Blog #2

          The project is going well so far. I have all of my workouts planned out for the rest of the year (listed below) and I am doing a good job staying on track with the workout routine and diet. When it comes to my workout routine, I have both been getting stronger and looking/feeling more in shape. But something I could work on is my cardio, because lifting just mainly helps your strength, not your cardio. Diet wise, like I predicted in my plan, I am able to eat eggs and such for breakfast, a sandwich with fruit and granola bars for lunch, but dinner is always a surprise. It has been a bit difficult because my house has a lot of sweets and chips in it, so everything is pretty tempting. I won't lie, I have had a piece of candy or two since my diet, but I am pretty sure there wont be any drastic effects from consuming that candy. I am feeling pretty excited about my project and I cannot wait to start seeing results.
