I got this email today from VidaOne and it makes me very happy.
Many, many of you are asking about the iPhone. We’re currently working on MyPersonalDiet for the iPhone, which should be available in December. Shortly afterwards, we plan to release MySportTraining for the iPhone. This will be followed by a Mac OS X version of VidaOne Diet & Fitness in Spring/Summer 2009.
VidaOne and the MyPersonalDiet and MySportsTraining software on the WindowsMobile platform is the de-facto standard for fitness and diet software. An iPhone version of both of this apps would make the iPhone a very incredible tool for fitness and nutrition freaks out there.
I can’t wait and I will the very first one to buy this when it comes out.
Thought I may feel tired after doing the first double cardio routine yesterday but it was actually quite the opposite. Felt great and had lots of energy.
Morning cardio was a smooth 60 minutes and the afternoon session should be at about 4-5pm.
As we get older most of us find our metabolism slowing down. Our body fat increases and body weight increases more easily. In contrast, it takes longer workouts and some will say even different workouts to get your metabolism going as it used to when I (we) was in my 20′s.
So I decided to try something a little different to see if I can crank up my metabolism and shed some of these stubborn body fat percentages.
I don’t mind doing cardio. I actually enjoy it. OK… there is a caveat with that statement. I enjoy doing it while I am watching TV. Yes, I said it. Watching TV. I have even set up a small 19" TV right in front of my elliptical trainer and put on either MSNBC or CNN and before I know it 60 minutes have gone by and about 700 fat burning calories are gone.
So this week I am going to do double cardio sessions. One in the morning at about 8-9am and the second one about 6-8 hours later before I have dinner.
I have noticed lately that my energy would taper off towards the end of the day and today after I did my afternoon cardio (another 60 minutes on the elliptical watching the DNC coverage) I noticed that my energy peaked and was I ready for the rest of the evening.
So we will see if this routine helps shed some of those few percentage points of body fat that I want to lose.
This one is a day or two late due to a busy weekend but I was still able to meet the goals set for this day.
Getting back to my daily routine and slowly working back up to my normal weights and sets.
Elliptical trainer for 60 minutes with my normal 75% target heart rate.
So far so good.
I am going to redo Week 3 so I can catch up to the rest of my workouts.
Still babysitting the pinched nerve. Took it easy on weights and did an hour on the elliptical.
I tried working out on Monday and yesterday and I was in lots of pain. So I am going to take this week off to babysit these sore muscles and pinched nerve on my lower back/hip. At my age it is a good idea to listen to your body and not push it when it cries out for rest. I am not 20 any more when it was very easy to just push through the pain.
But now comes the hard part… Can I stick to my diet while I am not working out? I have to fight the temptation to finish off that half gallon of ice cream that is sitting in the freezer. Sticking to my diet will be a huge accomplishment.
I will still do the Hundred Pushups regime since that does not seem to bother my back but I am not sure I will be able to keep the goals for this week but I am going to try as hard as I can to reach each and every goal.
I said earlier that I had set a goal for myself of 30 push ups for the end of Week 2 Test. I am happy with myself as I was able to pull off 32 before my arms turned to noodles.
Looking forward to next week and seeing how much I progress.
All I can say is TGIF!!!!
Week 2 Day 3 of Hundred Pushup goals are 15/15/12/12/max (at least 15).

Abs workout kicked my ass today. I am glad I did it after my regular workout.
