Day 9

 Well, my updating skills are severely lacking.

Since day 1, I have been able to stick to the diet and exercise plan pretty good.

I had a bad day on day 4 where I didn't workout (cardio) but made it up the next day. Then on day 5 I was in a place that had no access to food so my diet suffered.

Overall I am trying to hit the diet and exercise goals. I realize that every day is going to be great or even good. I'm trying to build up consistency in what I am doing.

So, here are the pictures from Monday, Sept 14.




Just for your info, I am currently living out of a hotel room up in Layton. I will be done up here on Sept 25. I was able to get a room with a kitchenette so I am trying to prepare as many meals as I can. When I do go to a restaurant, am I trying to be very careful to get a high protein/low carb meal.

Today will be my day two workout. Yesterday was cardio and Monday was day 1.

Day 29

 Here we go into week 5. This past week was definitely one of the best. Even though I missed a cardio session. I'm definitely getting into a rhythm at the gym, and I have tried to mix up things a little here and there with some of the exercises, just trying a different one for the same muscle group. When I look at this week's pictures, I can see a clear difference from even last week. I did try to stand a little taller, but I didn't suck in my belly or anything.  I was home all weekend and found that I was having more cravings for sugar than I have in the past. I think a big part of it was just being in a familiar setting and not necessarily being engaged in doing anything. That has always been the worst time for me when it comes to snacking. Luckily I was able to resist temptation aside from a very small piece of a brownie (literally a bite sized piece). Even eating the brownie was not really satisfying. I'd be lying though if I said it didn't taste good, cause it

Day 10

 Day 10 Today was a pretty good day. I ate correctly to the best of my ability and had a good workout. I was supposed to do cardio today but things got changed a little. A group of my military subordinates invited me to come work out with them. As a leader, I wanted to help build camaraderie and felt it was import to participate. Turns out it was at a Crossfit gym, which was fine with me as I did Crossfit for a couple of years at Hermes in Spanish Fork (your brother goes there, or did). Anyway, it was a good workout consisting of plenty of cardio and a little muscle work. We did a 25 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) The rounds were broken out by reps, starting with 5, then 10, then 15...  The exercises were calories on an assault bike, situps, calories on a row machine, and box step ups with a 35 lbs kettle bell. We worked in teams of two. Overall, a great workout. Tomorrow I am planning to come home for the weekend so I'll be able to get to the gym and control my nutritio
