All Geared Up and Ready To Go…

I’ve done my grocery shopping and planned my workouts for next week.

I’ve stocked up on Aleve and Advil for the DOMS(Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) that will ensue after my workouts.

Tomorrow I will precook and package my chicken and brown rice, and chop my veggies.

Today I will go into my gym and dust and vacuum. (it’s sad that I actually have to DUST my dumbells.)

Tomorrow I will weigh myself, take my measurements, and beginning shots. (and post them..aaaaah!!)

I’m filled with this sense of anxiety, excitement, and dread all at once. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just I’m ALWAYS resistant to change, change in my routine, change in eating habits, and certainly change in my activity level.

However, at the same time I’m really excited about these changes. Body for life worked so well for me last time I did a challenge that I don’t see any way to fail this time.

There is no way that fat will not just run away from my body if I’m eating clean, and lifting weights with high intensity, and doing my High Intensity Interval Training.

I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to take my free days on Sunday or not. Last challenge most of my free days became free weekend binge fests of carbs, fat and sugar. I’m fairly certain it had a negative impact on my final results. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to my first Sunday. I’m thinking I may approach it as more of ONE free meal, instead of a Free Day.

If you’re interested in what my eating plan looks like there’s a link to the right entitled What I Eat.  I’ll be sticking to this plan pretty rigorously for the next twelve weeks. It averages 1250-1500 calories a day evenly distributed over the course of the day. It is perfectly balanced in Fat, Carbs, and  Proteins. The last time I followed this eating plan I lost 27 pounds in 12 weeks. (If you are a male you will need to adjust the portions accordingly for your calorie needs.)

That’s all folks! I’m off to dust my dumbells and get my gym cleaned up and ready for the ensuing chaos that will occur in it.
