Hi Ladies,
I don't normally post at night, but I am down a total of 19.2lbs and am super stoked about it!!!!! The cleanse has kickstarted my weightloss again. I was just going up and down the same 2lbs for about the past month.
TG-Yes, I started STS last week. As long as it doesn't negatively impact my weight loss I plan on completing it. If my weight starts going up then I'll have to reconsider. Being a pear shaped gal, I like to do extra leg work. I always say if my legs/butt have to be big...at least they don't have to jiggle. So for my STS rotation I'll do non sts legs/STS UB/STS Legs/STS UB and throw cardio/BR in between the weight work.
Laura-only 59, so young. So sorry for your loss. It's sad that often times it takes a death in the family to bring everyone together. I'm not doing a liquid cleanse, it's real whole foods. To be honest, most of the recipes have been really good. It is a lot of work planning, prepping and preparing most of the meals in advance so I can have the ready to grab and go for work. For example I've had Beet & Fennel Soup, Mango Salad, Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Cilantro Pesto (my favorite so far), Cucumber, Celery and Avocado soup, Spicy Carrot & Ginger Soup, Baked Sweet Potato with Kale Slaw. The breakfasts are green smoothies with fruits & veggies, snacks are home prepared Kale Chips, Coconut Trail mix, Guacamole Veggies, apple, carrots. I start week 2 on Friday and we get to add in grains, bananas and eggs. Of course, I'm enjoying a glass of wine which is not on the cleanse.
Since my weigh-ins are on Wednesday, I usually have a heavier meal or CAB that evening as I have all week to work it off!
Wendy-I love your workouts...so inspiring. It has honestly taken me years to realize I do not need a full hour of steady state cardio all the time! I think the NASM class is around $9,000 through Lifetime Fitness. Not sure when I would fit in school with my full time job. They are having an informational class next week so I may attend that and it's close to my house. It looks like classes are one night per week from 5:30-8:00pm.
Tomorrow is either STS UB or the next day of the BR challenge.
