Day 1

Phase 1, Week 1, Day 1
Chest & Back

Weight Loss Stats:
Weight: 287.6lbs - Loss: 2.4lbs - % Loss: 2.7%

Workout Notes:

Workout was crazy! First day I didn't push too hard. I did all the push up exercises on my knees because of my shoulder problem I want to work my way up to doing all exercises as directed as my strength goes up, no point in hurting myself in day 1. I also didn't do any pull-up exercises and because I didn't have a band (yet) I just did Dumbbell Bent Over Rows as my back exercise when pull-ups were in order.

Only a few minutes after the work out I can feel my body is stiff but still have energy left. I left out doing Ab Ripper X as part of the exercise, for the same reason of not wanting to push too hard in day 1. I will see how I feel after the workouts after Phase 1 and then add in Ab Ripper X to the end of the exercise days.

I'm going out today to locate a band that I can start doing the pull-up workouts to work my way to real pull ups in later phases. Also might try and find push up bars so I can save my wrists a little bit, wow are they burning right now!

Nutrition Notes:

Did perfect today besides not having breakfast because of waking up at around 12 today. Didn't eat anything un planned because an extra bit of ham since I skipped that one meal today I figured no biggie.

Mood/Body Notes:

Felt good all around. My body is a little sore tonight before bed but that is no surprise after that workout I had, sorest part of my body is my lats by far so it should be itneresting to see how I feel tomorrow morning and during my next workout. I'm excited to do get going tomorrow.


Side Note: I just got home from the sports store with push up bars and resistance bands for the pull up exercises. I will look into a pull-up bar later in the Phases.
