5D Wednesday

W2, D3 of the 5DPT.
(Code: 2nd week, 3rd day of the 5day pouch test) lol

Day 3: Soft Protein
canned fish (tuna or salmon) eggs, fresh soft fish (tilapia, sole, orange roughy. Read more.
So that means a nice bacon & cheddar omlet for breakfast & tuna for lunch!

I have to say, that I feel really good!
After just about 2 weeks on the 5DPT, I feel like im prepared to take on the Atkins for 6 weeks.
My body is phisically hurting right now b/c I started a weight lifting regimine & incorporated that w/ my little WO routine.
Previously i was doing 20 mins/day on the TM + yoga 1x/wk. That really didnt seem to produce any results. At least (after about a week & a half mind you), not the kind of WL results I am accustomed to seeing (being a GBS patient & all - you know - the kind of result we all saw in the first week(s) post op). So i decided my little 20min/day 3-4 days/wk wasnt cuttin it.

This week, i changed that to:
30-45mins/day on the TM or Bike
Yoga 1x/week
mon-fri weight training, alternating: Upper/ Core/ Lower/ Core/ Upper muscle groups.
I started off w/ Upper on monday & my arms & sholders are STILL KILLING ME! but i have to say its a good killing me:) This morning I did 45mins on the TM & it's getting more & more difficult to walk as the day goes on.

I think im sleeping better as well. I started taking PM tys, which helps me go to sleep earlier & sleep solidly (seriously - i am knocked out!!)

Im really looking forward to burning off this fat & replacing it w/ tighter toner healthier muscle!
I really want to get back to the ******y chick i was at 165.

How are you doing?

Candace,
You are doing awesome! I need to do core training but just don't want to! I would rather run or Zumba. I am getting ready for a half marathon in September but after that I think I will start with the weight training/core work; you have inspired me!

Hey Mary!!
That is great news. Big ups to you for doing a 1/2 marathon!!  It was a goal of mine (a while back) to do the Maui 1/2. A couple of years ago I thought I would be ready to do it & would accomplish that goal this year (so many things are happening this year - why not add that to the pile!). But NOW i am really not seeing ir in 2010.
Maybe 2012. lol

I wish i could run - i started a little mini jog today on the TM for about a min at a time - but thats about the extent of my "running" or "jogging" lol
But one - ONE DAY i will be able to run :) & I hear Zumba is an AWESOME WO! Thats core training in itself!!

Im so glad my input has inspired you :) Thank you so much. Knowing that Im helping others, helps me :)
