Check out Adams Pecs!
Week 5 is now finished, time is really flying, except when it comes to holding my body in PLANK position, then time seems to slow down and at some points during today’s workout, I was convinced it had stopped all together.
The work outs are definitely getting harder, and we’re focusing more on strength now then cardio. I’m still at 161 pounds, which seems to be a skinny as my body will go, so I guess my dream of getting down to my Bar Mitzvah weight is out the window.
The diet has become second nature for me…I whip up quinoa and protein shakes and salads in minutes, and always make 2 of everything for Katie to have too! She’s absolutely loving the diet and says I can never go back to bringing Oreo’s into the house ever again. Them is fightin’ words. But I obliged…hmrumph!
More videos to come!
Thinking about using this experience to launch me into a marathon training program and run the San Diego in early June, what do you guys think???
Week 1 & 5
by Rob on August 5, 2009
My legs hurt! We did this killer hamstring workout today. It wasn’t even that much but holy god, my legs burn. So I’m just two weeks in but already seeing results! How cool is that? Rob and I have locked down the 9am hour for working out 3 times a week. I initially thought the early time would be really hard for me because getting up is tough most days. Turns out it is hard for me cause of eating late at night. Christy has me not eating past 8pm and by 10:30pm I’m dead tired. But all day I have tons of energy from the early workout and multiple meals throughout the day. I got to say I give loads of credit to those folks who have to get up super early to workout before work, go to work, then go home and be with their kids. Here I am struggling with 9am cause of my love for late night food.
Anyway, I’m happy that I’m seeing results but still feel like the ultimate goal is far away and I have lots of work to do. I’m trying my best to not ”settle.” It seems easy to settle but at this point in my life that’s not good enough. I feel like my next challenge is to keep up with my workouts on the days I’m not with Rob. We have an in house treadmill which helps but I need to keep doing the early morning workouts so I don’t let the day get in the way and boy is that easy. Busy or not busy, sometimes 8pm roles up on you quick and you say, “where did the day go? I didn’t do this or that.” I hate that! And I feel like I spent the better part of my 20′s with that problem. So, no more wasting time. Workout in the morning, get on with my day and be productive!
As for my actual workouts, Rob keeps changing things up on me to keep me on my toes. I like that. We keep the same overall structure but each individual workout changes a little bit week by week. Last week it was one kind of squat, this week another. Makes it fun.
My eating was okay in week 2 until Christy and I had
the talk which was basically her sitting me down and saying, “Talk to me. I want to help you but you have to tell me what your feelings are around food.” For me, that’s a big one! But we got through it and it helped so much. To here more about my conversation with Christy surrounding food go to
