January 13 - End of Day 1
Just finished day 1. Kept on target with my diet. Ate everything I had planned and on time by taking meals to class and by spacing everything out accordingly.
Gym was great, and really refreshing. Doing some anatomical adaptation [high reps, low weight] for a few weeks to get myself back in the groove and will move on to hypertrophy later. I made sure I got my cardio in. I ran to the gym, and back, which is about 5km total. It was freezing! I live in Canada and it is really cold where I am now. I kept my rest intervals short to keep a good sweat up as well [bpm in fat burning zone according to my HR monitor]
So far, I am exhausted as my body seems to be in shock. I haven't been this tired in ages. This excites me, I can feel this will be a positive step in the right direction for my life. Changing just my diet and exercise regime will surely have a good impact on my sleep/school/study patterns as well. I look forward to keeping you guys informed and I look forward to Day 2.
