4/30/09 TNT Plan A Day 1

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

I’ve decided that I’m back on TNT for good.  1-1/2 years on the plan and I felt great.  Had tons of energy and could never stop.  I was motivated to work out and actually enjoyed working out.  I dread it every day now and I want that to stop immediately.  I’m back TNT Man!

Last night I got in a killer circuit RT workout.  The kind that I used to do.  I actually alomost lost my cookies towards the end. (obviously there weren’t any cookies in my system, but you get the point)  To cap that off I woke up this morning at took a run.  I never thought that I’d be up at 5:00 running in the morning.  I thought that people who did that were nuts.  Although I still hate running.

I went for another 5k run this morning.  I improved my time by a few seconds, which obviously makes me happy.  It is amazing to me how much harder it is to run in the warm humid 75 degree heat instead of the 30 degree air in the morning.  That was quite a challeng, but I ‘d better get used to it since spring is here and summer is around the corner.

I dropped some CE’s, but no biggie.  They weren’t anything major, but they were things that I can’t consider “good”.  My wife and I went out for dinner last night.  My meal wasn’t healthy, but I ate less than half rather thatn powering down the whole thing.  That was a HUGE accomplishement for me.  First time ever that I restrained myself at a restaurant when I started to feel like I was filling up.

Nothing really happened yesterday.  Just a normal day.

Had a decent RT last night, a great run this morning, and my Pens pulled off game 4 last night.  Hopefully they’ll clinch at home on Thursday.  I lost a clean eat last night.  My wife and kids were gone when I got home from work.  A few minutes later they arrived with pizza and DQ.  Oh well.  I only have a birthday once a year right?

Happy Birthday to Me!

No baseballmom, I didn’t run in the rain yesterday.  I did, however, get in some great high intensity cardio last night as well as a 2 mile run this morning.  Does stepping in a massive puddle count as rain?…..  That’s the only tough thing with running in the dark.

I dropped a clean eat last night.  It really wasn’t a big deal, and most people probably wouldn’t consider it as not clean eating.  Our neighbor brought over a roasted chicken with stuffing.  I had some stuffing as well as a root beer during dinner.  It’s not much, but still something that I shouldn’t have had.  It’s raining today and probably all week, so I guess it’s either run in the rain, or not hit my goal.  I’ll make a decision tonight if I’m going to take a stab at a couple of miles when I get home from work.

Had a decent RT session last night.  Nothing to write home about.  Today is probably going to be an “off” day depending on how I feel when I get home.  Clean eats are the challenge this weekend.

I got in a great anaerobic cardio workout in last night…..burpees, jump rope, heavy bag circuits.  I also woke up this morning and took a run before work, a horrible horrible run.  My time was fine, but I’m getting over being sick and it really kicked my butt.  Half way through I’m thinking “why am I doning this today?”, but it was worth it.  I’m going to try to get some RT in tonight.

Spring Challenge Start 4/15/09

I woke up this morning at 5:00 to go running and it was pouring down rain.  I guess when the kids go to  bed tonight I’ll have to get some kind of workout in, maybe RT and CT tonight.  We’ll see what happens.  I’m just excited to be back on track and working hard again.
