So far so good, I’m making progress
Well, so far so good. Amy and I have navigated the first 2 weeks of eating right and working out. The first week was really a test and last week was a hardcore week. We missed one workout and our cardio workouts weren’t as long as we would have liked (20 minutes vs. 40 minutes). We typically do the 20 MAS (Minute Aerobic Solution) followed by 20 minutes of low intensity workout but were taxed for time so we only did the 20 MAS. At the end of the week we noticed the difference in the numbers but we both still did great. I dropped 4 more pounds and Amy dropped 2, not bad for a semi solid week. We’re used to seeing more the first few weeks but we realize where we can improve and have already made adjustments to compensate. I updated my timeline with my progress so far and have also plotted a few short and long term goals.
This week is great so far, I had a killer lower body workout yesterday and today we got our entire 40 minutes of cardio in. Needless to say I was completely starved all day today. Following the meals this time around is actually pretty easy this time around. We have quite a few menus to work through both from the Eating for LIFE book and some recipes we found. Plus, it helps that we’re trying to save money for a house as well so saving money eating at home obviously helps a ton.
I know I’ve said this before, and I really do hope I’m right this time, but it feels different. We’re both getting up in the morning and when one person isn’t into it the other person is there to support them and get them fired up. We always feel great after each workout, even if it is early in the morning. We’re also usually thankful we got up in the morning and worked out after a long day at work. A workout is the last thing we want to do when we get home.
Anyhow, as usual I’ll keep updating the website as we progress. Wish us luck, we have a few challenges coming up this week and the following weeks. Now lets hit the hay so we can knock out a killer upper body workout in the morning. Nite all …
