Today starts the last week of Phase 1 (Pink Primary). I am now basically on cruise control. What I mean by this is, eating healthy and exercising daily is a habit now. I'm sure this is why Cynthia says in the beginning of the P.I.N.K Method book, commit to the program for atleast 3 weeks (21 days). Research has shown that if you perform an action for 21 days it becomes a habit. That Cynthia is so darn smart and sneaky :-)
I have been on the program now for a total of 28 days and the changes I have experienced are great! I have alot more energy and I sleep much better. I still fall asleep late, but my sleep is much deeper and I feel very rested when I awake in the mornings.
Today, I started using the five pound weights for the workouts. Boy what a difference two pounds makes. I had been using the two and three pound weights the first week and just the 3 pounds last week. Those five pound weights felt so much heavier, but I pushed myself and did the entire workout using them, with the exception of those dreadful Jumping Jacks :-( I hate those darn things!
So now for the reason I'm doing this program, weightloss; I lost another 1.5 pounds! Woohoo! I'm now 258.5. 1.5 pounds is actually within the normal healthy amount of weight you should lose in a week. Even though, alot of people on the program lose more in a week, 1 to 2 lbs is healthy according to the Mayo Clinc and other sources. You always want to lose weight in a healthy way and not too much too fast or your skin may not shrink with your body and then you have excess skin. Not a good look.
As usual, today's meals are below.
Until my next post...
