Like many of you, I am starting this log for accountability. I am a personal trainer and yammer on about it enough but don't seem to be living the lesson myself all too successfully. I have just completed my Masters (in a completely different field...Fine Arts) and am starting my PhD so am a wee bit scattered. As such, I am keeping my objectives relatively simple:
Lose 15-20 lbs fat.
Complete: 3-5 unassisted chin ups.
Time frame: End of 2009.
I know dropping the weight won't be a problem IF I can cut waaaaay back on the booze, which makes for late nights, erratic sleeping (and I don't sleep well even without it), empty calories, poor food choices the day after, amongst a gamut of other health destroying side-effects. This will be my major obstacle. There always seems to be some art opening, book launch, gala, ceremony to go to and alcohol abounds. However, I undersand this is an explaination. Not an excuse. Hell, it isn't even much of an explaination. In any event, otherwise my diet is super clean. I run around 40kms a week, bike about the same, swim 60 laps, resistance train 3 times.
So here I go. Day one.
Pounds lost: Predicatbly none.
Hours slept: 5
Cardio: 20km run
Resistance: Core routine
Wish me luck! Much peace!
