6 Week Fitness Challenge Update

Omggggg. This challenge is hard!

It has been kicking my butt. The hardest part has been the core exercises, I don’t work my core at all 😂

But I’ve seen so much success:

• I am losing weight, people are actually noticing the physical changes.

• My jawline is poppinggggg 😁😁😁

• My collarbone is coming through nicely 😁😁😁

• I can’t fit any of my sweatpants anymore, which is frustrating because that’s what I like to wear 😁😒

• I’m lifting sooo heavy, which is something I’ve never really done before. I prefer to do lower weight with higher reps. But with the changes I’m seeing now, I see the benefits of doing fewer reps while lifting heavy weights.

• I’ve lost 4 pounds in the last 3 weeks, which isn’t a lot but I’m losing fat and building muscle. The goal for me is to be heart healthy and strong. I’m reaching the goal for sure. The smallest I’ve ever been is 150 lbs and at that weight, I was a size 4/small because of the muscle I had, I fit clothes that the scale said I shouldn’t.

I’m getting back to the old me. My starting weight (SW) was 212.8 lbs. My current weight (CW) is 189 lbs and my goal weight (GW) is 145 lbs…or whatever gets me into a size 4 again.

Here’s my fitness routine:

- I walk 30 miles per week, I have a dog and I am a dog walker. I walk a lotttt.

- I work out 7 days per week. My workout split is:

Mondays: Quads & Glutes

Tuesdays: Chest, Biceps & Core

Wednesdays: Back, Glutes & Hamstrings

Thursdays: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps & Core

Fridays: Quads & Glutes

Saturdays: Cardio & Core (the hardest day of the week)

Sundays: Active Rest Day — Six Mile Sunday, I walk 6 miles with my dog, I don’t rush and it takes me 2 hours

My diet is simple: I eat no more than 1384 calories per day and I get 120g of protein a day. I eat 4 or 6 meals a day, 6 meals at 200 calories each or 4 meals with 350 calories each.

Meal 1: Pre-Workout, Creatine, Vanilla protein shake with light pineapple juice

Meal 2: 1 medium egg, 6 tbsp egg whites scrambled with mozzarella cheese and an avocado

Meal 3: 4 ozs protein with all the veggies I can take

Meal 4: 4 ozs protein with veggies or a salad and protein water

Meal 5: Greek yogurt or protein yogurt with Tru Fru
