When I said HELL starts today and it is thanks to this lady!! Today, February 11, 2013 I started the 90 Body Revolution Challenge. Now I know some of you may be thinking, "oh I've heard this before" Well you are right. I have tried to start programs in the past and failed but at least I keep trying. I pray that I will be able to complete this challenge. It is only 90 days, I can do it!! I know it is going to be hard and some days I am not going to like it and someday I will most likely cry and say some choice words but I just pray (literally) that I can endure it make it through. I thought maybe if I blogged about it each day it would help me to stay motivated and dedicated. So hopefully at least one person follows along to cheer me on through out this journey. I also decided I would do a little overview of my diet and exercise and hopefully that will encourage others to get active and eat healthy. I am going to do before and after pictures but I do not dare post the before pictures until I have nice after pictures to show with it. :) I wouldn't want to embarrass myself or anyone else.
Week 1 Day 1 -
The
first week you have the option to do a Kickstart week. This consists
of twice daily workouts and a strict eating plan. She has you do an AM
workout and a PM workout. The nice thing is that the works outs are
only half an hour so you don't have to get up super early to do the
morning one. Now I have always had a hard time working out in the
morning because you don't have any food in your system and I am weak.
But since I work unless I get up at 3 am to eat something and let it
settle before I workout that is just something I have to deal with. And
again it is only for the first week so I guess I will make it through.
(If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this easier, let me
know)
I
went to bed last night excited about starting this program. I then
laid there thinking about it forever and then all I dreamed about was
doing it so by the time I woke up I felt like I should already be
done. ha ha but I got out of bed, got dressed, peeked on the baby,
closed her door so she wouldn't wake up and got moving. Surprising, it
wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. Granted it is only the 1st work out
but still Jillian is brutal so I was pleased. The AM workout consisted
on Shoulders, Triceps, Chest, Abs and Quads. It was a good workout but I
was feeling the lack of nutrition in my belly. Once I was done I went
to make my breakfast which was 1 Cup of Plain Non Fat Greek Style
yogurt, 1 tsp of cinnamon and 3 Tbsp of slivered almonds. Now I like
yogurt and cinnamon and almonds so I was thinking it would be that bad
but boy was I wrong!! Greek yogurt is disgusting!!! If anyone likes
this stuff, PLEASE let me know if there is a certain brand I should buy
because I seriously had to choke it down. BLAH!! But I ate it cause I
want to stick strictly to the eating plan this first week for maximum
results!

I eat Greek yogurt every morning, but I don't eat plain (I do USE plain yogurt as a substitute for sour cream in/on anything I would normally use sour cream in/on). It's not as low in sugar or calories, but you might want to try a vanilla Greek yogurt or another flavor (I like Oikos although it's not strictly traditional, and I eat flavors, Key Lime, Vanilla Coconut, Raspberry [awesome frozen for a sweet treat], and Banana cream), the flavors are always higher in sugar and calories, but still, for under 150 calories I'm getting 22 grams of protein and that's a pretty decent breakfast for me (it's my pre-workout breakfast and often my post workout protein kicker as well).
