Alicia’s Journey To Better Health

I bought my husband the Perfect Pushup set for Valentine’s Day. We are doing healthy gifts this year. He was in the military and said it is harder than bootcamp! I tried it too and the pushups are much harder than normal. If you like to do pushups, I recommend you get this. It works more of the upper body than a normal pushup routine.

I have been following Bill Belfert’s Bare Minimum training program for about three weeks. I went out to buy a dress yesterday and found that in three weeks I have droped a full dress size! I thought my clothes were getting loose! I was using a weight scale to measure my progress but I don’t think that is an accurate way to track progress anymore. It was only showing a slight drop in weight. I had forgotten that muscle weighs more than fat inch per inch. I guess I’ll just do measurements and get some calipers. Can anyone recommend a good brand or style of calipers? Thanks.

I must be in pretty good shape even though I’m still heavy. My brother was not able to do the resistance and time that I can on my elliptical! I was very shocked because he is in good shape. He said it gives him a new challenge. I do think I might have had an advantage because he has never used and elliptical before. Oh well, it still makes me feel good about myself.

My doctor said my wrist is heeling fast and I can start back weight training next Friday! This is great because I will finally be able to do all the Bare Minimum training program! I will also be able to join my bowling team again. Boy, I thought it would take six weeks to heel, but now it is only a little more than three. On another note, the diet is going well now that I can cook again. Things are going my way today!

I love the Bare Minimum training program. I have a wrist injury so I’m only doing the cardio right now and following a healthy diet. I’ve lost 2lbs of fat in two weeks but it looks like more. My clothes are fitting better too. This is the best program for anyone like me who doesn’t have a lot of time to workout. I can’t wait for my wrist to heel so I can do the whole program!

Well, my wrist is fractured. It will probably be six weeks before I can hit the weights again. I am trying to follow my diet and do cardio. It is hard to cook with one hand so I’ve had to change my diet a little. I have been taking advantage of the nice weather and doing outdoor cardio.

The doctor said my x-rays show that my wrist might be fractured. I guess I will not be doing weight training for a while. I still plan to do cardio, but I really like weight training. If my wrist is fractured I’ll be out six weeks. I’m going to have to really follow my diet so I can reach my goal.

This is the best program! It is so easy to follow. Since I’m starting the second phase of my plan tomorrow, I thought The Bare Minimum program might be good to try. I’ve got my diet under control. Now the exercise portion is next. My goal is to workout 4-5 days a week and with this program the workouts are set up for 5 days a week! Plus the program designer, Bill Belfert, is very helpful. If you want to try something that is easy to follow, I recommend you give Bare Minimum a try!
