or motivate someone.

Today is day 1 of week 2 and Total Synergistics was the workout. I feel that I made some improvements over week 1. I was able to do some of the exercises better and increase what I could do. Some of this may just be that I have done them before and there is less time now figuring out what and how to do what they are doing, and some may be that I actually feel a bit stronger and more coordinated within that exercise. Let's face it, if you are doing the workouts to the best you can and eating correctly which means as clean as possible, then you should be losing weight which will in turn allow you to do more and better.

I am really digging my breakfast everyday now. I wish it were Shakeology, but right now it is not. I am using Body Fortress whey protein powder, some water, ice a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter. That makes a pretty tasty shake and a good meal to replace. The protein powder is chocolate flavor as well (forgot to mention that). I usually do a morning snack of hard boiled egg whites and or some Yoplait Greek yogurt. The key thing was removing the cereal meals and the unwanted carbs out of the diet.

I think this is the week that people might quit their workouts if they were to quit. They get a week in and feel "eh" about it all. They don't like that they can't do what they thought they could and use that as a blockade for moving forward. They think that I will never be able to do that. One thing is for sure, if you quit now you never will. People need to see that the daily struggle is what makes the journey worth it in the end. They know what it took when they look back, and they give it a greater value because of the journey and what they were able to accomplish during that journey.

Keep pushing play and always Bring It!!!
