As of Monday, September 27th
- chest: 41"
- waist (around the bellybutton): 39"
- hips: 47"
- thighs: 27.5"
- biceps (flexing): 13.5"
- weight: 205lbs
So there it is folks. Perhaps I will peruse my photos when I have a moment later today and post an accurate portrayal of my weight right now. Maybe I'll even have Mike just take a quick picture of me today so it can be really accurate.
Now for boring regular stats from yesterday:
- total calories: 1636 - I even ate some ice cream with crumbled cone on top and didn't go over my processed sugar grams for the day! Very proud of that! That means for the last week, including today, I've stayed under 40 grams of processed sugar everyday!
- calories burned: 250 - this is a low-ish estimate. I attempted to do my 20 mins of HIIT (high intensity interval training) but Mike had to work late which means I had my 4 yr old in tow... you would think a 4 yr old boy would have enough energy to keep up for what was a essentially a 20 minute jog. NOPE! He dragged and moped and whiiiiiined the WHOLE TIME. Also asked me to carry his 50lb. butt several times.. I was like, "No way, dude." So I did an extra 10 mins of running up and down my stairs when we got back home because I feel like I wasn't really able to push myself while I was out with him. Plan of action for the future: bring workout clothes to work and jog around the pond before I get the kiddo from daycare or do the whole routine on my stairs if the hubby isn't home from work.
- 0 cigarettes - that's two days so far, woo! Saturday will be the hardest for me since my mom is having a ladies night... and almost all the other ladies are smokers. We'll see how it goes.
- 11:30pm bedtime - stayed up til a little after 11pm watching Harry Potter. I'm trying to watch all the movies again before the newest one comes out in November. I turned the lights off and ATTEMPTED to fall asleep about 11:30pm... however my husband had other ideas.. ie: staying up until after midnight blaring the football game. -.-
- $5 spent on Taco Bell for lunch - 7-layer burrito with a regular taco and a small soda.
So my goals for this week are:
- $40 budget for the week
- $100 for the month of October starting Friday (following Maury's example on this one)
- 40g of processed sugars or less daily
- 2 detox fruits daily
- 2 eggs daily
- 3 cups detox veggies daily
- whey protein daily
- 3 liters lemon water daily
- 5 days of HIIT cardio for 20 mins
- $100 for the month of October starting Friday (following Maury's example on this one)
- 40g of processed sugars or less daily
- 2 detox fruits daily
- 2 eggs daily
- 3 cups detox veggies daily
- whey protein daily
- 3 liters lemon water daily
- 5 days of HIIT cardio for 20 mins
- continue to cut back on smoking, 5 cigarettes a day or less
Is the 40g or less of processed sugar the only thing Jackie Warner limits in the two week jumpstart? What happens after the first two weeks? - have you gotten that far in the book?
ReplyDelete40g is what's actually recommended by the FDA or whatever. Jackie Warner says you should eat however you would normally eat during the jumpstart - all she wants you to do during those 2 weeks is add the supplements, whey protein, eggs, fruits and veggies to what you would already normally be eating. Also you start doing 20 mins of cardio everyday during the jumpstart.. after that you have to eat "clean" for 5 days mon-fri (which means no processed foods or sugary snacks) and then on the weekends you get "cheat meals" which cannot exceed 1500 calories a piece... THAT'S A LOT OF CALORIES FOR A MEAL lol
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a really easy plan to follow, very common sense. She really focuses on exercise, though. It's not just eating right - she preaches 20 mins of high-intensity interval cardio 5 days a week and circuit training with weights 3 times a week. She lays it all out in the book - gives you the workout routines with pictures and everything, plus recipes for "clean" meals, etc, etc... pretty good deal for a $15 book!
Her whole mantra is to break the addiction to sugary processed foods, get your hormones in check with your diet, and basically get your body addicted to that workout "high" that comes with high-intensity training. Super simple, but pretty brilliant. The tone of the book is really inspiring too. She gives sources for all the body chemistry jargon she talks about so it's easy to double-check what she's saying against medical studies and stuff - plus she doesn't pull any of this "I was once a fatty too", she flat-out says she was never a "big" person, but that she just had a horrible way of eating and so even though she was always thin it didn't mean she was in good health.. she was "skinny fat".
Anyways, I'm really enjoying it so far - I def recommend picking it up. I got my copy off amazon on sale for like $12. :)
