The Test (Day 1)

Today marks the first day of starting a pretty insane workout plan. I can't say the exact plan that I am on for fear of possible copyright issues that could possibly arise. I'd rather just play it safe and keep this blog product free. But I can't stress enough how insane this workout regiment is. Hopefully I can give an accurate account of my experience, doing my best to stay strong with food, workouts, and the like.

The first part of the process was to put together a food plan. Using a rather complicated formula, I was suggested to eat around 2250 calories a day to loose a healthy amount of weight. The formula could be broken down into simply multiplying your body weight x 14. I dropped down to 2,000 to hopefully give me a little better result by only skipping out on a snack a day. With that in mind, I'm still going to allow myself 2250 but my personal daily goal is 2000 with a little spill over for small things I may not account for (i.e. I wont be doing exact food measurements).

With that accomplished the workout could begin. The first day seemed rather easy. It's meant to be. The first day's activities involve simple activities for you to attempt to do as many as you possibly can. The point is to track progress over the course of the program. I had been actively at the gym but have had at least a month off from some illnesses so this was essentially a fresh start. I was surprised at how much I could beat myself up. In what I can assume is the easy set for the course, by the end I was very exhausted. However, I liked my numbers and they sounded pretty close to compete with those in the program and what they started at.
