Week Two

So this Saturday is the end of Week Two of my fitness boot camp.

The second week wasn't as hard as the first when it came to work outs, and i honestly think that's because I didn't put enough into them. Yes I was still exhausted by the end, but I could have put more into them. Hopefully with week three I can really push more, add more weights to my reps and really start to work harder.

A big step up though was that I was able to do a full sit up. When I started this course, and for years, my sit ups included me being able to only move my shoulders off the ground by maybe two inches. Yesterday I was able to do multiple, full sit ups. I was very, very proud of myself. I think I'm going to use this as my first milestone.

Another really difficult part of this program is the food. I'm supposed to eat every three to four hours and I just can't do that. If I'm not hungry, I'm not going to eat. It was pointed out that this is where protein drinks and protein bars come in. I have found that Muscle Milk protein drinks taste amazing! I love them. It's like having a milkshake if you mix the powder with milk and ice. So good. The EAS protein drinks are also good, but not as tasty as Muscle Milk. The protein bars that I've been eating are Pure Protein - the chocolate is the best but peanut butter is also really good. A tip I was given was to make sure that when I eat, my meals are 250-300 calories. That way I can make sure I'm hungry again in the three to four hours with out going over. We get our "numbers" on Monday. That means we get our target calories, protein, and carbs. I'm excited to be able to start tracking this, I think it will make weight loss easier.

Weight loss for this week was 2 lbs, which is a total of 13lbs lost.
