Day Ten

I may have spoken too soon about Ultimate Abs. I woke up this morning feeling just fine, but as the day went on my core just started aching. I took that as a sign to make today my rest day instead of Saturday. I did do some walking today, from my office to Best Buy to look at laptops. 

We got several gift baskets from Harry & David at the office today, so there was some good eatin' happening. I had a pear and some smoked salmon. For dinner, I picked up a turkey panini with tomatoes. 

I'm going to keep this one short as my body would like for me to fall asleep now.

Day Nine

I got a workout buddy today! My coworker and good friend Hannah joined my gym and we went to the Ultimate Abs class this evening. My abs will hurt tomorrow, but it was actually a little disappointing. I was hoping for something a little more intense, but it was pretty easy after awhile. I probably won't be back to that class. But I'm glad I tried it.

We also did a few of the weight machines and focused on a full-body workout. The best part of the evening was running into my old trainer again - I've got a free session scheduled in a few days! I remember our first few sessions were pretty intense so I'm hoping to be feeling it for a few days afterwards. 

I had the rest of my chicken ranch wrap from last night for breakfast today, and then kind of fell of the wagon for the rest of it, food-wise. I didn't exactly eat poorly, but not as carefully as I should. We had a big meeting in the office so breakfast was provided and I ended up munching on a bagel and had some of the chocolate that was laid out, something I'm really trying not to do. I need to refocus on my diet since that's going to be the most instrumental part of this journey.

Overall, though, this was a great day. It's going to be fun to see how having Hannah on board helps motivate me. Feeling great!

Day Two

Weight: 173.2

Program: Strength & Force Upper + Ultimate Abs

Breakfast: Egg and corned beef

Lunch: Golden Grahams and milk

Dinner: Chicken and rice

Comparing this to the arms track of P90X, I would say this is less intense because of the use of resistance bands but damn, their ab workout is miles and miles ahead. They're not kidding when they mean you can feel the burn.
