Day 90: Home Stretch?

Why do you mock me, cameraman? WHY?!

The last big stretch is coming up for the Evolution Program.  Will be meeting with Tyler for training and getting some final nutrition recommendations before heading into this home stretch.  It feels like a home stretch, though it definitely isn't the end of my continuing evolution.  Have gone through a great deal so far and am looking forward to the final reflection and see what's changed overall--both physical and mental.

Intern year is still going strong, but so am I.

Day 73: Pilgrim's Progress

I fill my bag with snack bars, too!

Last day of another week of nights.... and what better way to cap it off than with an intense training session with Tyler?  


Did some really great new stabilization workouts today that involve just about every muscle AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.  Great challenge!  Also had a chance to do some freeweight basics which was a fantastic way to switch things up and rekindle some nostalgia for my previous workout routines.  


All in all, having had such a bizarre schedule for the last several weeks, it was cemented in my head just how important it is to have a trainer with a relatively flexible schedule...especially when you know that your work schedule makes about as much sense as going the wrong way down a two-way street.

Day 67: The Nocturnist

Creepy?  Or just fortuitously peaceful?

I start back on nights this weekend, and while it put my most active hours during the times that most people are asleep it really opens up the opportunity to do things during the day before and after my shift... mostly because it's during regular business hours.  What that means:  I get to work out more regularly during the week AND have more opportunities to train with Tyler.  The last week of night shifts I was able to sandwich a shift with workouts.  I may try and do that this time to maximize the number of times I get to work out and really gain the maximum benefit from my sleep during the day.  If anything, it'll help make sure that my sleep during the day is just that much more restful.  Looking forward to it!
