Day 38, wow, moving right along!

So it’s day 38, back & biceps and ab ripper x.  Great workout today.  Last week I started using the chin-up bar with the help of a chair.  The key is to not use your leg as much as possible.  I don’t want to get more of a leg workout than a back workout.  So I did about 10 reps with good form for most of the chin-up exercises.  I still can’t do one without a chair, but hello, Dreya still uses a chair too!!  I don’t want huge arms, but I like using the 40 lb band for the bicep exercises!  I am starting to notice a TINY bit of definition in my arms and I like it!  I don’t want body builder arms, and I don’t think I would ever make it that far, but I do want little bumps!

My form is getting better with ab ripper.  I have been able to do all of the reps for a couple weeks now, but the movement is getting cleaner.  I was really struggling with the oblique side crunches and the mason twists, but I think I have those down now.  Working on that tummy!!!

For breakfast, I had a little more than usual, but nothing bad.  I just don’t want to be starving at lunch and eat something bad.  So I had my egg white scramble, and I added a recovery drink/shakeology smoothie.  I added skim milk, a little water, ice, and frozen strawberries.  It was really good and I really needed it!  My arms were really sore.  I am already starting to feel better!  So I figured the shake and eggs would fill me up a little better.  I had that at about 11 am this morning.  It’s only 12:47 and I am hungry, but I think my metabolism is speeding up.  If I only had the eggs, I would be starving to death right now!!!  So I think I will start to have both from now on every morning.

Is there anyone out there that has been on a diet for more than a month?  I like that it’s helping me loose weight, but do you know what I hate???  If I do slip and eat one more carb than I should, I feel like my belly gets instantly bigger!!!  I like eating healthy, but it makes me feel so bad when I eat anything outside of the plan!  I think I am dwelling stupid stuff!

Well, I will talk to you all tomorrow!  Hoping to loose 2 lb that will put me over a 10 lb loss so far!

    Hi Erin, I found a great way to curb my carbs. I use fat free organic milk (80 cals per cup) add a banana and a scoop or 2 of protein powder (rocky road is my fav) and 4 ice cubes to make a shake. Its light yet filling and tastes great.

    Wow! This workout is so hard for me. biceps get real tired real fast then I struggle with the pull ups massively. For example, the first set, I can do 12 pullup without chair and 12 with chair. For the last set, I did 4 without chair and 12 with. Just ridiculous how well made this workout is.

    Yoga up next!!!
