How To Get Ripped Abs Challenge – Day 15
Today is Monday day 15 on my How to Get Ripped Abs challenge and the beginning of week 3. I felt great after resting all day on Sunday and was really looking forward to my workout. I pushed all my exercises hard and worked up a great sweat. Once again I was hitting more reps on each exercise than I did the last day that I did this workout. It always feels good when you see the progress and numbers don’t lie. I feel like I have some great momentum now to carry me through the next 10 weeks. I plan on hitting my goal of losing 40 pounds and it is going to take focusing each day.
How to Get Ripped Abs has been easy to follow. As long as I keep my fridge stocked up with the foods I need its also easy to follow the eating plan. I haven’t experienced any hunger at all in the first two weeks and in fact have fallen short on most days at trying to get all of my calories in. When you eat a balanced meal that includes a lean protein, starchy carb, fibrous carb, and some healthy fats it’s amazingly satisfying and will keep you full for hours. I look forward to eating because I can create a lot of great meals to choose from with such a wide variety of foods.
I have to admit I did have a cheat meal tonight though because it was opening Monday night football and I was looking forward to seeing the Patriots play with Tom Brady back in the game. I had to enjoy some Monday night football with a little buffalo chicken and a beer. I did have a chance to go watch the Patriots training camp back in August since the stadium is only a half hour from where I live and got to see the players up close. That started getting me thinking that I wanted to get myself back in shape again. Being a former fit guy turned fat guy made me feel lousy as I watched the conditioning drills they were running. It was only a few weeks later that I discovered the How to Get Ripped Abs system and it was exactly what I needed. And the Patriots did squeak out a victory in the closing minute of the game so it was an all around good night with a cheat meal and an opening Monday night football win. I’m going to have to buckle down over the football season though and eat healthy. Drinking a few beers and eating buffalo wings while watching football is what got me into this poor condition in the first place. I need to remember that as temptation strikes every Sunday! Commitment to How to Get Ripped Abs will be my focus.
