1st week of 10 week challange in the books… Bring on #2!!!
There is now nine weeks left of the year. My first week of my challange was great. I was motivated, my nutrition was great, I hit the gym everyday except today (Sunday) which was a planned day off. I also have been sitting the Jacuzzi and in the Sauna at night. I like the feel of the heat. It seems wonders on my muscles which are sore. I have lost about ten pounds which I think is due to my diet. I have cut my caloric intake by 500 calories. I don’t find myself getting extremely hungry but the temptation is there. On Halloween I was good. I made sure I had gum in my mouth when I was around the temptation.
My friends came into town and left this afternoon. They weren’t burdensome, but then again they never are. They didn’t want to do anything crazy and we ended up watching the USC / Oregon game at a local casino. It was great. I didn’t have to worry about drinking and eating wrong. That always seems to happen when I have company come in from out of town.
So, now comes week two. I am doing the same training as last week except I am going to add a timed run / jog / walk in the morning around my city block. It is 2.2 miles. I went out and got a stop watch. My goal is to beat my previous weeks time. I am going to do that on an empty stomach and try to add some HIIT in the run. I know I am going to get some stares. I am also going to change my post resistance cardio from the treadmill to the Eliptical trainer. I think that will confuse my body for a bit. I know that I had some serious weight loss in the first week. My goal was 5 lbs and I doubled it. I am shooting for 5 lbs. again. But, I am going to be realistic this week and be happy with half that.
So, Happy November and the holiday season is coming really fast. I hope I don’t blow it.
