going to Russia

I have lost about 10 pounds this week. I am on a high protein/low carbohydrate program. I also have stopped eating meals past 6 pm. I still have a protein shake at night after getting home from the dojo. I have been hitting the gym in the mornings, lifting weights and then running on the elliptical for 30 minutes. I have also been working out at the dojo when the numbers allow me to. Last night after practice, I went to the gym for a second 30 minute run....felt good.

passengers do not decide the route.

...slept in today and got a late start at the gym. I still got in a good ab and cardio workout.

...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.
