Wow. Funny how time flies. "Hi. I'm jc228, and it's been 24 days since my last post." [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have quite a bit of workout stuff to catch up on. But first, my confession.

I've been bad. Horrible bad. Giving-up-on-my-New-Year's-resolution bad. Not that I've given up. It just really felt that way. And here I am, sandwiched snuggly between apathy and excuses.

So what's my excuse? Hockey. Or, to be more accurate, hockey games that don't start until 10:00 or 10:30. Three weeks ago I had a hockey game on Sunday night, then another one on Monday night. I was shot for the week. I didn't get up once that week to work out.

The following week, I blew off working out again. Hockey Sunday night and Wednesday night. But still. I was too damn lazy to get out of bed.

To make matters worse, my diet went to shit, too. I ate pretty much anything I got my hands on. I caved with the candy basket that I walk past every day. I caved at home. I didn't even make an attempt to eat clean. And it showed. Eventually.

The first week, I climbed on the scale for Friday's weigh-in, and came in at 228, the same as the previous week. Same 20.15% BF as the prior week, too. No problem, I thought. No harm done, right?

The second week's weigh-in was quite a bit different. I gained 3 pounds, to 231, and went from 20.15% to 21.05% BF.

So I decided last week that it's time to get serious again. And, while I'm still having issues controlling my diet, I've gotten back on the horse with my workouts. I'll not drag you all through the details, but will instead give you a brief summary. Last week went like this:

Monday - TT and HIIT
Tuesday - Core and HIIT (sore)
Wednesday - TT and Hockey (very sore)
Thursday - Core and HIIT (very sore)
Friday - TT (not bad)

On Friday I weighed in at 229.5 pounds, but my BF% escalated again to 21.64%. I was very disappointed in seeing that number, but I'm hoping that it will go down again soon.

So anyway, that's where I am. This morning I got up and did workout B. It takes me quite a bit longer to get that workout in, and I haven't quite gotten the hang of how long it takes. So I missed my HIIT this morning. I will try to do it tonight. Tomorrow I want to do my Core workout, and more HIIT.

I've been AWOL for a while now, but I will be doing my best to make sure that doesn't happen again for a long time. Thanks go to all of you who believed in me. I will do my best not to let you down.
