Rest day today
Now you all have a record of my nutrition and workout plans for the next 2 weeks. Please hold me accountable to doing these things. I have read Adam's blog today and I'm trying to determine how to get 10 points out of this each day. I think I'm going with a similar strategy to Adam's. I will give myself 1 point for each meal (5 meals = 5 points), 1 point for meeting my water goal (1 point), 1 point for post-workout meal (1 point), 1 point for training (1 point), 1 point for accountability blogging/pictures (1 point) and 1 point for pre-sleep shake (1 point) for a total of 10 points. On the rest day, I will give myself points as follows: 1 point for each meal (5 meals = 5 points), 1 point for meeting my water goal (1 point), 2 points for having a rest day (2 points), 1 point for accountability blogging/pictures (1 point) and 1 point for pre-sleep shake (1 point) for a total of 10 points. I believe this will work, so it is the plan I'm going to stick to. There are 40 days until the end of my first mission (including February 3, 2008), so I will have a possible 400 points during this time period. Let's see how I do!
Until tomorrow...









Michael, good luck with the plan. I'll do what I can to check in daily to keep you accountable.

Hi Michael,
Wanted to tell you how good your video was...enjoyed it and wish you well on your journey. You really have the accountability down pat! Really will be able to keep up with everything so well. BTW, I have found several workouts that are wonderful, so please don´t bother with sending me other ones. These will last for years!
I´ll be back often to see how all is going. You´re going to do so well!
