Week 2

Well week 2 started out a little rocky. Not because of the workouts but because of pulling muscles. Monday I started my second round of Chest and Back. I was happy because I increased all my push-up reps an average of 2-5 reps. However the downside is I did one unassisted pull-up the whole time and had to do assisted pull-ups. Part of me says switch to the bands but I'm not feeling the burn. I do feel the burn when I put most of the weight on my arms and use my feet. I would say I 'm doing pull-ups 90-10 as far as assiting is going. I hope to increase my unassited pull-ups drastically over the next 11 weeks.

Tonight I did plyometrics and was able to bring it through the first half of the exercises but on the second half was fading at the end of each exercise. I especially was fading on the squats at the end when you jump and switch. The other tough exercise is the one foot hop. I remember doing those in High School for basketball training. I hope to build my self up to do those exercises I did back in the day.

Buff mentioned she could see a little thinning in the face. I know shes my wife but hey that still something. This is what happened last time I seriously worked out and ate right.

Now lets see if we can make it through the Holidays the next 2 weeks. I'm going to be careful but I am not missing out on Holiday meals. I will just not splurge. Maybe I should have diet dew before dinner. That seems to do the trick as far as appetite control during a meal.
