Slim By The Summer Week 2

 

Today is our first weigh in! 

Week 1 Results:  Down 6.2 pounds

I am coming from drinking soda and coffee with flavored creamers, eating out, not exercising and not much water.  Last week- Completely clean week. No soda, flavored creamer, eating out, or sugary snacks.  Exercising and fitness worked in last week with no problems.

This week's theme:

(Bill Phillips- Body for Life-hiit & reps method)

Cardio and abdominal{my problem area} exercises 6 days a week.

Stationary Bike- 20 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training. 

1 minute fast/30 seconds lower.

I like this way the most because more calories burned faster with the High Intensity Interval Training. : )

Walking- Tracking with Endomondo phone app. 

I am building back up and currently am trying to get back to where I once was.  I don't know if it is because the track I normally go to has just been redone and it has been yucky weather lately so it is a bit soft.  Whew, it has been so hard to get around the track lately. 

Go Smart Omron Pedometer- Goal 10,000 steps daily. (starting this week)

These are the ones I currently rotate with:

Crunches

Leg Lifts- with Foam Roller

Starting these this week: 

Weighted Side Crunches (obliques)- Jillian Micheals style

Weighted Superman's-Jillian Micheals style
