Today was very similar to yesterday. Breakfast was egg whites, turkey sausage, whole grain toast and potatoes. Lunch was sushi again and dinner was a chicken salad no dressing.
After training was over I came straight back to the hotel and talked to my wife, Happy, for a little while before getting on a board meeting conference call. Lots of fun developments there. I stuck around on the call for the two voting issues and then dropped off because I know I will lose motivation if I were to stick around for the three hours of the meeting or however long it took. I will read through the minutes to see if I missed anything when they come out. Sorry if anyone is reading this on the board for leaving early but I have to stick to my personal challenge.
After the meeting I went down to the hotel gym and went straight to the elliptical machine. I did a 30 minute workout and 2.27 miles. I need to keep improving that mileage number. The thing about running with no TV or music is it gives you time to think. Since this is an 100 day thing I figured I will do the first 40 days in the gym to get somewhat back in shape before finishing out the last 60 days with Insanity.
Yes I am going to try Insanity again but this time maintaining my diet of low carb, sat fat, and cholesterol diet. Last time I did Insanity I got about 20 or 30 days in and injured myself. One because I went straight into it while out of shape and secondly for doing it with out shoes. Proper footwear may have prevented me from pulling a leg muscle. This time I will be ready :)
Also tomorrow I am going to start using my Ipod as a pedometer. I have meant to do this for the last two days but have forgot it in my car both times. Hopefully I will remember tomorrow. Since the first 40 days are going to be strictly gym time I have also figured the first 20 I will do one a days and the last 20 (of the 40) to two a days. Yep workout before and after work. It is definitely going to kick my butt but I need it. That is what its all about.
On a side note I have also started taking a pill on the recommendation of my brother Hunter. Folic Acid with DHA. One pill contains folic acid, B-12 and Omega-3 DHA (Fish Oil). According to him this should help with my cholesterol. I know the fish oil helps with cholesterol but according to my kid brother folic acid and sometimes drop it by 30% in just a few months. Here's to lowering my cholesterol.
Also I want to thank Happy, for sending out that e-mail today. If you are reading this thank you for following my blog. Encouragement is welcomed from all. That's it for today. Cheers!
