Day 1

Hey Everybody! Today starts day 1 of my new program and I'm ready to go! It's about 06:45 here and I'm going to try and get half of my stuff done now and then half after I get out of work. I've decided that I'm going to post the whole day's workout in the morning and then talk about how it was at the end of the day. So today is primarily focused on upper body and core, with a swim and a run thrown in. Here it is.

Workout:

500yard swim

500yard ballbusters

1minute plank with 30 seconds rest x 10

15setsx20 pushups

4setsx12 pullups

15setsx15 dips

3 mile run

To explain further, I'm going to get the swim and core portion out of the way this morning and then around 6PM I'm going to run and get the bodyweight movements done. What "Ballbusters" are, are a set that I used to do with my highschool swim team that ss were you swim 1 lap, do a pushup. You then swim back down and do 2 pushups and then 3 pushups, 4 pushups and so on. Since its 500yards, that's 20 laps so it should be about 210 pushups all together. 

For the core I believe it'll be challenging but nothing that I cannot handle. I don't know what to expect today of the bodyweight potion. Mostly because I've been so weight oriented for the past year or so.but I guess the only way I'll find out is to do it! The 3 mile run I'm going to shoot for mid 20's and hopefully I can achieve that. Anything below 21 I will be happy with.

For my dieting, I'm going to eat 4 eggs after my workout today, I'm going to be pack some pineapple for lunch with 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and drink lots of water. I'm going to try and shoot for a gallon a day. I have a nalgene water bottle with the measurements on the side so it will be easy to track. Dinner wise will probably be some form of chicken and a vegetable. I'll count my calories and get a rough estimate of my fat/carbs/protein intake. 

Alright I'm to head out and get this done! I'll post again in the evening for post workout thoughts on day 1 and how it went. And any changes to my diet and what I ended up eating all together. Have a great day!
