Updates - Luke

Howdy team. Luke has been having trouble posting so I am going to put his previous posts up there for him. Here is how he has been doing:

Blog one,
So the first week is down and I think the biggest challenge wasgetting past the soreness and used to a particular routine. To bequite honest I thought it would be harder, but it goes to show that ifyou really want something, and I want results, then finding the motivation to get there will be easy.
I tried to look down the road and see what it was I really wanted. Once I had that in mind it was a matter of figuring how I would attain my personal goal. The meditation part was probably my hardest part ofall this... like everyone else I have a million things running through my head constantly, and trying to block it all out or put it on hold to find some peace and relaxation was difficult. I am seeing a chiropractor and to be honest I have had better nights sleep since and it has helped in the soreness too which in turn has helped me stay relaxed and find some of that peace we all need.
I admit I did not do to well managing what I ate this week, but I did eat healthy. How much I ate though is a different story and maybe my regulation in portion control could be a challenge itself.
Overall It was a good week, and I am excited to see where this takes me. Good luck to everyone!

Blog two
So week two was a gut check....I got the flu and was out of commission for a few days. I ate healthy (when I could stomach to do so), and really didn't spend a lot of me time finding inner peace as much as I did sleeping. Motivation was a factor too in the sense I only worked out twice this week, but did stretch everyday. I feel better now going into the weekend so week three will be much better.

Blog three
So I have stepped up my workouts quite a bit. Loving every minute of it too. I hit the gym in the morning and do a light workout in the afternoons. The chiropractor three times a week, found meditation in the park, at the beach and in the sauna are great places, and its really becoming easier to block things out...maybe all it took was practice and the willingness to let things go. Saturday morning I ran the paracourse in Mission bay park, and combined with the healthy eating I feel better than I have in a long while. Oh, and the fact I cut out the partying really helps too.
This is really becoming an enjoyable experience!

Blog four
So keeping up with everything and even got in a hike...although I did slack on the cardio a bit...oops! That's ok though...I have accepted that you need to give yourself a little bit of leeway in this challenge so not to burn out! I think everyone is doing great and hopefully having as much fun as I am.... I will see at tomorrows paracourse if I am improving when we update and at the one month mark. Writing this today because I will be pretty busy this weekend otherwise I would have commented on my progress. Wish me luck!
