Day one of not working out turned into a 20 minute walk on the treadmill.
Day two of not working out turned into a 3 mile walk around Westlake!
Then reality set in if I want to get ripped, toned, and faster I have to let me muscles take this time to relax and recover. So Weds - Saturday I did not exercise. My body repaid me in being very sluggish and tired.
I am so surprised at how much I look forward to working out everyday! Thank god tomorrow is Monday and BODY FOR LIFE cycle challenge #2 starts!!!
I am ready to push myself even harder and farther!!!!
In order to start my next Cycle of Body for Life 12 week Challenge I would like to document where I am and where I am going!!!
I want to recap what I have accomplished since the first week of December 2010:
I lost 23 pounds of weight
I gained visible muscle in parts of my body
My body fat % dropped
I worked out 6 days per week, every week for 12 weeks
I ate 6 meals per day, that were balanced with complex carb and protein
My personal mantra:
I am strong, powerful, healthy, and I believe in the power of being the best person I can be. I am creating a perfect body that is lean, toned, and fit. I see myself in the mirror as that body. It is mine. I will obtain it.
Five things I will accomplish in the next 12 weeks:
1. Within the next 12 weeks I will lose 30 pounds of fat and have a healthy BMI
2. Within the next 12 week I will have a very defined body in which my arms, legs, and stomach will be toned/ripped
3. I will eat six meals per day of high quality protein and complex carbohydrates in the correct portions, with vegetables in two of the meals
4. Within the next 12 weeks I will reach a new level of fitness by achieving the addition of core centered works outs into my routine and yoga
5. Within the next 12 weeks I will be transformed into another body shape that will be wearing a size 12 and weighing 160 pounds
I will continue: working out 6 days per week, pushing myself, being happen, encouraging my husband, and loving life!
