a good week so far…
I started a new meal plan this past Monday and so far I’ve been able to maintain it. I found the plan in this month’s Maximum Fitness magazine. It’s a three week plan to lose 15lbs of fat. I was able to pass up the weekly offering of office doughnuts on Fridays, and the pot luck lunch earlier in the week, so that’s a good sign. I’ve hit the gym 5 days this week and I already do feel better than I’ve had in a while. I dont know what I’ve lost so far, but at the moment the numbers dont really concern me. it’s more of how I feel and what I see in the mirror. This plan has allowed me to eat somethings that I wouldn’t normally eat, like asparagus and summer squash which is really not that bad. It’s also kept me more focused and determined on making sure I eat every 2-3 hours and that no outside temptations (office food, and the haters) would creep in and mess things up. Plus it’s kept me from visiting Burger King across the street and saving me money. Part of the reason for my determination is that overthe last few months I’ve gained about 10-15 lbs and eventhough I was in the gym, it wasnt often enough and my meal plan wasnt working. Then I got sick a couple of months ago and wasnt able to train and my eating really went south. So now I’m feeling much better and I am more focused on my training goals. Bring on Week 2 of this meal plan, which for me starts on Monday!
