Drop 2 sizes prep

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.
