Well, another week has passed, and I’ve lost another pound. Whoopee! I thought that I’d do better. It must have been that Sam Adams Light that I drank in celebration of another Yankee victory.
Exercise Highlights
I decided to mix up my exercise routine this week, and I only worked out on Monday and Friday. This was due to the fact that I incorporated the Tabata protocol into my workout. Here’s the rundown:
- Do as many reps as you can for 20 seconds
- Take 10 seconds to rest
- Repeat step one seven times
This set takes only 4 minutes to complete, and I was ready to throw up after only one set. But I soldiered on, and actually completed one set each of front squats, military presses, and barbell rows. I also used even lighter amounts of weight than I had been using for my Super Slow sets. The exercises were so intense that I had to give myself 4 days between workouts. I could barely make it up the stairs at work. I’m hoping the intensity will lead to a bigger weight loss number for next Monday. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Diet Highlights
Besides the self-sabotage with the Sam Adams Light, I also got off track on Saturday, and had a slice of pizza. My weakness. I’ll try to be a good boy this week, I promise. I’m shooting for a full-bore adherence to the Metabolic Diet.
Check back next Monday to see if I’ve made any progress!
