More from my TT Members' forum TT Transformation Challenge thread, posted Sept 29th, all caught up now...

Finally! I made it through the first week of TT, the soreness is mostly gone and I can train harder! I've been chomping at the bit waiting for this week to get started so I could go through 3 entire circuits of the workouts instead of just one.

Well, like the title says, be careful what you wish for. Wow, that was a tough (good) workout. I completed 3 circuits of B5fFL Workout A this morning. I had to take a breather during some sets and I damn near fell off the bench after my very last SB jackknives, but I finished. Right now, an hour after finishing, my body still feels spent.

The biggest disappointment was seeing my gut sticking out with each DB squat I did. I know I let myself go this summer, but seeing that Buddha belly each time I squatted down really highlighted just how bad it was. The good thing about seeing Fat Bastard looking back at me in the mirror was that it strengthened my resolve to never quit at staying in shape so I never see him again.

I weighed myself this morning, right after waking up and I knocked 2 pounds off last week. I know I could have done better, but I'm still working at getting my diet really clean again. That, and I'm sure the camp out food didn't help. While I ate pretty good at this camp out (better than I have in the past few years), I still had some beer a donut, some candy, pancakes w/maple syrup, caramel dip for some apples. Like I said, not great, but better than before.

We did do a lot of hiking, according to my GPS I did 3 miles on Saturday, over rolling terrain. Add in some canoeing, climbing a rock wall and our traditional father's football game and I got a pretty good workout.

So, back to today's workout, here's what I completed in 25 minutes;
