...sleep deprivation is part of the communist plot to overthrow the world!

I'm really looking forward to moving to the new house this weekend.

6 on 1 off

I feel pretty good about going 6 days on and 1 day off for my workout routine for now. As a matter of fact, I had a difficult time "not going" to the gym yesterday and had to force myself to rest. I feel good today and am looking forward to lifting and doing some cardio.

Today will be 6 days in a row that I have strength trained. I haven't been able to stick to a solid routine like that in years. When I was in my best shape, I was hitting the gym with a 6 on 1 off schedule and practicing martial arts 3-5 days a week.

I'm feeling healthy and strong again. Yesterday, I started putting cardio back into the routine as well. I have started marking on the calendar to help keep record of my training and nutrition. On the days I workout I mark with a foward slash. On the days I follow my nutrition plan successfully, I mark with a back slash. The goal is to have X marks on most days.

momentary lapse in the diet...having teriyaki beef, Hawaiian macaroni salad, and diet soda. I opted for fried rice instead of steamed rice as well.

Back on track!

Feeling pretty good with my nutrition and workouts lately. Olga went shopping for healthy foods and has been helping me with keeping meals prepared ahead of time. I have been hitting the gym consistently as well. I am doing an antagonist approach to my workouts right now. Chest/back, shoulders/biceps/triceps, and abs/legs. I have also been including plyometrics a couple days a week. Although I haven't dropped significant weight, I feel my body becoming more solid and toned already. Seeing results early on is always a great motivator for me. 

I am very excited about the new house we are moving in to.
