No not really...my first workout at OTF is done anyway. I didn't lose any limbs, end up in the hospital or collapse from exhaustion...so I think I'll try it again. Actually really like the format so MANY more to come. Since today was kind of getting to know how the class worked and what it takes to reach the 'orange zone', I signed up for tomorrow morning as well. If I really think I have a shot at winning local or national I am going to have to hit it pretty hard, at least as hard as my body lets me. Twenty years of drinking beer and eating..well..whatever I wanted has certainly caught up to me and not provided me the body ready for Olympic training.
I signed up for this thing over a month ago and at that time was ready to jump right in. However, the gym didn't open until today so it gave me some time to enjoy football season and bulk up a little (as if it was needed..it was fun though). I realized the last few days that it also gave me too much time to think about it, I was nervous leading up to todays workout. With el numero uno behind us I am certain that I can and will workout but am still a bit nervous about my diet and finding the will power that I will need. The good thing is I have a secret weapon, my wife. She has always been very conscious about what she eats. On our first date she had a 10 minute 'discussion' with the waiter about why she couldn't just get grilled chicken and steamed broccoli since both individual items are on the menu. I think she settled on a grilled chicken salad..minus the salad of course. Today I went for a bike ride around noon and came back to a very tasty and healthy chicken stir fry, perfectly portioned. Portions are to me like Kryptonite to Superman, I LOVE to eat and if it tastes good I want more, if there's a huge steak on the menu, bring it on..medium rare please. So Meagan is going to be my 'go to' in this department. I'm sure she'll have to put up with more than one occasion of my blood sugar getting low from eating like a bird and being a little 'cranky'. I'm sure she'll handle it just fine, she has experience in that department too. :)
More later.
