It reminds me of my flight training – the first flight instructor I got yelled at me in the plane, having explained nothing to me in advance. There hasn’t been much yelling with Steve, but he’s also not giving me a lot of data to start with. Diet, milestones, future plans – all a mystery to me. The timing worked out that I would need to start working out in the afternoons (for weight training – cardio is still in the morning every day), and Steve couldn’t do it then. So I decided to try someone new – Brandon Charls.<\/a><\/p>\n

We started by talking about how to eat in general – what to eat before and after workouts, general diet guidelines (the only eating for me after 6pm now is raw carrots and celery) and he even suggested – suggested – that I have a day of junk food to allow my body a bit of variation and my mind some reward for killing myself. Not sure I can go back to Del Taco ever again – but I’ll certain give a hamburger a try.<\/p>\n

Then came the workout. Harder. Much harder. Faster, more intense, and pushing myself to a level beyond what Steve ever did at his wost. Legs hurt for 3 days after. I’m glad. I’m not in this to be coddled. I want to get in shape, and as quickly as possible. Will post results in a month. Currently down to 227 (from 245), with 25% body fat (down from 31.1%) – but looking to get to 210 and under 20%.<\/p>\n

If I believed in God, I’d ask for prayers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
