So being off work is not good for me. Besides the lack of high speed internet ( I'm down to 28.8 kbps), not having any structure turns all my plans to crap. So far I have spent a day shopping, and one day reading, and not tracked anything I ate, because fitday my painfully slow internet at home wouldn't load the page.

On the upside I finally had time to pick up my mail and have finally read my copy of NROL4W. Now I can mod up the workouts to what they were supposed to be. I picked all the modifications that were specifically mentioned as being no good, knee push-ups and crunches, the first round through. I'll have to start keeping a paper journal to track my food and enter it into fitday when I get back to work. Not that I've been too crazy, but I made the halibut recipe from the book last night for supper and none of the wine went to waste.

Now that I've read the book I can plan a little more what I'm going to be doing. Some of the later phases look killer for someone as out of shape as I am so I'm thinking this month will be a trial run and then when I come back from vacation at the start of March I will start at the beginning again. We don't have anywhere booked to stay for our trip and it will most likely be hostels or motels that don't have a gym, so it would be semi impossible to follow through with a real routine for the month. I should be able to practice push-ups and some other bw exercises though and New Zealand is known for their tramping, so that should give me enough to do.
