I was thrown right in the mix with tough workouts where I burn about 1000 calories in an hour. With a mixture of weight training and cardio I feel like I'll hit my weight loss goals pretty quick. Then comes the fine tuning, the muscle gain, body sculpting, the dieting to make my body do just what I need; that's going to be the tough part.
As far as my food goes, during week 1, Snap Kitchen was my savior. With pre-measured and labeled meals that are ready to eat and taste pretty dang good, I feel the only thing I sacrificed was $$$ (about $8 per meal). It was great though as I didn't have much time to cook last week. Easter weekend was tough as I went home and for the first time in a VERY long while and skipped my favorite meal in the world: Avila's Chile Con Queso Steak. This isn't Tex-mex queso, this is green chile melted in to special cheese that they age for 45 days just for this plate, and then generously top over a piece of juicy fatty ground beef. It's amazing, but it is also probably well over 1000 calories, so I skipped it. Sunday was my cheat day and I indulged in my first beer since before Ash Wednesday at about 9:15 am...it was awesome!
This week has been great, I started cooking at home and have hit my calorie and workout goals every single day. I am literally drooling over my planned cheat meal on Sunday though...I'm thinking Franklin's BBQ around 11 am and then a big fat juicy hamburger for dinner! Two more workouts to go, then I get my rest day and cheat day.
The changes in the pictures below are minimal which makes me anxious for the photoshoot that is 10 weeks away! I can't wait to see what happens. Thanks to everyone for their support and overall curiosity with this journey..I've gotta show you all that I can do it and that accountabillity is great motivation!
