Body For Life Update- Week 2

So, I had a bit of a setback last week. The Body For Life folks will tell you that these are going to happen (of course they are), but it's how you deal with them and work around them that makes you stronger. I was playing basketball on Wednesday and rolled my ankle. Painful? A touch, but more annoying than anything else. Regardless, I'm back to business this morning, strong like bull.

Given that this was a leg-heavy workout week (5 out of 6 workouts involved the legs this week), I was shelved. I stuck to the nutrition for 5 of the 6 days, Saturday being the exception, because when Judy Moreau cooks lobster, shrimp and scallops for your birthday, well, you don't turn it down. The workouts were going swimmingly, with every max being hit. In lieu of a gym workout, I stayed busy with the pushup pro, purchased via the internet last week. Gotta do something.

I'm finding it very difficult to keep in line with all of the requirements of the program, but like an alcoholic, it's important to take this thing one day at a time and wash away the thought of the big picture. This is an undaunting task as it is, without the burdening thought of the effort to be exerted for the next ten weeks and counting. With that said, I will try to make it through today unscathed and see what tomorrow holds tomorrow.

This, perhaps, is an artificial poundage tally, given that I had my fair share of wine last night, courtesy of a dinner party, and I believe all of the water may be sucked from my body right now. However, I'll take it with the knowledge that next week will be a disappointment.

Week 2 beginning weight: 183.8
Week 2 ending weight: 179.2
