Okay folks, it is time to get back into my routine. Vacation is over, and this first week back at work has not been stellar.
Managed 2 workouts - a dumbbell complex and double kettlebell circuit. That's it. Diet has been about 80% on plan, so need to tighten that up.
I've decided to to follow Rachel Cosgrove's Drop 2 Sizes 12 week workout plan which consists of 3 strength workouts and one interval weekly. I need to get back into a consistent routine without too much thought involved, so doing her videos will accomplish that.
Diet wise I'll keep going with the 60% fat, moderate protein (120 grams or less) and low carbs. I have more energy and feel better when I keep the fat high.
I made my workout spreadsheets for the first 4 weeks, and have got menus planned for the next few days. By this evening, I'll have menus for the whole week planned. There is a menu plan in the book, but it is higher carb, low fat...the typical weight watchers menu plan. Not for me thanks.
I'm using my size 8 jeans as a barometer and ditching the scale. By the end of 6 weeks, those puppies should be loose. By the end of 12 weeks, they'll be falling off of me! I have one other goal.....At the end of 12 weeks, I will using the 16kg kettlebell for cleans and shoulder presses.....with ease!
Day 1 is July 22, 2013.
