Rachaels Phase 2 Mid-Point Challenge

Well I am reporting that I am chuffed that I have done 2 resistance workouts already for phase 2 and my goal was to do 3. Serious DOMS happening but all good. Tonight I did 40 mins on the tready with about a 1 min sprint (lungs unable to catch up and the treadmills are ancient at my gym) and 30min resistance workout followed by an hour of pilates. Crap that was 2hrs 20mins at the gym which is the longest I have ever been in a gym for doing work. Also managed a walk this morning taking kids to school.

Eating is still under progress, but am adding another goal to my list and that is

• be prepared for outings at ALL times as this saves skipping meals I need to eat
  

Weekly weigh in

Well my weigh ins are Saturdays so have done the deed and have a little to report. Because the beginning of my second week turned out shit and I jumped on the social family shit eating wagon whilst interstate I found it a little difficult getting back on the "good eating" wagon when I got home. But I managed to recoup myself with some dignity and started back properly yesterday. So my weigh in is from last Saturdays quick jump on the scales and the measurements are from my first initial measure (2 weeks ago).

Weight - up by 0.75
1cm loss on chest & waist
0.5cm loss on left arm, hips, biggest part of bum, both thighs, left calf.

So I am not sure, I think my back is out and I am using my left side more than my right. Any ideas anyone.

Missed Phase 1- Day 13 - Phase 2

Well I am at day 13 so I am just into Phase 2. Missed phase 1. So better late than never. Well my first week went extremely well, I must say I did a massive 1.6kg loss by mid week and then took an interstate trip. Yep driving and being totally unprepared and slotting in with others bad habits, I did fall way off the wagon and put it back on. YUK. Anyway so now I am home trying to correct my ways. Today I am going to be totally prepared. After spending the majority of yesterday afternoon doing my protien cookups for the week, they are now packed in the freezer ready to eat when the timer tells me to. So giddy up I am back on the wagon.....

So my goals for the rest of phase 2 are:

1. drink more water, at least 3 x 750ml bottles
2. eat when I am suppose to
3. do at least 3 resistance workouts
4. do at least 5 days of cardio
5. blog more often again
