My first challenge of the new lifestyle popped up on Thursday as a work function brought be to a lakehouse where my only option for survival was becoming a Terminator. I wrote about the whole thing here, but the gist of the story was I had to estimate and pick and choose from the provided food to keep within my calorie limit.

The first day of cardio...and I'm not allowed to do cardio!

After a successful day 1 in the weight room I found myself right back again on Tuesday. Only this time I didn't really have anything to do! I couldn't do any leg work on the machines due to my recently surgically repaired knee. I couldn't run. I couldn't do anything!

I love the first day of the gym!

After a whole summer of getting fat it is time to go back and see all your old pals again. The bench press. The barbells. Even that annoying kid, the pullup bar is a sight for sore eyes (and sore arms).

On the eve of the first day of gym I did all the right things. I got everything prepared before bed. I turned off my laptop an hour before sleep. I read a book. I didn't even watch the Walking Dead spinoff premier.  I took a Tylenol PM for a slight assistance and got to bed by my brand new bedtime, 10pm.
