Challenge Four: Day Twenty-Five

Cleansing/Fasting today and tomorrow.

Will resume normal diet on 9/30/13.

State of Being: Feeling pretty good.

I’ve decided to fast this weekend. Just trying to do a bit of a cleanse & purify on my system. I’ll pick up with my normal diet again on Monday. Then, on Wednesday of this week, I’m going to be going forward with… let’s call it “Take Two” on my 30 Day Leg-Blitz.

For those who don’t know, this is something I tried to do earlier this year and I ended up injuring myself (unrelated to the work-outs) so I had to stop.

I’ve revised the work-outs to a somewhat lower intensity. Here’s the new plan.

(The "walks" are my ubiquitous dumpster-laps, wherein I walk back and forth from my apartment door, to the building's dumpster.)

This is a much more sane and reasonable version from what I was trying back in February. The goal isn’t “Full Upright Mobility” this time either. I’m convinced that that particular goal is going to be a matter of weight more than anything else. This time, the 30-Day Leg Blitz is simply a base, strengthening and working of my legs as part of my current 90-Day Challenge (Challenge Four) for which the goal is to lose 100 pounds.

See you tomorrow!
