STATurday

Wow, I'm really awful at this.  I thought I had at least posted daily during week 1.

While I've faithfully been working out and tracking my nutrition (not quite as faithfully).  However, I haven't lost anything.  Or, hardly anything.  It's a little discouraging; however, I notice a difference in how I'm performing, so I'm holding on to that.

I also recently got a fitbit blaze, and I love it.  It's pretty amazing, and I think it's a little more accurate than my HR (don't get me wrong, I love my HR too).  I'm stoked and excited to use it to take my fitness to the next level.

I'm setting goals this week so I can hopefully SEE results.
1. 10,000 steps everyday (except Thursday...cause it's really hard for me on Thursdays)
2. Log every bit of food that goes in my mouth
3. Shakeology and vitamins EVERY DAY
4. Blog EVERY DAY

I've got this, and I'm going to do great

Focus T25 Week 1 Recap

I know I haven't been keeping up with my blog like I want to, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been doing the work, because I have been.

Tuesday

Day 2 was Speed 1.0.  All I can remember in my head is "front, center, back, center, out wide."  This was the cadence to the speed and agility move.  Keeping up on this one was difficult, but I feel like I did a really good job with it, and I look forward to improving.

Lunch was this salad, that was really yummy.  I was surprised by how good it was.  There is a lot of sugar in in (or more than I want), but it was (surprisingly) really good.  I like that it's organic and certified by the NSF.  I'm not putting anything gross in my body and am truly eating clean. 

This was dinner; Greek Feta Zucchini Turkey burger.  The zucchini is actually in the burger, and it is topped with a greek salad.  I roasted some green beans.  This was delicious.  It's a recipe I found on skinny taste, and I have rarely had a bad meal from her. It was really yummy (and healthy).  

Day 3

Today's workout was total body circuit, and man was it difficult.  I barely survived this one; I swore Shaun T was trying to kill me.  It worked out everything...lived up to it's name.  Craziness is what it should be called.  I know this workout isn't as difficult as insanity, but it was pretty hard. 

Dinner this night was a loaded taco salad.  It was deliciousness.  It had chicken, back beans, corns, doritos, tomatoes, avocado, and greek yogurt dressing.  Even my wife liked it, and my wife usually doesn't like it when I make salad for dinner.  

Day 4

This was Ab Interval day.  Just because I stayed mostly in fat burn does not mean I didn't get a good workout.  Holy George do I need to work on my abs.  I have virtually no core strength.  I'm hoping that changes with this program.  

I didn't eat well this day.  I had another elevate salad for lunch, and we ate Arby's for dinner.  Not the best decision I ever made.  

Day 5

 Yesterday was doubles day.  I did Lower Focus followed by Cardio.  After lower focus, my legs were JELLO.  I would go down in a squat or a lunge, and I didn't think I could get back up.  Then, I had to do Cardio.  I did pretty good the first half, then the second half I had to switch between going all out and modifying.  However, I got all the way through it. It was amazingly hard, but worth it. 

Day 6

Rest day and STATurday.  I gained some weight, but I lost some body fat, and my measurements have stayed the same.  So, it's not ideal and I'm trying not to get discouraged.  I haven't been drinking my Teami tea, so I have have put on some water weight. 

Here it is: 

Weight: 256.6 lbs

Body Fat: 48.3%

Chest: 45 in

Waist: 40 in

Arm: 15 in 

Thigh: 29 in

Next week is a new week!
