It’s the morning evening of Day 13 14 of my 31 Day Personal Fitness Challenge and I thought now would be a good time to give a recap of the previous four days…
But first, here are the links to the first two circuit reports:
Cycle 1 of the 31 Day Personal Fitness Challenge
Cycle 2 of the 31 Day Personal Fitness Challenge
Day 9
Probably the best picture so far. You can see a couple ribs on each side!
I discussed previously that there were some all day meetings that created an extra hurdle to my triathlon workouts that I wasn’t able to overcome. So there was a swim on this day, but not on the next two days. And I did not do a bike ride to and from work on any of the four days.
But I did stay true to cycle 3 of the 4×7, which are the The Bodyweight Exercise Revolution workouts. This being Day 1 of cycle 3, it was the zero-intensity range of motion workout.
Day 10
You can see Eyore taunting me in the lower left hand corner. That’s actually hurtful. Diet sucked on this day and the following. When you’re sequestered in a room for two days for meetings you tend to eat whatever shyt snacks somebody brought in to share (or at least I do). I remember longing for the time to swim or bike off the excess calories. Alas, life is not always perfect and neither am I.
DAY 11
This would be after the second full day of long meetings and crappy snacks at work. My lack of perparation with my diet is my downfall. I used to always say that I worked out hard so that I could eat whatever crap I want. That doesn’t work so good anymore when you’re in your late 30’s.
Day 12
Day 12 I was back in the flow and even got a Swim in. Looking forward to the next cycle so I can get back to biking and swimming regularly.
TACFit Commando is the next level of workouts from the developers of The Bodyweight Exercise Revolution workouts. I’ve been looking at the TACFit program and it looks very good, even includes diet recommendations, but the workouts are more advanced than where I am at now. So, until I work my way up….
I just wanted to add a note that I will going on vacation with my wife and the babies this Saturday and I will be gone for eight days. I’ll be scheduling ahead a few posts since I will actually have zero internet access where I’m going. In fact, I think it’ll be nice to unplug for a bit.
I’ll be just over the border in Fort Erie, Ontario (Canada) at the beach. I won’t be bringing a bike since I have two baby strollers to contend with along with untold amounts of baby stuff. I’m actually packed in one leather briefcase to compensate. I expect to get my runs (which is different that “I expect to get the runs”) in on this vacation and to practice some open water swimming.
Anywho, if you leave comments during that time, I’ll likely not be able to attend to them till I return. Very sorry but I’m not rich enough to hire email ninjas yet.
This also means that I won’t have any 31 Day Fitness Challenge updates till I get back either. But I look forward to keeping the momentum going and will report on my progress when I return.
