This was an interesting week.  Marie had surgery on Monday, and I spent my week taking care of her and playing Nurse Josh, so I worked out a total of zero days.  I did my best to eat as well as I could, but it was by far the worst week since starting this.  I definitely appreciate how much time Marie has put into taking care of both of us on the nutrition side of things (among many other things that she does as well).  In no way could I possibly do this by myself.  So a big thank you goes out to my beautiful wife for helping me through this.  She is pretty amazing.

However, that being said, I still managed to lose 1.5 lb.  I think that can be attributed to kicking my butt the past 6 weeks so that I have built lean muscle and my metabolism has dramatically increased.  My body was just doing it’s thing, and it worked wonderfully.

Today is day 43 of Power 90, which means I’m nearly half done with the initial program.  Even though I didn’t work out at all last week, I moved up to Level III-IV on the videos, and I have to say…it completely kicked my butt today.  I had no clue how increasingly hard it was going to be jumping up to the next level.  I have no idea how I finished it.  I have to say though, I am really excited to see my Day 60 and Day 90 pictures because there is no way that there won’t be a dramatic difference after seeing what I’m going to be doing for the next month and a half.  If I can stick with this closely, it ought to really whip me into shape.  Now I know why people say they can see the most dramatic results in the last 30 days of the program!  Bring it on!
