Mission 2, Day 100: The end...of Mission 2 that is!


That's right! Today was the last day of Mission 2 and it is also the reveal I promised. I've got M3 plans coming out tomorrow. The devil is in the details, so they say. The details will be forthcoming in tomorrow's post.
I had an awesome leg workout today. I had forgotten how much I enjoy working out my body in a split type of way. I am able to go all out with my legs and later I can go all out with my upper body. It is awesome!
I've been reflecting on several things today. I cannot believe that I've finished 2 missions of 100 days in length each. I've managed 200 straight days of blogging and picture posting. I've learned that being disciplined about my blogging has made me disciplined about other things. I've tried so many different ideas and studied the results. It has taken me close to 200 days to figure out what works for me and now I'm forging ahead with the methods I believe will work the best for me.
There have been alot of wonderful connections made during the past 200 days. I can't imagine what this journey would be like without the support of the following people:
Mike: Aussie Bodybuilder
Kali Lilla: My Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Christy: You Are Enough
Joni's: Nana Korobi Ya Oki
Lynda: 130 On My Way
Suzette: Quest for Success
Debbie: Can We Talk
and of course,
Adam: RTP Blog 2.0
While there are many of you who comment and lend your support, the people above have been here with me pretty much from the beginning. I appreciate all the support and encouragement I've gotten from them throughout this journey. There is no turning back now. I am determined to finish the job I started 200 days ago.
Starting tomorrow I will have time machine entries. These entries will help to show the progress I've had over the past 200 days.
To everyone who comments on this blog: I love each and every one of you! Thank you for your kind and generous support.

Great to see the end result of all your hard work during Mission 2! Your dedication is inspiring. I'm really looking forward to seeing your plans for M3. I'll also be watching out for you Time Machine entries as well. I reckon it is great fun seeing where we've come from.

I forgot to ask - Is that a deadlift scar on your shin?
Reply to this
Yes, that is definitely a deadlift scar and a nasty one at that! I pretty much ripped open my leg during some heavy deads!

CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL!!! I'm so glad I got to "be here" for Day 200, because I totally missed Day 100. Your hard work has surely paid off. The time machine is going to be so fun, and yours will be particularly awesome, because you have done so well with posting daily without fail.

Woohoo! The big reveal is finally here. First, congrats on 200 day of daily pics & posting. What a huge milestone. You definitely look thinner in your new photo. Your skin is looser around your mid section. Looking forward to seeing your stats.
