Today is my sixth day on Level One of 30 Day Shred. It has been a long week, let me tell you! There were some days that my body hurt so bad, that I lived on Ibuprofen and it took a lot of get up and go to get off my butt to do that day's workout. But, I did. And I can feel a difference in my body even if I can't really see any difference yet. My energy level is up, my muscles are sore - but in a good way. Level One is becoming more manageable and I am able to get into the stances more and more. Tomorrow is my day off and I'm 1/2 way looking forward to it and 1/2 way not. I hope that by taking a day off it won't be harder to do when I come back to do it again on Monday!I've been consistently staying in my calorie range and drinking my water. I've found that my appetite is fluctuating a bit. There are days when I am starving - the ones that I burn the most calories. And then there are days when I struggle to get to my minimum of 1200 calories. However, if I am starving before a workout, I usually am not after the workout. And my tastes have been changing quite a bit as well. I can taste grease and salt much more now and I don't like it at all. I've actually thrown food away that I 'thought' would taste good because I used to eat it regularly since now it tastes too salty or greasy. This is a good thing.
My DD14 and I took my measurements the other night and I am happy to say that I've lost inches over the last two weeks. I will post in more detail on Monday when I do my weigh-in post.
Oh, and guess what? I found a bunch of other Bloggers who are doing the Shred in June, too! Check them all out by clicking on the button below!
Your journey is already so inspiring. You rock! How'd your work out go today?
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you and your progress! I'm on day 4 of the shred, and I'm feeling much better too. I'm sore, but it's good! Keep going, you're doing a great job!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I can't wait for day 6 or 7 so I can really start to feel a difference. And as far as tasting the "bad" stuff in food...it is so true. Last year before I got pregnant I lost a lot of weight and when ever I would taste something sweet after that it was too much!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for your progress!
How awesome. I can't wait to see your progress. Thanks so much for linking up. Way to go!
