Week 57.1

OUCH
So, i restarted my workouts last week. I did Bulgarian lunges on Friday, and had lost 25% of my strength. By Sunday, I couldn't walk, and getting onto the toilet was an adventure of muscle pain. So I delayed working out until Tuesday, starting with jump plyos and upper body. I didn't get back to Bulgies until today, and it wasn't pretty. As in, I had lost even more strength, and now it's my glutes that hurt. Specifically, my left glute. The silver lining is that I'm obviously working the right muscles.

Thanks to everyone for the supportive comments. I'm often a negative guy, but this quest has been all positive for me (though still can get discouraging). It's amazing how I have zero tolerance for haters. This new found positivity through my quest has spiritual overtones, but I'll save that for another day.

Week 56.3

NEW VIDEO
It's like a month old now, but finally here's the last video we shot!

No need for music credits on this one...

Week 56.2

WHAT THE !@#$
So, yesterday I resumed my training, and started with my jump plyos and upper body weights. I had gained 2 inches on my vert! This, after 2+ weeks of no workouts and no sleep!

Look, I get the physiology of it all - that my body somehow was able to rest it's joints from wear and tear, that I may have lost a few pounds because I still ate healthy and ate less....And of course I'll take the gains after many months of no improvement. But it's also frustrating that I made more gains by doing nothing (yes, my previous training was a big part of that gain).

Anyways, it felt like I was on a trampoline. I really felt some spring for the first time in a long time. We'll see what happens now...

Week 57.1

AND WE'RE BACK
Let's see, for the last 3 weeks, I've gotten about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. For the last 2 weeks, I haven't worked out a bit. Wednesday I resume my 3 day a week training regimen, with cardio in between ( I did a light "hello" jog today).

I have no idea how far back my working hell will have set me. I do know that I probably could have used a break from training, as my knees were feeling raw, and I tweaked my ankle doing Bulgarian lunges. However, an ideal break would include cardio, not sitting 18 hours a day at a computer.

I'm hoping to put my anniversary video up by mid weekend.

Week 56.1

MORE TIRED
Working on a commercial I directed, now I'm doing all the graphics, as well as my usual Dairy Queen Red Lips stuff...It's 3:25am and I feeling sick tired, like where you wobble around and your eyes fall shut until a queasy feeling wakes you back up.

Hee hee, uhhh....at least my knees might recover a little from all the workouts?

Only 4 more days of this....

Week 55.1

TIRED
Yup, I'm definitely in the thick of things with work. I've been pulling 15+ hour days. I somehow managed to get my 3 workout days in, plus a jog. But now my body is rebelling. I'm gonna try to get at least 7 hours of sleep tonight. But next week is gonna be even worse. I hope to get at least one workout day in. But I'm not gonna sleep much in the next 7 days.

I just hope i don't lose any gains, or gain any more weight.
