Heffer Highlights 3/20

Highs:
-great start to the challenge, motivation at its highest
-lots of support from friends and especially family
-felt good to know that we're in it together, first time i'm part of a collabo diet
-HIIT (high intensity interval training) turned out to be a success; saw more endurance in 1 week
-learned of daily core workouts that seemed doable (situps & pushups)
-established daily workout partner for 3/5 days of the week so far; big bro on tuesdays, girlfriend on wednesdays, best friend on thursdays

Lows:
-contradicting information on diets, nutrition and intake suggestions; so many sources, don't know who is right, who is best, or who is proven.
-debating on protein intake; trying to break psychological barrier that splits the difference between gaining weight and gaining fat.
-severe soreness on thursday, due to 2 reasons: 1) lack of proper stretching, 2) possible lack of protein, 3) natural result of workouts
-did NOT wake up any day to score any activity before work; all work outs, even though they were sufficient, were pushed into one session, at night, after work when I was tired and distracted
