Day 56

Another surprisingly excellent workout this morning. The fast paced intervals felt surprisingly easy considering I had a grueling leg workout immediately prior. Normally my legs put up a fuss, but today they took their beating without complaint. Everything from mid-thigh down felt like jelly, but my hip flexors were working well, which is most important.

Unfortunately, I've got a physical tomorrow, so that'll mess up my meal scheduling. I'll still make it work, just not in the time frame I'd prefer. I'm tempted to do fasted LISS while I'm fasted for the physical but I don't think I will. I'll save fasted LISS for another time.

Cheers.

Day 55

Got a ton of work done today. A very productive Spring Break morning and afternoon!!

I'm trying to get as much done as is humanly possible knowing that I won't be too productive over the weekend. Friday will be shot because of the drive and who knows how much work I'll do over Saturday and Sunday.

My workout today was excellent - kept 5:22 pace for my intervals. Slowly, but surely, I'm working my way down to 5:00 interval pace. Hopefully I can make it there before I start training for the mile or the 5k.

Also, walking my dog is much more fun than walking to class. I definitely need to get a dog when I get older.

Cheers!

Day 54

Luckily, my lifting day diet has the same macronutrient ratio no matter what body parts I'm lifting for that day, so that makes it easy for me to post again this morning.

Sticking to my diet, so far, isn't as hard as I thought it'd be. Thanks to my folks running around getting my diet foods in place before I got here, this is going rather swimmingly. I am going to need one or two more things, but for the most part, everything's in good order.

Today I'm going to try to load up all my carbs without the aide of wheat bread. I'll save the wheat bread for the week and beyond, but while I've got these veggies at my disposal, I may as well use them, aye?

Anyway, time to run. Cheers.

Day 52

So I made it back home to Spring Break safe and sound. I always forget at least one thing when packing - this year I forgot my scale. :(

So I won't be posting my weight on a daily basis. I will, however, still be posting all my other stats. My next time weighing myself will actually be my monthly weighin at the end of next week!

I'm excited to see what progress I will have made by that point.

This morning was a good running day. Cranked the speed up to 11 mph for the duration of the HIIT portion of the run. Hopefully I can sustain that interval pace for a few weeks before upping the pace again. By the time summer rolls around, I'd like to be hitting my intervals at 12.0 Mph (5 minute mile pace) so I can see what that feels like again.

Anyway, to bed.

Cheers.

Day 50

Woohoo!!! I hit 50 days. Just a couple of days before Spring Break - the midpoint of the semester.

I'm looking forward to assessing my progress next week, but I know the road ahead is both still long and will get harder since as my body fat decreases, the last bits become tougher to lose.

I don't think I'm quite at the difficult stage yet, but as my weight has indicated over the last few days, my body is definitely putting up a fight. Thankfully, I have the iron will to work through the difficult days and weeks and defer my gratification to the end result.

Anyway, bedtime.

Day 49

I can definitely see my body beginning to tone up. It's good to have some physical results after < 2 months of sticking to this. Now that I have some momentum, it should, in theory, be easier to maintain.

There is one caveat - the academic semester ebbs and flows with a giant push for final deliverables at the end. So as graduation draws near, I will need to have everything in perfect order to maintain my schedule. Here's hoping that's possible.

I'm going to try to get alot of work done over Spring Break to stem the rush of schoolwork a bit, but it's difficult to accomplish much when you're "on break".

Anyway, I'm happy with my progress so far and I'm REALLY liking the broccoli. Delicious (even with nothing on it).

Cheers.
