Day One (Rich)

Day One (Rich)

Clearly, Ben is MUCH more serious about this than me with the talk of “delts” and “amino acids” and “supplements” and all.  Best of luck, sounds like you have a clear and defined plan.  I think what will make this interesting is seeing the three different approaches/perspectives to The Challenge.  My goals are modest.  I do not want to be fat anymore and I do not want to die because of a weight based issue.  I want to be around to annoy my wife and kids for a long damn time.  This is something controllable so I just need to start controlling it.    The workout will vary slightly day to day, but basically what I am doing is a warmup of stretching, crunches, and pushups followed by a 1/2 hour on the treadmill, then a battery of exercises on the home gym.  Weather and time permitting, the walking/running/jogging will be split from the workout sometimes.

 I also did a walk around the block with the family.  

Consumption was good.  An apple, a grapefruit, turkey on whole wheat for lunch and 2 small bean burritos (fat free refried beans/onions/cheese) for dinner.  A handful of chips and a peanut butter cracker.  

Oh and my 2 cokes…

and loads of water.
