The die is cast, I’ve thrown down the gauntlet – I’m in. What better day to make an Official Start on a new BFL Challenge but on the anniversary of D-Day.
“Do, or do not. There is no try”
~ Jedi Master, Yoda ~
The quote may come from a muppet in a sci-fi movie, but the words could not be more true.
I’ve been doing pretty good so far. I’ve been going to the gym – only missed 1 day since my last entry. I have been making the workouts intense and feel it. Keeping up with the 6-meals a day has been an issue. I’ve been getting at least 4 – but have been catching a fruit, or yogurt snack pretty regularly. I really do need to get more protein in my meals – time to get a new container of whey protein.
I had to use Sunday (6/3) as my free-day as we had a large family gathering to celebrate a bunch of birthdays, anniversaries and a graduation. I didn’t do too badly with the food, but definitely not BFL challenge level.
The gym finally has all of its equipment, weight plates and dumbbells. I’m still feeling my upper body workout from Monday. I’ve actually missed this sort of soreness – it means I’m making real progress. I like going to the gym, but I’m not one of those people that like to spend two hours there. I like following my BFL worksheet, and getting my workout done in the time goal set on the worksheet. I especially like the HIIT cardio training. It’s only 20 minutes, but I really feel like I got a great workout when I’m done.
I’m a history buff and D-Day has a lot of meaning for me. It’s the day the Allies turned the tide and saved the world from unimaginable tyranny. I am proud to have had the privilege of meeting and getting to know many fine men, who in their youth, landed on those beaches on that historic day to defeat the Axis powers. Most of them are gone now, but their deeds live on for an eternity.
