Super-psyched to be starting stage #2 tomorrow, and I have mentioned on a few different posts, I have dabbled a bit with the moves so I can do the workout tomorrow with no hiccups in form and keep moving.
I did abstain from any serious lifting, which I have to say was pretty damn hard, but continued to do some body weight circuit-type workouts as well as get in some much needed cardio.
I've been a little frustrated after studying my starting and one-month photos. I'm really not seeing much difference (nor am I fishing for anyone to tell me otherwise
), so I think I will be focusing on working with as much weight as realistic for me on weight-training days but also getting back to doing some serious cardio. on my off days. If anyone has any other ideas for really trimming down, I'd love to hear suggestions. My eating has been great, and I'm still tracking daily to stay accountable. If anything, I'm falling a little under for caloric intake but still hitting goals for protein/vs./carbs. which has always been my Achilles Heel. I've cut back significantly on alcohol intake, and all the little "treats" that I had allowed myself to get back into eating (chocolate, etc. . . ). Anyway, just had to vent a little and I'm really hating that feeling of hitting the wall, so to speak.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
