Ask and you will receive, I decided to post two pictures of me today, one if from before I started losing weight and what I consider to be the largest I have even been in my life. The other if from easter this year, I know you can't see any muscle build or anything like that in the picture but like I said in my comment yesterday I can give a before and during shot, the after shot will come when I have finished my goal and have the build I want. Now that you have seen the pictures let me tell you a little bit about how today went. I work up a few minutes sooner than I normally would so that I could get started on Stretch X an abs early to give me enough time to go out and run for a little bit. The alarm went off and that is exactly what happened. I went right to the office and put my DVD's in (I put one in each computer to save a little time) I started off with Stretch X and really had to work to get loose, for some reason I was not very limber to start. Once I finished I went directly into ab ripper x. I did the same thing with the weights this time as I did the last time I did the workout an only this time with the leg climbers I didn't grab my leg at all and I still held the weight. I am pretty sure I got a good workout this morning with that. When I finished I put on my running shorts and shoes and made my way outside. I decided to go a full lab round my neighborhood and another lab around the block which turned out to be about 2.2 miles. I finished in 20 minutes so I was running an 8.5 minute mile. One thing I noticed while running is that strength training really does take a toll on your cardio endurance, the first mile of a run is always the most difficult in my opinion but today's first mile just seemed really hard. It looks like if I don't want to lose my cardio endurance while on this muscle building plan I am going to need to suck it up and do a little more running than I have been doing. I will work on that next week don't you worry. I don't think that I have mentioned it yet but I am considering becoming a beach body coach, it only costs $40 dollars and gives you the ability to make a few extra bucks if you put forth the time. The extra money would be nice but I am more interested in doing it for the same reason why I have been writing this blog for the last year and a half or so. I would like to help motivate and encourage people that want to get in shape as well. I figure if I can do it and have the results I have had anyone else that is willing to put in the work can too. I guess I have some thinking and research to do on that before I make my decision but if I decide to do it I will let everyone know. Until next time
