Day 1: Fit for Life Challenge

I may have jumped into this a little too quickly. All this eating and working out is a little much for me to handle all at once. But I guess that my gradual approaches haven't gotten me very far in the past. I guess that if I jump in with both feet, it will be easier for me in the long run to complete the entire challenge. No half-assed attempts here!

I told mom about the challenge, and she seemed very supportive. I tried to tell Bentley a little bit more about it, but she was nervous and upset about how her presentation in class went. Maybe once she calms down a little about life, I can tell her about it. I think that doing this program with Gregg will definitely help me out a lot. He's going to be holding me accountable for working out and following the eating program.

I'm not sure I ever want to eat again after Day 1. Six times a day feels like constant eating. My two last meals I had to choke down. After my workout (Upper Body weight training), I felt like I was going to hurl all over the Wal-Mart as I was picking up fruit and other essentials for this crazy food plan. Then the dude at GNC told me that I didn't want the calipers I was trying to buy. Came home after that and just vegged on the couch all last night. Great start...

On the plus side, I woke up this morning on Day 2 with only moderate soreness in my arms. My armpits feel like somebody knifed me or something crazy, but not as bad as I was anticipating. I can move and function, which is something altogether different than last night when it hurt to lift my Nalgene to my mouth.

Today is the same diet plan all over again and the aerobic workout. 20 minutes of running :) Oh great... let's just see how my hip will hold out for this one. But I must keep a positive attitude. Otherwise the rest of the 82 days is going to blow ass.
