Nick: Day 47 through 59 Recap - There is no finish line...

I am going to start this post off with an apology.  Sorry for being away from the blogging world for well over a week now.  Things have been pretty crazy and busy at both work and home.  I will start off by saying I did miss 2 workouts during week 8.  The two were Day 53 (Max Recovery) & Day 55 (Max Interval Sports Training). In addition to that, I totally half-assed Day 54 (Max Interval Circuit) as this was a super long day and knew I'd be out and up until close to 3:00am.  My diet was not spectacular (but not horrible) as I was off work the whole week.  I did have a couple pop's and a few beers.  (Shame on me)  I almost made it through 9 whole weeks without either of them.  


I am not going to give a detailed breakdown of each day, but below you will see my weekly weigh in and 4th Fit Test results...


Day 50: Fit Test #4 & Max Interval Circuit (6:30am & 2:00pm)


The fourth Fit Test was a great one.  I had so much energy this time around, I destroyed some of my previous numbers.  (let's hope I feel the same way on the final Fit Test on 12/5/2010)

As of Monday (November 29th) I am down a total of 18 lbs.  Not too bad for 8 weeks in my opinion.  Here are my weekly weigh in results...

As I stated in the header of this post... There is no finish line.  This is the frame of mind that I'm in. Now, there may be finish lines in goals, but not in what I'm working at.  I'm currently in a new lifestyle.  My diet is going to be forever changed. Will it always be 100%?  Hell no. But I now know what's good for me and what my body can and cannot handle.  INSANITY is just the beginning.  I am officially going to start P90X on Monday, December 13th which gives me an end date of March 14th.  I will be keeping this blog running, but I'm going to step it up a notch.  I'll be adding at MINIMUM, one video per week.  Going to get a little more up close and personal with my fitness development.  I have some large fitness goals for 2011, and I'm not waiting for the 1st of the year to get started.  

Tomorrow is Max Interval Sports Training.  This is a sweat inducer for sure!  (which makes it great fun).  See you all tomorrow.  I promise!
