Day 6: Working through it.
Man, am i feeling it today. After the late night early morning combo, I felt like I was carrying around another 50 lbs. on my back. I had to take a nap, so I slept the rest of the late morning and early afternoon away. It was more important to me for this day to be rested and to perform well in the gym, than to get the laundry done.
Saturdays at the gym are great. There were about 20 people in the whole place including staff, so i was able to move around and get it done. I was still feeling the pain of Day 2's UBW, but I was able to push through a couple of 10s, and leave feeling proud and accomplished.
I was off of the thermodynamix on saturday and the absense of the caffiene ( I think) brought on a pretty good headache so I opted for some good nutrition, lots of water and some couch rest. I can take care of everything else tomorrow.
Saturdays are usually the one night my wife and i get to go out so we headed out to Disneyland like we do most weekends. In the past we'd usually eat inside the park or just outside, but I hadn't thought about what I was gonna do tonite.....PANIC! I didnt want to go into a cheat so i made a compromise. I had a turkey sandwich with swiss on squaw bread with mustard. Not too bad I guess. you do have to learn to live in the real world with real world circumstances.
All in all I'm pretty proud of the way I got through Week 1 despite some challenges. I'm gonna try and be sensible tomorrow...Mother's day. Can't avoid a cheat or two, but i"ll be sensible.
