Rest day done and it was a leg day today. Needless to say I am completely useless right now, if there were a fire I would just take the tan. That was my first leg day with weights in a long time. I have a feeling it will be a long weekend. Other than that I am slowly but surely making a really positive turn around. I can feel my body responding to the better diet I am eating. It seems as if I recover faster, big time. I’m really glad I have this gym, it isn’t too big and there aren’t that many people there when I go so it seems as if I have it all to myself. Nothing much to write about tonight as you can see though this blog is coming in late. It’s late because like I said it was my first leg day in a long time and I pretty much have been passed out for most of the evening. Hopefully that’s just my body fixing itself.

I am completely beat today, I haven’t been this sore in quite a while. It was tough getting out of bed today so I got up later than I wanted to, thank goodness for the gym. I went to the gym as by the time I got up I felt 98 degrees was too hot to go outside and do 3 miles in, at least for right now. Even though I am super sore and seemingly out of energy I think a lot of it is in my head as I am getting rid of the junk food that is in my diet and going the natural route. I did well last night as I have a bottle of Minute Maid fruit punch in my fridge and for whatever reason last night I really wanted to drink some. I didn’t so I passed that test. I’m on day two of the detox and I am thinking it will get easier to stay away from the junk the longer I stay away from it, if that makes any sense. I still have to get to the grocery store again to buy fish and nuts. I’m staying away from the dirt nuts and sticking to the tree nuts as apparently the tree nuts are the ones that are much better for you. I didn’t go after my workout today because of how tired I was but right now I am not feeling too bad (when I started to write this blog I felt drained) and later on I may be even better. I just have to make sure to fuel my body at the proper times, come to think of it this morning I didn’t and that’s probably the reason I was out of energy. Another successful day in the bag, tomorrow scares me a little as I have some mileage to put in and a leg workout. With Wednesday being my leg workout days I can see them being my hardest day of the week for a while.

So much to write today and so little energy to do it. I really worked myself good in the weight room today, I did an upper body workout. Wednesday will be legs, oh boy. I went to the grocery store afterwards and I could tell my body was really starting to crave some sugar. I went the natural way and ate some strawberries, they worked like a charm. I got some great advice on Saturday night about what to have in your diet and today I took the first step in making that change. I’ve been in quite a slump and today I felt like if I didn’t go and do what I am supposed to do I will never get there, so I went out and did it. It was great, I’m looking forward to Wednesday. I began keeping myself a diet diary to keep myself honest and to tweak some things in the diet if I feel that is needed. Maybe when it’s all said and done it’s something I can post on the website, we’ll see. I shot a quick little video today and I will do that a few times a week so that come September I have trouble figuring out what footage to put in the video. The soreness from the weights is starting to kick in already and tomorrow’s stretching routine should be quite interesting. I’m taking this one day at a time and everyday i want to be in the win column, today I am and I plan on being there tomorrow as well. Today was a huge step.
