Day 1 Recap
Day one is behind me. 83 days to go until I have completed Body For Life’s 12 week challenge. This will be the first of many recaps. The point of these recaps is to help me keep track of how I exercised and what I ate.

Over all it seemed like a week work out. I was barely sore and felt like I could have done a lot more. It will help when I have the barbell put together and get some more weights so that I can vary the amounts that I use.
Eating
I won’t bore you with the details of my eating plan. If you are familiar with teh concept of eating 6 times a day and not eating crap, you’ll get it. You should know, however, that I ate a cookie at a church gathering. I was weak.
That was Day 1. Not a bad start, I guess, but it will take some time for me to figure out my limitations and what to expect out of my workout. Day 2 Recap will be up in a while.
