START  - April 30th                                                                                        TODAY - May 17th

 

 

 

I wish it would let me put them side by side at full change b/c its not really showing as much as when I printed them out.

 

Changes you can see:

- Lookes like a few layers of fat have been peeled off the top of my tummy.

- Also can tell a change in the lower "pooch" area.

- Significantly smaller BOO-TAY  (thanks April!)

- Front of thighs looks leaner.

- Line of the leg more pronounced

- Chin/neck thinner/ more defined.

 

Changes you can see:

- face is less "puffy"

- beginnings of waist definition.

- Around the naval you can really tell the difference in fat layers.

-Legs have more definition and thigh area doesnt seem so "poofy".

- a good bit more clavical!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Differences you can see:

- HAHA! You can see where my racer-back shirt was when I got ROASTED at bootcamp that day.

- Dramatically thinner waist from the back view

- BUTT is a lot smaller

- Saddlebaggs have decreased

- Top of back doesnt look as "puffy" (really a layer of fat is gone I guess)

 

 

 

 

So I'm pleased with 2.5 week mark. There are a good many changes you can see, but there are also changes you CANT see. For example, you CANT see that yesterday I was able to run 3 miles in 29:08!!! I am feeling better, my clothes are feeling better and I was able to put on a pair of pants the other day I had purchaced but never worn. The other good thing is that I still have 14 days till Disney World so I could shave off a lot more before those photos get taken. Working HARD pays off. :)

Today is a little STRANGE for me. After having a really crappy day on the 13th food wise I decided a "clensing day" was in order.

For exercise today I did 30 minutes of the weights portion (like circuit training) of the Biggest Loser DVD. Then I immediatly went into a 25 minute hip-hop dance workout video and finished with 25 minutes of bellydancing.

*Side note: I feel like a FOOL when I do workout videos at my house. Like there's a hidden video or something. haha!

 

Then for my "cleansing food today" 

M1: 1/2 grapefruit and 8 oz Jay Robbs Protein shake

M2: 1/2 grapefruit

M3: 1/2 grapefruit and 8 oz Jay Robbs Protein shake

M4: 1/2 grapefruit

M5: 1/2 grapefruit & 8 oz Jay Robbs Protein shake

   * I also had three liters of water.

Will be back to turkey & complex carbs tomorrow.

Strangely I've not been hungry ALL DAY. How strange?!?! You'd think I'd be starving, but I've not been. Very weird. Very clensing.

 

No, I haven't fallen by the way-side I've just been busy doing every little thing. :)

My food was squeeky clean yesterday and will be again today.

 

I think, however, that I might have pulled something in my right calf. It started cramping up all the sudden yesterday. I'm going to eat a banana in a bit and see if it helps.

So, we're into week 3 now. This is just another like "Leanness Lifestyle" week where I try to keep calories lower and protein/carb/fat ratios all really good. And not a moment too soon b/c I was getting bored with having turkey breast and veggies for almost every meal. I can do it for a week, but not more than that in a row.

 

I had boot camp at 5am AGAIN this morning. Did I mention it was 48 degrees out which is just too dern cold for Alabama in May!!! When I was running during warm-up my shins were killing and during a few exercises too. So thats frustrating. I felt like I was going to puke from the cereal still sitting in my tummy from yesterday, but somehow I managed not to. It was a good hard workout and I was working up a seriously good sweat.

Came home and walked incline intervals for 30 minutes.  First 5 minutes was 3.5 at 6.0 incline, next 5 min was 4.0 at 7.0, Starting min 11 I did 3.5 at an 8.0 incline, then back to 4.0 and a 9.0 incline for the next five then I topped out running 5.0 at a 10.0 incline for 5 minutes before cooling down the final 5 back at 3.5 with a 6.0 incline. It worked up a good sweat. I REALLY hate that fitday.com doesnt give me anywhere NEAR the calorie burn alottment as Leanness Lifestyle did, but I'm coping.

This evening we walked for 30 min around the neighborhood

So fitday estimates me at 616 cals burned.

 

Ok, so here's my food today.

M1: 3 egg whites, banana peppers & 1/2 grapefruit

M5: 1 c mixed frozen berries
