First, I feel terrific. Knock on wood, I got through this five weeks with no injuries. No ripped hip flexors, no dislocated shoulders. There were times when I felt like the workouts were good, but not hard enough. There were times when my sweat just wouldn't come.
I have to keep reminding myself that these workouts are made so that every Phase is harder. When I jumped from Lean to Classic, I upped the ante so to speak. The only effect seems to be my electrolytes which appear to be taking a real hard hit from the workouts and diet. My diet is very clean and almost salt free. I also take in a lot of water. It would appear that as the water leaves my body, it is stripping me of all the electrolytes. I have started making sure that I replenish my salt reserves.
I am going to post new photos in about 4 days. That will be the true test of progress.
What does the next phase hold for me? I need to start Phase III tomorrow and slide my off week out a couple to accommodate a vacation at school break. This should be something. Anyway, my body has settled in, is changing nicely, and there are no damaging effects of the workout.
See you tomorrow!
