First couple of training days

I have not blogged in a few days. I have been busy with the start of this program, working and getting the kids back to school. For all who all following this is a quick catch up on what we have been doing

Tuesday, our first group meeting day was geared for getting our weight and measurements. Pictures were taken, including one in just a sports bra, all my fat rolls exposed for Dan and I to look back on. Next we did a basic skills test. It consisted of one minute intervals to see how many squats, sit-ups, pull up and push up we could do in a  minute. At the end of 4 weeks we will do again to see how we have progressed. It will be neat to see the changes every four weeks.

Wednesday Dan took all us around Publix Supermarket showing us all the foods we can have. When you are changing your food intake lifestyle it is important to focus on all the the things you can have like fresh fruits and veggies and  lean cuts of meats. Its a must to avoid white breads, grains and sugar. Processed foods with ingredients you dont recognize is a No No. If you must have "breads" Whole wheat pasta, whole wheat rice, steal cut oats or whole grain English muffins are ok just limit the amount you eat. Water is key,( for me 75oz is recommended) and my diet cola is a major NO NO. I am in the process of cutting back from 8 a day to none a day.( Today I am quite proud that I only had one.)  Its important to live by the 90/10 rule and be good 90% of the time and bad 10%. This will be a big change for me since all this time I had the numbers backwards. Bad 90% of the time 10% I was good. I knew I should have paid more attention  in school.

Today , Thursday was our first workout. Sore from the lil we did on Tuesday I was not sure what to expect. I woke up today sore and with a major headache, most likey from my diet cola with draw. If I was to be going to the gym on my own I can tell you I would have stayed in bed. I felt like the bitch of all bitches today but still to the gym I go. I had a good work out I am not sure if I was 100% there cause of the way I was feeling but I did give all that I had for right then. We did interval training three minutes on the workout machines and then one minute rotation on squats, push ups and pull ups. We rotated several times I felt like I was pushing myself at the time but looking back I could have done more. So with that said watch out ladies Steph will be bringing her A game next time and going to win this competition.
