I'm on my third day of the transformation phase of my program. This phase is totally different then the first phase. Instead of working out three days a week (M,W,F), I now work out six days a week (Sunday's off). Monday I worked my arms, Tuesday Abs and Cardio, and today is legs. Currently I have only a 3,5,and 8 pound dumbbells, so I believe I need a 10 and a 12lb so I can affectively work my arms, but the ab and cardio yesterday about killed me. All good of course...but wow. 135 crunches (forward, reverse, and side) and it hurts to laugh. But I know that your abs recover quick and I look forward to seeing the results.
My food intake has been good. I am surprised at how easy it really is to keep with my restrictions. There are times where I want to jump through the tv for the fries they are eating or whatever it is, but I know that while I am craving that food in that moment, it is just that, a split moment. Soon after I would regret it and the pain of regret is so much greater than the happiness I would get during the splurge. So I have been able to stick with it. I know that soon I will start to gain a few pounds because of the muscle increase but then after that phase the fat should start to melt away.
As long as we keep looking at the big picture. The calendar one year from today will show a totally different picture as it does today or tomorrow and THAT is what we are all striving for.
God Bless you all!
