Day 2

Woke up a little stiff this morning from yesterday's workouts.  The chest/pecs and elbow tendons seem to be the most sore.  Ripping out over 180 pushups yesterday didn't help that cause at all!

Did the full Mobility Matrix this morning which helped loosen things up a bit.  Feeling some compression in my left and right lower back areas.  Iu think some foam rolling should help with that.

Completed the Meltdown which was a touch easier today given that I utilized all 4 pairs of exercises rather than just pushups and squats.  It's a great way to get the metabolic engine going in a quick 16 minutes.

ICP completed in a time of 2:22 today which was 13 seconds faster than initial baseline.  I attribute most of that time improvement to less fatigue (baseline was set after 1 minute of each exercise) and slightly better execution of the russian twists.

Power Circuit completed.  Not too bad.

Good meals today with steel cut oats/blueberries for brecky, baked mahi mahi on indian rice for lunch.

Dinner out with some friends was my first test of the program out in a social situation.  Not drinking was actually pretty easy and I just had seltzer water and later some lemon water.  My meal selection was actually pretty easy as we went to Lola's in the Lower Highlands which has a great menu for the program.  Enjoyed some tableside prepared guacamole and had Lamb Albondigas (meatballs) served with roasted vegetables and a delicious white bean ragout.

Supplements before bed along with some Tulsi tea to relax and unwind a bit.
