Day 36: Chris

Well, I feel like I should write a little about what is going on. This week I will be doing the 5k. One thing I am sure of is that I will be walking more than I will be running. The last couple of weeks I have done outdoor jogging and walking to get ready, and it is just not the same as doing cardio at the gym. Fat people are just not suppose to run! Haha.

I've kinda jumped ship on the Body for Life plan. It requires a huge lifestyle that I just am not able to do right now. It can't be a top priority for me on top of ministry and school work. So basically I am adapting the principles and fitting it into my life. The hardest thing is trying to manage 6 mini meals. So I am back to normal eating, but still eating the kinds of food that Body for Life suggests. I am actually doubling up on the exercise. You are supposed to rotate upper body muscles, cardio, lower body muscles, cardio. Now I am doing the cardio everyday and rotating the muscle groups from day to day.

I can definitely feel the difference. I can feel my muscles taking shape. I think one of the reasons my pounds aren't shedding off as quickly as I would like is because of the intense weight workouts. But anyways, as of yesterday I was down eight pounds. Not to shabby!

Thanks for all the support guys!
