You don’t need to compare your schedule to mine. I am purposefully throwing myself against a brick wall. I used to be addicted to exercising and would work out for about half my waking day. Also, I was a soldier, so my overall physical health is slightly better than a civilian (not trying to sound pompous, it’s one of the “joys” of Basic Training). Otherwise, right now my cardio involves an aerobics video and an hour-and-a-half of walking.

As for the full day off, that is my Sunday schedule. All it involves is walking and the stretching video. I can also take things easy when I need to. My plan is that if I miss 2 days, I repeat the week. So, I can technically take a single day off from exercising each week (though, I wouldn’t lie to myself like that).

As for the nutrition, I’ll be going into that in a later entry, but I will say that I am taking some supplements. They include a multi-vitamin, a protein shake after the main exercise, and a creatine monohydrate tablet. Otherwise, I can’t take normal supplements because of the way they affect my body, or rather don’t affect my body.
