Lifting Goals: Arms and Shoulders
Distance/Endurance Goals: Bike 20 miles/ 60 minutes
It's 7:30 in the morning and for all intensive purposes I've been up for an hour now. I'm not sure if I'm tired or just getting over sleep but this morning has not been as hard as I thought it would be. Eating breakfast and thinking about the workout ahead, I need to be careful lifting today. I have a tendency to over work my arms and kind of put them out of commission for too long a recovery. I'm doing something wrong there so for now take it easy. Also not sure if i want to bike today, I really fee like running.

Post workout update:
So, I decided to push through four more miles on the tread mill today. I hit Arms and Shoulders today so I'll give my Ass and Legs a break tomorrow and bike before I lift with my legs. It feels good to get through day two and to be done with the gym by 9:30 a.m. I will admit that the run today was a lot harder then yesterday, but wrestling taught me how to push body and mind through even when you feel like falling down and just laying there for a while.
With just a few days left until X-mas and a week past that for New Years Eve I'm feeling confident that I'm building enough momentum. Here's to hoping I can keep up.

One more quick thing. Interesting article via the NYTimes on exercising before breakfast, looks like my schedule is gonna change a little bit
Go Bruno go! It's funny, I just read all 3 of your blogs in chronological order, and when I saw that you'd spent the first couple days eating before you worked out I was going to post that same NYT article! Well-spotted - keep up the good work, man.
ReplyDeleteIf I may, the NYtimes article is about exercising before breakfast while on a HIGH FAT & HIGH CALORIE diet. If you meet your goal of eating healthy more consistently, then I'd still recommend fueling your workout ahead of time. Awesome blog dude, way to get it.
