DAY 47 WHAT A WEEK




Haven't blogged in several days just been one of those weeks super buys at work took all I could do to get my workouts in.  Was a really rough week like I said what tired every day and really struggled through some of the workouts.   I did not feel strong through most of the workouts and was really hungry as heck in the evenings.  I have been good though sticking to the plan and the workouts.  Hope this week is a bit better and last and would love just a bit more energy.  was a real trudge last week!

DAY 40 7 AM JUMP ROPES

Well I gave Patrick's pre breakfast jump ropes a crack have to say was stiff as a board when I first started.  I find that the case most days when I start up but after 200 or so I loosen up and they become easier.

I was starving when I went up but as I started to get in to the exercise the hunger started to pass a bit.  I have to say that I have been a bit tired over the past week.  Was up at 5:30 for Golf yesterday with Tim and Jason.  Home by about 3 and knew it was best to knock my workout out.  After golf the knees always aches because of the terrain but still belted it out.  I am still challenged by the piston squats.  The pain and form are a no go for now but as the weight goes down I will get there.  Tried a few but the pain made made switch over to the normal squats again.   Back in to my Kackis pants that I could wear for 2 years and that's a good thing!  Also did my weight and body fat all down and thats also a good thing! PCP well....this is a good thing....sounds like forest gump!

Day 9 numbers   before 20.8  and 18.7   BP 115-78  Day 7 105.2
Day 40 Numbers              19     and  16.6   BP 115-73  weight 101 flat...

Day 37 Thursday Peak condition on my mind all day

It was on my mind all day because I was tired irritable and tired of pushing.  Push at work, Push at home push peak condition push push push.  wanted to try to knock out 75% of the workout at lunch but got stuck  on the desk so only kicked the jump ropes out then home by 7:30 baby to sleep and up to the gym finished the balance of the workout but I think form was crap.  The new exercises Are a bit tricky still cant do the piston too painful on the knees so again did 5 sets of 20 squats...

Wasn't really in the mood to blog but there it is.  Really happy its Friday tomorrow need a weekend tired physically and mentally.  Could use a big mac but no chance of that 37 days and I'm not quitting no chance.

Day 36 full day the exhaustion continues!

Quite a full 2 days!  Did my 1400 jump ropes then played an hour and 20 minutes of tennis last night home by 9 to my SHAKE!!!  Man I was starving yesterday.  I went to bed thinking my refrigerator was calling my name!  After seeing the menu had a good laugh!  I lost an egg and a banana!  What the heck but I had a chuckle as did many of the people at work that heard about my lost egg and banana!  I did laugh though!  Throw what you may my way I can take it!

Lunch meeting today so had to do my workout at 4:30 with Tim and Alex.  Alex is the form coach have to say couldn't do the piston squats.  Absolutely hurt my knees too much maybe after another 5 k will be better  so unfortunately subbed in the normal squats 5 sets of 20.  This is the one time I flaked,,,,,but had to.  ate dinner and my veg wiped but not as hungry as yesterday.  Weighed myself this morning no weight loss in 4 days a bit surprised but not worried at all as I know I am building muscle and the name of the game is condition and strength.  I'm sure the weight thing will work out over the next 2 months.   I have noticed that the past 4 days I have really been wiped and feel empty hopefully this does pass soon Im sure it will.  So jason send your breakfast over!!!!

Day 32-33

I've seen in a couple other posts that some people are feeling a bit wiped lately .  I have to say that the past few days have been the same for me.   Yesterday Saturday I was really exhausted.   I went up to do my workout at 5 PM took me about 1:45 minutes to finish my workout legs felt like lead.  Maybe its the change in diet?  Anyway, today a lot better got to the gym at noon felt a lot stronger and powered through my workout.    The change in diet a little tricky.  I see a lot of posts saying too much food!  Hey if its too much send the extra to me!  I'm trying to space out meals and snacks I'm sure I will get used to the change. At the end of the day I really am seeing a difference and am seriously happy about it!

Its going to be tricky this week with work think I may have to break my workout up into 2 sessions.  I can do the jump ropes at the office 1350 or how ever man then do a couple hundred at night at home to warm up before the workout just to get the blood flowing before the exercises.  Doing it all at 9 pm just too tough after 13 hours and I don't think I am getting the full benefit if I am dragging my ass through the workout.

Day 31 talk about wiped

11:30 pm just finished my work out not the best time to be working out but it was the only time I could fit it in.   Have to say it was totally exhausting but of course it would be work all day then start working out at 9:30!!!   Took Tim s advice 2 egg whites in a shake with cinnamon and a bit of honey.  Don those whites went and I was tasty.

Completely wiped ,,,curious about how Patrick chose the diet?  1 banana apple and 2 egg white?  What give patrick? What is it doing to us.
Nighty night i am so sleepy
