Day of rest and preparation.

I have been looking into several programs to follow in this quest to get my weight under control. One suggestion in nearly all is that I take one day a week as a "day off." A day I do not have to focus on keeping everything in check. In the past when I worked on using these couple of programs, I found it very helpful and actually not wanting to"go hog wild" all day long.

While I take today off, and I usually plan it around days my team has a game, I nap, snack and recuperate from the week's work. Today however I am searching for a plan to incorporate weight lifting into my regiment. Understanding weight lifting plans and the jargon is a bit like trying to comprehend Klingon: sets, reps, max weight.

I fear this part as I don;t like those first day lifting when It causes muscle soreness and aches. I am telling myself that I will be easing myself into these workouts, much the same way I am gradually going to be increasing my running time and distance.

To compensate ie: get out the door, am cleaning part of the house. This is bigger than it sounds and I am usually not allowed to clean several areas around the house. It appears that I don't clean deeply enough ... two possible causes first I'm guy and I don't like to clean messes I didn't make, secondly I don't clean very well (this may or may not be intentional).

Tomorrow it is back to work and stopping at the gym on the way home.

Good luck getting out the door!
