Day 4

Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price. - Vince Lombardi

Welcome back to another exciting addition to the blog. Let me start off by saying I really appreciate all of the followers and comments I get. Whether they are followers or just simply read the link, I am getting a lot of people that hit me up about my blog. Good to know there are a lot of people that "got my back".

Anyways, it was a pretty nice Saturday. Started off with Crossfit, which was the hardest workout I've done so far. Let me see if I can explain this, we broke off into partners and I was with my buddy Zach Mariacher, who is a fellow Villanova Football Alum. So I had to run 1/2 mile, and Zach had to flip a HUGE tire as many time as he could while I ran the 1/2 mile. Then we switched, Zach ran and I flipped the tire. We added our tire flips together and then, without break, I went back to run another 1/2 mile, while Zach did 50lb Kettle bell Swings. A kettle bell swing is you take the kettle bell in both hands, get into an athletic position, let the kettle bell hang between your legs, and then you thrust your hips forward, raise the kettle bell over your head, and then bring it back down. After I finished my 1/2 mile, I grabbed the kettle bell from Zach, and he went on his run, and I did as many kettle bell swings as I could. As soon as he got back, I went off on my last 1/2 mile, and Zach did as many burpees as he could. A burpee is where you stand up, drop your hands to the ground, kick your feet back, do a push up, then jump up and clap your hands overhead. As soon as I came back, I did my burpees while Zach did his 1/2 mile. That was the end of the workout, and it only took about 20 minutes, but man was I spent.

Anyways, here is my lineup for the day:

Breakfast:
2 Hard Boiled Egg Whites
Handful of Blueberries

Lunch:
Delicious Mexican Salad, which contained lettuce, grilled chicken, peppers, onions, salsa and guacamole
Fresh Fruit Mix with Pineapples and Grapes

Snack:
Handful of Almonds

Dinner:
2 Pieces of Pecan Crusted Tilapia topped with Organic Salsa
Sweet Potato with Cinnamon
1/2 Cup of Broccoli

As you can see, my meals were a lot better today, and take one guess why. Megan was back, so she really took it to a new level. All of my Villanova buddies are in town tonight, so we are all going out, so it will be tough to not drink, since everyone else will be. My trainers will be there tonight, and they already said I'm allowed to drink if I'd like, but we'll see. When I start something, I like to go balls to the wall.

Have a great Saturday.
