So it took about a week to get the workout and nutrition program designed for me, which is very reasonable considering how busy/popular my online trainer is.
I officially started this transformation Oct 3rd, which means I will finish on Christmas Day. How perfect is that!?
I have been sticking to the diet and workouts. Breakfast is hard to eat. Workouts I crawl my way through.
They initially took me 2 hours to complete but I’m down to 1h 30min to get through them.
2 weeks in ( actually 1 week and a half but who’s counting) I dropped 10 pounds and 2% body fat. Ya that is a little nuts I know. Since then my weight loss has slowed which is typical but I’m trying to average at least 2 pounds of fat loss a week. This won’t always reflect in my weight as I’m also gaining muscle.
Today I weighed in at 195 pounds and 12% body fat, which is awesome because it means that since loosing the 10 pounds and hitting 13% bf I’ve lost fat and gained some muscle. I’ve noticed this visually as well, which is very encouraging.
I’m nearing the end of my 3rd week and already I’m noticing I have more energy and my will power to resist temptation is unbreakable. This surprises me a bit because I’m surrounded by crap food all the time. My roommates, though my best friends, always have crap food in the house. Pizza, McDonalds, chocolate and candy laying around you name it they have it. I will not give in though. I have a goal and I will reach it!
