Fitzness 2019 Week 1 Day 1 1-2-19

 Considering I cleaned out my shithole of a basement, I was able to get right back to it. I seem to have a sneezing fit each and every time I try to work out in the morning, but I got through it. Today was light - I don't want to get injured  - I mean, lets get real, I'm almost 46 and have fallen out of my optimal fitness zone.

Weight: 224.5    5'7"

Treadmill: 3mph  3% incline - 15 min (warmup)

Body squats, below parallel (as much as possible):

3x10 +2 (Started to feel a cramp brewing so I stopped)

Bench Press: Bar only (45lbs)
3x10

Overhead Press: Bar Only (45lbs)
3x8

Hammer Curls (20 lbs dumbbells)
5x10

I have a message for the resolution shamers: Screw You. To hell with you and your flat abs and smug demeanor. Just because fitness has been an obsession for you and not me, doesn't give you license to shit on my goals. Not that I care, but for the love, try and be supportive of people. Imagine a country where more people were exercising and eating right. Health insurance premiums would go down as the rate of obesity went down.

I am going to do my best to maintain my schedule, but I realize that life happens. I might catch a cold or have a bad night's sleep. I will adjust and continue without falling completely off the wagon. I plan on going 12 weeks and then taking a 2 week rest. I will gradually up my weights (progressive loading) and I will slowly increase my cardio. My body needs to adjust to this new lifestyle and I will not force it. My nutrition will gradually shift to whole foods and 85-90% clean. I will probably go for a 40/40/20 macro ratio, but I am not going to be insanely obsessed with it as I once was. I am going to be smart, determined and cautious. I will post my progress daily. I will also post when I have set backs. I don't want to have them, but I am going to be realistic and accept that it may happen. Here's to 2019, I hope you can follow in my journey.
