Week 2 begins! (Day 8 of 90)

Today was Core Synergistics again. I was able to do a lot more than last week and the workout didn't seem to last nearly as long as that first time. Amazing how quickly the human body responds to exercise. Yes, it's true I don't have a smokin' hot bod yet, but I can already feel that I have more strength and stamina and that's a great thing.

I've lost two pounds since I began. At first I was thinking that two pounds didn't seem like a whole lot. But this program is 13 weeks. If I lost two pounds a week for 13 weeks, I'd be right where I want to be with my weight.  I'm going to try to not get hung up on the weight thing though. I know there will be some weeks that the scale doesn't reflect any change. So, I keep measuring body fat percentage and measuring in inches, too. I'm also taking pictures once a week so I can keep comparing. The scale can sometimes be a real asshole so I will try to remember that it is only one tool of many and it only shows one type of progress.

At this point my recovery drink of choice is chocolate milk. I've done a lot of reading on the subject and studies show that it's a very good recovery drink and holds its own over more expensive, commercial drinks. I'm looking to get into shape here. I'm not looking to go broke buying all sorts of powders and mixes and stuff.

So, this begins the cycle again, which means that tomorrow is cardio. Since today is Valentine's I'll be going out to dinner with GG.  Hopefully I don't go too crazy and completely blow the nutrition part of this. But I'm also not going to get so hung up that I don't enjoy myself. Life is for living and, for me, part of that means enjoying food and indulging every now and again. So, maybe I do the cardio DVD twice tomorrow. :)
