So I have restarted again, how many time have you heard that right…I decided as an accountability measure I needed to start blogging daily on my progress and failures.

Day 1: Core Synergystics. This workout was pretty tough, but at the same time I love the way it makes me feel. All day I was able to feel like my core was tight, my back was straight, and my posture was good. The workout consists of quite a bit that I will detail out next week as to ensure this post does not end up 500 pages long.

Day 2: Cardio-X. It is just what it says it is, Cardio. This workout has a good mix of Plyometrics, Yoga, and Kenpo that keeps the heartrate up for almost the entire workout. I love the rush I get from this one as well.

Day 3: Arms and Shoulders + Ab-ripper-X: The arm workout just blows your arms and shoulders up, I was exhausted by the time I was finished. The ab-ripper is gonna take me some time to get worked up to the whole thing. I was able to do about 15 reps of 3 exercises this morning before I had to stop.

All in all I think that so long as I take my weight loss in small chunks and keep pushing play I should be okay. I think the Power 90 X workout is what is going to take me to where I want to be.

The more I read about the warrior diet the more sense it seems to make to me. You eat one big meal at the end of the day, and by big I mean 80-90% of your daily calories in one meal. The reason this makes sense to me is that our ancestors did exactly this. They would spend the entire day sometimes hunting and gathering and would sit at the end of the day and enjoy the fruits of their labors (no pun intended). I think this is something that though tough, once I got used to it would work really well for me.

The reason this appeals to me is because of events. During SCA events, I can fight all day, never having had anything to eat and then once I eat I night I feel really fantastic, my food tastes better, I don’t feel as bloated, and my body feels like it is getting the nutrients it needs to survive.

I started working out again this morning. I started with Couch to 5k Day 1 Week 1 and it was excruciating.  it’s funny to think that 3 short months ago I was able to run almost 3 miles without much trouble and now I am having trouble running for 1 minute. I know I will get back there, it’s just going to take some time.

I will be doing the Body for Life workouts coupled with the Couch to 5k running for the cardio portion. I should be ready in March for the Death March, but time will tell. If I am not ready, I cannot justify going all the way to New Mexico for the march. I will make it.

My overall Goal is about 70lbs and stuff. I will not get discouraged this time!
