2 Weeks to Rhode Island!!!

Hi Everyone!

Ok, this has been the 3rd week of my nutrition and fitness program, excellent changes in my physique. My weight is steady but I've lost 3 more inches, that's awesome!!! This is what the week has looked like:

Day 11: 25 minutes Cardio, 60 minutes hot yoga
Day 12: Excellent upper body workout including chins, chest flye, lateral raises, concentration curls and, as always, triceps, triceps, triceps. Can you tell what my weak spot is?
Day 13: Spinning 30 minutes
Day 14: Upper Body
Day 15: Hot Yoga 6o minutes
Day 16: Legs
Day 17: Hot Yoga, upper body

So it's looking like 3 upper body workouts, 3 hot yoga classes as well as cardio and legs throughout. So far so good!! FYI my workouts last about 45-60 minutes, no longer. Diet is still quite clean, minimal cheats.

More next week...

Have a great weekend!!

Second Week of Cleanse

Results so far: Down 4 1/2 lb. and 4 inches!

Day 6: Hot Yoga 60 Minutes
Day 7: Upper Body
Day 8: Hot Yoga 60 Minutes
Day 9: Legs (Swings, Split squats, romanian deadlifts, straight leg deadlifts, hamstring curls)
Day 10: Upper Body (Pull-ups both wide and narrow, triceps, triceps, triceps, cable lateral raises, barbell curls, concentration curls, etc.)

You'll notice I've been doing a ton of hot yoga, this is for a purpose right now as I wind down at the end of the summer, enjoying the last relaxing part of the season and focus on myself through this time. I will be ramping up the cardio shortly!

My nutrition program has been pretty solid, but I must mention that I've "cheated" strategically to stay motivated and cycle the carbs. Many meals are fish and broccoli, eggs and spinach and such!

Supplements...the majors are fish oil, fiber, magnesium as well as all my regulars. I'm dying to try the new Poliquin supplement, UberInositol-T! I'll give you the update next week...

Happy Labour Day!

First Week of Cleanse

It`s been 2 days since I started my nutrition program with the goal of losing 10lb and losing 3% bodyfat. I`ve eliminated sugar in every form including sweets and alcohol (obviously!), fruit (for now), certain vegetables (sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, beets, carrots), dairy as well as coffee and such.
I`ve lost 2lb in 2 day, so I`m happy so far! The workout routine this week has been as follows:

Day 1: Wednesday August 25th Upper Body Weight Workout
Day 2: Thursday August 26th 30 Minute Walk
Day 3: Friday August 27th Hot Yoga 60 Minutes

Continuing with:

Day 4: 30 Minutes Intense Cardio (Arc Trainer)
Legs
Day 5: 30 Minutes Cardio (Inteval training)
Upper Body

So far I`ve been fine, good energy levels, no cravings. Workouts have been strong, I feel amazing! More next week...

Cheers,

Sarah
