Great workout today…awesome pyramid and interval training. Had a slight strain after yesterday’s weight-lifting session…had to stretch a bit do a bit more warm up today…body was probably a bit traumatized after months of no lifting. At any rate, still feel a bit sore, but overall body really feels as though it’s getting stronger. I have not had the massage I promised myself a week ago, think now is the time.

Kicking it up a notch this week with weights added every other day; Â this is gonna be sort of the “Body for Life” program. Not too sore right now…gonna get a good soak.

I had not laid out my goals here, but I had it written down elsewhere. At any rate here they are:
– Time Period: 8 weeks (Phase 1)
– Weight: 182 currently –> 175lbs (ripped)
– Elliptical Caloric burn: 180ish currently –>250 calories (12 minutes)
– Mileage: 200 miles
– Pushups: 101 (2 minutes)…probably get in 45-50 good ones
– Crunches: 120 (2 minutes)…I can probably get about 60-70
– Calories: 40,000
I am considering this as Phase 1 of the “Year of the Body”. The run and elliptical caloric burn might be sort of steep since I’ve got to watch the weight loss, but as long as I am eating properly, I should be fine.

Off Day: Absolutely nothing doing today. Give body needed rest.
Need to stay on top of sleeping. Eating on the other hand is going quite well.
