DAY TOTAL JUDGEMENT: Despite straying from my exact track today and not writing in my notebook I've been progressing and following well. However, I shouldn't discount these things because I DO understand that, although miniscule, these things are what keep me going and on top of things when times are rough and I'm busy.

Reward meal and day of rest

Just doing a quick sign in today to keep up on my blog. I feel very accomplished to have reached four weeks and my body has been really taking a beating so I decided to reward myself with a day of rest and a free meal. Back into full swing tomorrow though and I can't wait to get shreddin again now that I've come this far.

Day 27 (T-31): I'm back and well!

I sincerely apologize for my abrupt absence in writing my blogs. During this past week, some dramatic events occurred with family which resulted in a change of my residence. These events caused my consisting in blogging to be disrupted but not my program! I have continued working hard and am progressing aggressively!

Summary of Friday D23-TuesdayD27:
Friday D23: Low Cal: All task complete minus weight training due to recent wrist injury which is healing
Saturday D24: Low Cal: All task complete including Cardio and ab training
Sunday D25: High Cal: Rest day - HIIT morning and Eating schedule followed.
Monday D26: High Cal: Most tasks complete: Weight schedule followed
Tuesday D27: Low Cal: All tasks completed: Ab schedule followed

All I can say is that the start of school is encroaching and my plan is really being put to the test. The good news is, I'm succeeding!

Tomorrow I will do measurements first thing in the morning to track progress.

I shall never quit no matter what I'm put through this is mine and I am LEAN FOR LIFE!

Day 22 (T-36): Straight back into action

---Yesterday was a rest/free day. I ate moderately, being conscious not to take it overboard but I did indulge in a cookie as well as some cheese. I feel it was a productive day in terms of recovering both my body and mind and by the end of the day I was itching to get going again. It really reminded me what it was like to be "normal" which turned out to be a good thing. I found out that most people aren't even aware of what kind of fuel they're putting into their gas tanks. It also helped to eliminate a feeling i'd been having when I saw out of shape people or people eating sweets and "yummy food". I have been looking at these people and actually feeling a bit jealous because they got to eat yummy food and didn't even care what their body look like. But after yesterday I've stopped having those feeling and I feel good about what I'm doing and realize that I am actually better off because not only do I get to occasionally enjoy those good foods but I enjoy them more and appreciate them more in moderation than as a constant like water. Also, the food I eat keeps my mind and body in balance and makes me feel healthy, strong, and guilt-free! I'm glad I took the rest/free day because now I'm going stronger than ever and feel great!
Day # 4 of high speed training was another great success! 3 Down 37 more to go!

Day 20 (T-38): Boo yah!

---Hey ya'll I'm feeling good at last although I did cry today...wow it's been a while since I cried like that. I was missing my mom and sister and talk to them on the phone and then the tears just started flowing oat. I guess you don't really know what've you've got until it's gone. : )
I realized today that everyone in the world is just family. And us in the shredder community are a family too. We are bound by unspoken bond that has brought us together to support each other and accomplish are biggest dreams. Look at Adam! What an inspiration! and look at what is going on here. This is a great thing and has helped me tremendously. Larry: I'm throwing you out a shout out for being such a supportive friend. Thanks man. And thank you everyone! We are in this together. Shred on Shredders!
