Got thru New Year's Day

Got through the New Year's Day workout and meals just fine. Got up to a 3.5 speed on the treadmill at a 10% incline at home, so broke a MILD sweat--I can probably push it up a bit, truthfully. I'll know that for tomorrow! After all the cake that was left out at work, and Dad's "Why are you eating a tuna sandwich when we have all this in the fridge (I did have a small portion of pork on a roll with 1 spoon of potatoes (mashed) along with 24 g of whey protein)" remark, I still feel like I got thru New Year's ok. (I had my tuna sandwich as meal #6, later last night.)
Tonight, back in for upper body.

Stay Strong,
Clint

So far, so OK...

On Tuesday, 12-30, I had a great workout, and the eating basically went the way it was supposed to. I hit the target weights for sure, but didn't push too hard. I had some neck and back stiffness, and had a pretty bad headache afterward. Dinner consisted of some Christmas leftovers, but even though it wasn't too lean(!!) it was a very small protion, with the rest made of lean protein and carbs.
New Year's Eve ended up being a bit rough, as the diet went pretty much down the drain, so it ended up being an unplanned free day. It wasn't a very big deal, though, since I just re-committed to getting it started back up today.
So far '09 has been a bit of a challenge. I got hit with some bank fees that may screw up my finances in the short term for sure..but what really surprises me is that I'm wanting to do what I NEED to do, instead of what I USUALLY do..that's a good thing!
Skipped the cake offered ALL DAY at work, stayed on the plan , and will hit the aerobics tonight. Still have to figure out what happened at the bank, but it will get done.

Stay strong,
Clint
