Week # 1 is in the books and I am loving this program so far
It is challenging. It has different exercises that I haven't done before, and it really pushes me more everyday. Eating this past week has been on PAR, which I'm SO proud about. Day #1 - 3 were a little bit tough to get through the cravings and such but then it got easier as the week went on. Even over the weekend when I tend to get a little relaxed I kept looking at that meal plan I had made and I'm sticking to it.
The hubby and I even went out for a date night on Saturday and I'm happy to say I stuck with the best choices then as well. I had soup and salad and a coffee. No wine (this was a TOUGH one to say no too, because we don't go out much together so when we do we REALLY enjoy ourselves and split a bottle) and no dessert. We also went to a movie and I had one or two kernels of popcorn but felt it really wasn't worth it to eat any more than that as we just had our meals. Funny how extra calories can just sneak in there when you aren't focused on it. I stuck with my water and thought about how my mindset had changed this past week. It was getting easier and easier to say no to those things that usually derail me. I didn't want all the hard work from the week to be a waste of effort or time. I really want to see what this program can do when followed as written.
There is something so fun and exciting about starting a new workout program. I had no idea what the workouts would be like at all. I didn't know what to expect, so it was exciting to put the day's scheduled workout DVD in one just go with it. These workouts ranged from 25-45 minutes, so it was really easy to fit into a busy day.
Here was the schedule for Week #1 Workouts.
Each day I did also added in either Hammer or Chisel 10 min Ab Fix
Here was the schedule for Week #1 Workouts.
Each day I did also added in either Hammer or Chisel 10 min Ab Fix
MONDAY - Chisel Balance - a total-body workout creating stabilization, muscular endurance, and core strength
WEDNESDAY - ISO Strength Chisel - an intense resistance workout using isometric holds and flexibility to increase strength
THURSDAY - day off - REALLY APPRECIATED as the muscle soreness was setting in
FRIDAY - ISO Speed Hammer - a temp training workout that uses speed and isometric holds to create strength and grow muscle
SATURDAY - Chisel endurance - increases muscular endurance and strength in this time-under-tension workout.
SUNDAY - Total Body Hammer - a hypertrophy workout focused on pyramid-style sets to maximize strength and muscle growth
Going into week #2 of this program, I know what to expect. I know what the workouts are like and I know it will get easier each week as I get stronger. I'm getting more comfortable with making the meal plans each week, which I've just finished up so I KNOW I'm going to be fully prepared for week #2. I can't tell you how important this has been for me when wanting to keep up and follow with a program properly.
ALRIGHT, I'm ready for week #2. Are you ready??
If you think you'd like to participate in a challenge in the future, it really is simple.
I help you pick a program that is right for you, your fitness level, goals, and lifestyle. I help you meal plan, and also support you along the way in an online support group with others also working through their program. We are all better together. The more we share and support and keep each other accountable, the more success we all have, I truly believe that.
