*Editing to add I am down 4lbs since starting! That’s a pound a week. Not too shabby!*
We did it! One month down, two to go. We are a third of the way through the Live Fit Trainer. Of course Phase 1 is the ‘easy’ phase. No cardio, just getting you into the habit of lifting weights and eating clean. Phase 2 is a whole new monster. We move from 4-5 days a week in the gym to 6. SIX. We can’t pull that off so we will most likely be dropping a leg day since there are 2. Also, we are adding cardio in after our lifting FOUR days a week.
If things don’t start changing up this month I must be doing something wrong.
So far through Phase 1 the workouts have been great. Some I dislike more than others but over all we are really liking the fact that we focus on a couple body parts a day vs 3 full body days per week. It’s different and I feel like I’m really working those muscles more since the whole day is dedicated to them.
The other half of the program would be diet…or should we call it ‘lifestyle change’. Not really a DIET. You know, eat within 30 minutes of waking up and again every 3 hours. Get your protein, avoid processed stuff…the normal clean eating rules.
I suck at it. I’m so back and forth. One week I’m great! Totally on track and sticking with it and then I have a cheat meal and suddenly I forgot that I ever was eating right.
Meh.
Phase 2 seems to be a lot of the same with nutrition but beginning to reduce carbs.
Which sounds awful because I really do puffy heart my carbs.
This seems to be the phase that I quit in but I’m dead set on finishing this whole program. I know things will come up and I wont be able to follow it 100% but I will do what I can and make it work for me. Wish me luck.
