Day 9 -- I weighed in this morning and have only lost about 1 1/2 more pounds. I thought it would've been at least 3 more, but it's cool! At least I'm still losing, right? Right! I need to start getting in more cardio. I think I will workout after work today, I slept in again this morning. Boy, lately that bed is feeling better and better in the mornings. I know I need to not make that a habit though so that I can get more of a workout in.

Hope you're all doing well today. Be back later.

I slept in again this morning! This is becoming too much of a habit. But today, it was always the plan!

Day 10
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I slept in this morning, but as said above, it was always the plan. I am only working until 11:30 today and then off the rest of the day. The boys have a race on Sunday, so we're camping out on Saturday and I have to go to the store to get food and stuff.

Here's my plan for the day: go to the beer store on the way home, go home put up the beer, change clothes, go the gym, go get my nails done, go to the store for groceries, then go home. I'll tell ya too, I can't wait to get to the gym.

I didn't have a traditional workout yesterday, but I did run up my stairs about 6 times at work and then did some lunges and some plie squats and then did some abs and pushups at home last night.

Hope everyone has a great Friday. I know I will!

Happy Cinco De Mayo, Fitty!

Day 13 -- AAAAhhhhhhhh

Saturday's weigh in revealed I'd lost two and a half more pounds. That's about 8 pounds so far. I gotta tell ya, this program works extremely well!

I cheated a little bit yesterday while we were at the race track -- my boys did excellent by the way. But this morning, I'm back on my diet as it needs to be! I actually missed my perfect diet yesterday, but it was really hard after camping out on Saturday night and running out of veggies. I had to go with snacky food stuff and keeping with my protein. No big deal though -- I'm calling it a refeed.

OK, now onto the boys' races. My oldest ran 18th in his first moto and then got 15th in his second moto. My youngest ran 11th in his first moto and then got 7th in his second moto. I am so proud of them. They are riding so much better these days. I can't wait to see how they ride in the next race.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend too. Will check in later.

Congrats on the wins and losses!

Today is Day 14.

One more week to go, let's see if I can lose another 3 to 4 pounds in a week! More would be nice, but 3 to 4 and I would be a happy girl! I'm gonna work really hard.

Like I said, I cheated a little bit on Sunday, but yesterday it was back on track.

Hope everyone is doing well today! If not, do well! I said so!!!

So what kind of diet will you be reverting to once this is over? How do you plan to counter the effects of change once you go back to eating more "regularly" I guess you could say?

This program is not only wonderful for cleansing and shedding some weight, but it is also educational. It teaches you how your body reacts to different foods. For instance, I found out the first two times that I did this program, that peanuts make my allergies immediately flare up. I also found out that bananas make me really sluggish.

There are so many things that eating clean teaches you about your routines, your body, the way foods make you feel and etc. But then again, everyone here already knows that.

So, to answer your question. I think the program really works (at least for me) because I get motivated and get it in my mind that this program is too expensive to just "waste". I will continue to have a protein shake after my workouts or as my first meal if I don't workout until the afternoon and will continue eating a lot of veggies and fruits and having clean meats.

I've noticed also after the first two times on the program that I just can't eat breads and chips and tortillas. They give me heartburn and make me feel really weighted down. So I will keep away from those foods as much as possible. The more I stick to clean eating, the better off I'll be.

I really did good the first two times, it was when I went through our IVF that I gained all that weight and knew I needed to get it off.

sorry that was such a long explaination.

Nah believe me I enjoy it when someone is thorough, especially when it's my question they're answering.

Yeah your story about the breads and tortillas reminds me I tried to drink a soda a couple months ago (been about 3 years since I had one) and I swear I felt like such crap it was rediculous. It burned my stomach, damn near gave me a headache... yeah... eat clean lol

Today is Day 15. I only got in about 30 minutes of workout yesterday, so today I really need to put the smackdown. I plan to do two workouts today: either I will do weights at lunch and cardio after work OR cardio at lunch and weights after work.

The more I think about it, I may do the latter.

Diet is still going well. Although last night I made some broiled tilapia, a salad and some grilled zucchini. After dinner, all night my stomach was so upset. Today I'm taking it easy and going to have my meat serving at lunch today and just stick with veggies and a salad tonight.

Sounds like it's going great! I tried doing the cardio at lunch for a time, but I was too sweaty and didn't have enough time to take a shower before I went back to work...ewwww

Fitgirl70

I kinda like working out at lunch because it forces me to walk by our deli here (next door to our gym) and I get a salad and a sweet potato!

I love deli's!!! .. Big ole' turkey breast sandwich,,with lots of tomatoes, mustard & lettuce.. on dark bread..mmmmmm

Sorry,, I probably shouldn't be saying that here huh

Plateau_Max

Yeah big deli sandwiches are great. I like pre-cooked then shredded chicken breast on dark bread with romaine lettuce and raw spinach, mustard, and tomatoes.

Day 16 -- I'm feeling kinda tired today. Yesterday at lunch I did 30 minutes of cardio and then after work I went to the gym and did a full body workout. I didn't get to biceps because I was getting hungry and had to leave. Today I am working out after work again. My hubby has to work late, so I'm just gonna go to the gym and then get a salad proba
