Well, June's over
And I weigh 138.0 this morning. Ha! No loss then. Every day I got up hoping to eat well, and by the end each day, I hadn't done as well as I should have. I did do all my exercises, but we all know that exercise is only 20% of the weight-loss equation.
Four pounds is SO hard to lose when you're in a normal weight range. Especially when you keep sneaking chocolates from the break room all day long.
I really enjoyed my Turbo Jam rotation, but feel that I have lost strength and flexibility doing it exclusively, so I've created a mixed rotation for July. Here it is:
1 -- Iron Core Way 1 (kettlebell) & Body Fusion (step aerobics with weight intervals)
2 -- Maya Fienne's 'Willpower' (kundalini yoga for the sacral chakra)
3 -- Jiggle Free Arms (step with weight interval, upper body focus)
4 -- Gilad's Power & Grace (aerobics with plyometric focus)
5 -- Kundalini Yoga Fat Free Yoga: Lose Weight Feel Great
6 -- Amy Bento Slo-Mo Strength Challenge (total body heavy lifting)
7 -- Turbo Jam Punch, Kick & Jam (cardio kickboxing with weighted gloves)
8-11 Norfolk Coast Walking Holiday
12 - Iron Core Way 1 (kettlebell) & Fat Blaster (cardio intervals)
13 - Fat Free Yoga LWFG
14 - Jiggle Free Buns (step with weight intervals, lower body focus)
15 - Iron Core Way 2 (kettlebell) & Cardio Dance Fusion (dance choreographed cardio)
16 - Kundalini Yoga Dance the Chakras
17 - Gilad's Cuts & Curves (total body weights with bands and light dumbbells)
18 - Leslie 5-Mile Fat-Burning Walk
19 - Cathe Supersets/Push Pull (total body weights)
20 - REST
21 - Turbo Jam Cardio Party 2
22 - Fat Free Yoga LWFG
23 - The Firm Cardio Sculpt (total body weight intervals with step)
24 - Low Impact Circuit Cardio Timesaver (45 minute advanced step)
25 - Maya Fienne's 'Courage' KY for the root chakra
26 - Tom Holland's Total Body (total body weights, heavy)
27 - Gilad's Power & Grace (plyometric cardio)
28 - REST
29 - Rhythmic Step (advanced steady-state cardio step)
30 - Turbo Jam Booty Sculpt (lower body with band) & Fat Blaster (cardio intervals)
31 - KY Fat Free Yoga LWFG
I'm going to try very hard to post all my food on here every day. It will make for boring reading, but please, if anyone is reading this, could you give me some feedback on it? Congrats or commiserations, whichever the case may be? Thanks
Today so far:
Breakfast: a smoothie made from homemade soy milk, soy protein isolate, hemp protein and gelatinized maca root; one slice wholemeal toast with no-sugar added strawberry jam; one mug decaf black; one pint water
Snack: 1 cup raw oats soaked in soy milk with raisins and hulled hemp seeds
2 pints of water
No lunch
Handful of raisins
Mango smoothie
Birdseye veggie patty and chips with a bit of ketchup and thousand island dressing
small scoop of chocolate vegan ice cream with 2 fingers of KitKat
Today was not a normal eating day. Too hot here, and no air conditioning. I basically just snacked.
