Day Two

Day 2

   Yesterday was the first day I drank nothing but water all day long, in over 5 years.  This morning I was groaning, but I slept very well last night.
   Today was "Cardio," I did alright on the Kempo/Karate stuff because I used to do Tae Kwan Do kickboxing, and the rhythm just felt natural.  However, I have virtually no core strength, I suffered through the majority of those exorcises.  The "wacky jumping jacks" burn, I love 'em!  I was working out on my mat on top of carpet, and my feet still were under stress.  I might need to look into getting different footwear soon.  Also, my heart rate managed to peek at 174!
   Diet was a blast today, broke out my chop sticks and had some baked chicken this morning.  Snacked on some protein bars and managed to limit my carbs to a single pita.  I came up with a great peppered-steak salad recipe for lunch, and had a couple of lean burgers with no bun for dinner.  Celebrating the small successes!
