Summary:
Today was the start of week 2. The challenging part of the second week is matching or surpassing the results and the intensity that you put forward in week 1. I'm feeling rested and ready for the week so Bring It On!

Today was Chest and Back. This workout is always good to see how well you're doing because it's actually an extremely basic workout. Pushups and Pullups. And none of the fancy variety that they use in the later weeks, these are the straight forward push and pull variety. I did much better this week than last week in regards to consistency. I matched all the numbers that I put up in week 1. And I matched all the numbers in round 2 of the workout that I did in round 1 which I didn't do in Week 1, so I've got that to build on.

Eating today was good. I found that my starving tendencies from last week are subsiding slightly from last week which I'm hoping is a trend going forward. I am well aware that the diet is where the progress comes from, but when you're hungry all the time that sucks. It's not surprising that the first week I was pretty hungry considering how much I used to eat. I had to get my stomach to shrink down to what normal people are used to eating.

Overall week 2 is going well. Plyo tomorrow and running. I have a feeling that will be the suck.
