Training plan: 2 week progress

calendar included with FOCUS T25 system

Boone fell asleep watching me.  Notice beautiful baby folds - 100% breast milk baby!

 Looking at my stats from the first week, my weight hasn't changed at all, but my chest has shrunk and my waist has grown!  Not a flattering result.  I can only conclude that this is because I breast fed just prior to measuring and maybe I'm a little bloated from all the sodium in the turkey bacon I consumed yesterday!  (Turkey bacon makes a yummy salad topping by the way).  However, I am feeling great, my cardio endurance has improved, and I'm feeling more like my pre-pregnancy self in terms of energy and "get-up-an-go"!

This entire process also reinforces something I have known about myself for awhile, I thrive on structure and routine.  Having the visual reminder of the calendar on my fridge and checking off each workout every day motivates me.  Also, as soon as I jump out of bed in the morning, I get into my workout clothes, then I know that I have to complete my workout before I get out of the house for the day!

As far as my diet goes, I just started reading Chris Powell's Choose More, Lose More for Life.  The concept of carb-cycling is explained and I've started to dabble in it...we will see.
