It's hard to believe that 3 weeks are almost complete. This morning was the first morning that I looked in the mirror and felt like I could see a difference. I'm pretty sure my upper stomach area what I call my "top ab" is flatter or smaller or what have you. I think that this is one of the last places you put on weight, so I have to believe that this is one of the first places I'd see improvement. Again, I don't get on the scale until next week so looks are all I have to go on.
Speaking of that I'm going to change things slightly. The "plan" calls for you to weigh in and take pictures on day 31. However the "phases" are in 4 week blocks. So it doesn't make much sense to me. I'm going to weigh in and take pictures next Sunday on the end of the 1st phase. I'll have more time to do this on Sunday and it makes more sense to me to do it on a day you're resting and your muscles aren't jacked up rather than do it after arm day or something to where the results look skewed. I think this makes more sense. It does mean that my last weigh-in will be 5 weeks long instead of the 4 from Phase 1 and Phase 2 because Phase 3 is 4 weeks and then a recovery week. I'm fine with this having to be this way.
Leg and Back workout today went well. My legs right now are really warm feeling which is always a good sign of a tough workout. I'm thinking that tomorrow I might have a sore lower back because that always seems to happen after I work my hamstrings. Kenpo should stretch me out. Today's workout seemed like I got alot more out of it than usual. This was my first leg and back workout with my resistance band and I didn't get my usual breathing time during the back part of the workout. I got alot of reps on the back workout and I'm really thinking that between losing weight and the new workout I'm getting with the bands that I stand a good shot at being able to complete a pull-up by the end of the cycle.
Ab-Ripper today wasn't the best effort I've put forth on it. I just have such a hard time on it. By the time I do In-Out,Bicycles,Crunchy Frog, and Wide Leg Sit-ups I really have nothing left. My abs are killing me and I feel like I'm using more back at that point than abs to get up and I'm worried about hurting myself. All this might be excuses I make because I'm super tired, who knows. All I know is that by the time Feifer Scissors comes along I've got nothing left.
Energy is way up today. Yesterday was pretty low energy wise but I fought through it.
Looking forward to Kenpo tomorrow. I love that workout for some reason. I can't wait to press play on it.
