Comments: I have to be super organized to eat like this. I appreciate getting to eat but there is no snacking, dairy, sugar, bread, fruit, etc on this diet. 6 weeks, huh? I enjoyed changing up my weight training today to lesser reps and more weight. I felt powerful and strong!!!! I should be able to pop out at least 10 full pull-ups and 50 straight push-ups after this...well at least that's my goal.

Tomorrow: Cardio (90 min) and Chest

Sunday, May 30, 2010

Well Hello Everyone!

Today marks the 6 week period. I have 6 weeks left to transform. I will admit that I made better choices and made an effort to workout more intensely, but I have to turn it up for the next 6 weeks. I have decided to skip the last two weeks of Phase 1 of the program and move on to Phase 2. In Phase 2 you drop reps (10, 8, 6) and increase cardio. I do have hidden muscle mass. I just have to felt the fat off so they can make their grand apperance. I am also going to follow the diet plan (mostly to the t) for the next 6 weeks. I bet Fred that I wouldnt give up sugar for a week (starting Thursday) and he would do the same. It was good for me to do that because I had to pass up cake twice. I wonder how Fred is doing???? Below is the diet plan for Phase 2. If you notice that I am not eating similar to this (starting Monday/Tuesday), but sure to call me out.

8am: 4 egg whites, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 10 almonds
11am snack: 4oz of chicken breast, yams, 1 cup of broccoli
2pm lunch: 4oz of chicken breast, 1/2 cup of brown rice, 1 cup of broccoli, 10 almonds
5pm snack: 1 1/2 scoops of whey protein, 1 tsp of pnb
7pm dinner: 5oz of cod, mixed greens, cucumbers, balsamic vinegar, 10 almonds
10pm snack: 3 egg whites, 3 oz of ground turkey

Now, on the forums, people are already complaining that they cant afford to eat like this. I can afford it but feel like it's just so much food. I am suppose to reduce calories by 200 because I am shorter than 5' 3". Just note that what you see should look something like what is listed above

The workout should look like this:
Day 1: Back, Abs
Day 2: Chest
Day 3: Legs
Day 4: Off
Day 5: Shoulders, Abs
Day 6: Biceps, Triceps
Day 7: Off

Now it only suggest 1-2 high intensity cardio workouts per week. But I am going to do at least 6 (30 min) cardio sessions per week. Amanda Latona does a lot of cardio to prepare for a shoot. Shouldn't I?

Here is what I did Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Just in case you were wondering or wanted to keep closer taps on me, here is the training program for week 1-4

Day 1: Shoulders, ABS
Day 2: Chest, Biceps
Day 3: OFF
Day 4: Legs
Day 5: Back, Triceps
Day 6-7: OFF

I am instructed to do 15,12,10 reps. I was pyramiding (adding more weight as I drop reps). I was also advised to keep cardio to a minimum and put one rest day in between. I will do cardio on Monday (spinning), Tuesday (cardio kick), Thursday (Spinning), and Saturday (TBA). The new bikes should be here on Friday, May 28.

So, technically I only followed the program for Day 1 this week. I did TBS on Wednesday and did total body but not the exercises I was really suppose to do. I also wasnt using enough weight. So I have to catch up. Today I should do Chest, Biceps, Back, Triceps and save legs for tomorrow at SCLA. Getting legs in today would be great so I can do cardio tomorrow. I might throw a couple shoulder moves in there too.
