Nick: 27, 28 & 29 Recap - Beat, but NOT Defeated!

Day 27: Plyometric Cardio Circuit (6:30am)

...sigh... The kid kept the wife and I up pretty much most of Friday night (poor guy has some molars coming in) so, this was pretty much a forced workout.  Once I got through the warm up, I was in the zone and killed it!  (except for the dreadful Ski Abs and In-Out Abs... UGH!)  The wife and I ended up at two different parties during the day.  One was a 1 year old B-Day party and the other was a Halloween / B-day party.  I stayed strong and ate absolutely NO candy.  (I did have a few bites of B-day cake for a 1 year old party, though)  All in all, a pretty healthy day.  This completed week 4 of INSANITY!



Day 28: Day of Rest! 

I took a road trip to Columbus, OH on Rest Day in order to have Band Practice for a Benefit Concert I'm putting together and playing in this coming Thanksgiving holiday.  Again, I made smart decisions on what I ate, and drank water, water and only water.  During the night of my 13 month old son's first Trick 'r' Treating experience, I again had NO candy!  (thought the constant sight of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups made it rather tough)

Day 29: Core Cardio & Balance (5:30am)

Recovery week...

Well, this morning was a little rough.  (and this was before the workout)  For those of you that have been reading up on this entire blog, you all know that I had lost 12 lbs. in 3 weeks.  This morning, the weight loss was a big fat zero!  (but did not gain anything...)  I stayed put at 209.5 lbs. Now, I knew this week would come sooner or later.  I know I've been getting stronger and muscles are getting bigger and more solid.  So it was a matter of time before the loss of body fat would not be as high as previous weeks and the gain of muscle mass would outweigh things on the scale.  I just need to keep pushing hard and making sure I eat enough and drink enough throughout each day.  Here's to another of staying strong and making healthy decisions.

Until tomorrow...
