I hope the weekend treated you well! Did you get to enjoy some fun in the sun? I sure hope so!
This week has been a great motivator for me! I had some really strong workouts and even though I had a minor setback (Heat Exhaustion) I really feel like I am starting to see slight changes is my appearance. I will be posting some pictures at the end of the seven weeks to see if you all can notice any changes as well.
The workouts have been going well and so has the nutritional changes! This week is the second week of being allowed to only drink water and I feel great. I dont really miss any of the other beverages anymore and it has only been 2 weeks! This week I started to avoid fried foods. It is usually difficult on the weekends more than the weekdays mainly because my wife and I go out to eat more on Friday and Saturday. This week we chose to have our date nights more of the ice cream variety. Now I know what your thinking, " I thought you were trying to eat healthy?" My response: Yes, I am. I am trying to make one healthy change at a time and so far getting rid of ice cream has not been part of it :-)
This week, however, the ice cream is no more....
This week my new workout plan is listed below and my modification on nutrition is no more unhealthy treats. The only snacks I am allowed to indulge in are fruits, veggies, nuts, or yogurt.
As for my fitness test, here are my results:
Pushup test: 46 Reps
5K time: 24:19
Again, improvement in both categories. I know I will eventually start to plateau but for now, I will enjoy the success! My 5k time has dropped over three and a half minutes from what it originally was! Thats nearly a half of a mile faster in regards to when I would cross the finish line! Also, my pushups are 10 higher than originally which means I improved my over 20% since starting my challenge!
Feel free to comment on your own success! I would love to hear about it!
