Day 76 and 77 Recap

Weekends are always an interesting time when it comes to maintaining a healthy diet. Between visits with friends/family and the overall feel of a more relaxed mindset, it is definitely easier to come across food that is not the most healthy option.

This weekend was actually the opposite though. We had no plans with family or friends and really just had a dedicated weekend at home to spend family time together. I did have one business appointment on Saturday but it was only for a few hours. The time at home gave me a chance to properly plan out each meal. Other than some nachos on Saturday and Sunday night, I was really good at maintaining a healthy diet.

Another thing I have implemented for the remainder of this challenge is to remove all coffee intake. I have not had any coffee since last Wednesday. I was having as many as 3 cups a day and I did not like the habit I was getting into. I am already noticing a difference after a few days off the coffee. I feel like I digest my food better and I don't get the tired feeling after the caffeine wears off. Once the 90 day challenge is over, I will probably allow myself to drink coffee on the weekends only. Again, it is all about moderation.

For my fitness regimen, it was the same as previous weekends. I did a basketball workout on Saturday where I was able to do about an hour of running, jumping and jump shot practice. Tonight, Sunday (Day 77) it was game 4 of my Sunday Night Men's Basketball League. Unfortunately, our team lost once again to drop to 1-4 on the season. We played probably the best team in the league tonight and despite being up by 2 at halftime, we ended up losing by over 20 when all was said and done. Our team still has lots of work to go to improve our play as a cohesive unit.

Either way, I had a lot of fun and go a great workout for Day 77 of my challenge.

The final 2 weeks of the challenge are starting. I am going to kick it up a notch this week with a very strict diet and increase the intensity of my workouts. I also have my camera back so the daily photo of my upper body phsyique qill proceed starting tomorrow.

2 weeks and counting...
