Fitday It Is!

Well, I've established an account on fitday, as planned. From this point forward I'll be using this blog as an exercise journal only and tabulating my calories on the fitday site.

Today I did chest/biceps supersets.

Chest/bicep -Supersets

flat dumbell presses/straight bar curl (five sets)
Incline bench press/incline bench dumbell curls (four sets)
Straight arm chest flies/preacher curls (three sets)

Ran 18 sixty-five yard sprints with twenty seconds break in between followed by a twenty minute moderate state intensity run.

Tomorrow I'm resting from weight training and hoping to get in two solid moderate state intensity cardio workouts as well as a highly intense ab workout.

The Final Countdown Begins/Whatever it takes

This is where the rubber meets the road. No more exceptions on the diet. We're in the cutting phase and everything that I put in my mouth shall be recorded with its caloric value. Once the dairy products are exahusted from my refrigerator, I'm moving to whole foods with the exception of whey protein powder. Chicken, fish and beef shall constitute my protein intake.I'm also going to record my workouts. Blogging is going to become a daily activity like showering. The calories I eat shall also be entered on my blog as well as my cardio activity. I'll be consuming my carbs around my workouts and feeding my muscles prior and after. I'm not going to be married to any one theory. I'll follow the results wherever they lead and simply do whatever it takes.
