So today’s the first day of Phase 4. Met my trainer today, after getting into the gym really early… good guy. Knows his stuff, and I’m sure he’ll be kicking my ass soon enough.
Today was a meet and greet – trying to focus on form. We caught up, learnt about each other, and prepped things for Thurs. I’m feeling good about it.
I’ve started my nutrition plan – right now I have my chicken fried rice that I cooked yesterday – quite yummy! And warmed up nicely in the microwave!
One thing I’m going to remember is One Moment At A Time / One Day At A Time. Focus on the moment, not the larger picture. Each day I commit and meet my goals – both training and nutrition (as well as meditation / spiritual), the better focussed and happier I’ll be. Can’t forget that. Bigger picture at this precise moment.
Gym experience was good… walking up there, going in to work, showering, training… it also wasn’t very busy, which I really appreciated.
So – day 1 has started… and so far, so good. Bring it on.
Oh – and PS – discussed with Adrian (trainer) about how many workouts, frequency, etc… and we’re looking at 3 a week to start off with. Giving the body time to adapt, and sufficient time to recover. That may change, but that’s the plan for now. We’ll see how it evolves.
