- Notes:
- I’m only officially down 0.2 pounds in these four weeks, but the day before my initial weigh-in, I weighed 141.4 pounds, so looking at that (I always thought the initial weigh-in of 140.0 was strange), I’m down anywhere from 0.2 – 1.6 pounds – and considering I’m truly in maintenance mode, I’m pretty happy with where I am
- Body fat is holding nicely at 21.4%, and I started at 22.9% (or 22.4% the day prior to weigh-in) so I’m down anywhere from 1.0% – 1.5% which is HUGE for me – losing body fat has been really hard since I plateaued in weight 15 weeks ago
- I have met all of my goals in regards to doing every.single.PiYo workout and getting at least 5 hours of exercise in a week. My mileage goal was NOT met this past week, but I’m OK with that
- PiYo is working for me.. loving it. My arms are constantly sore and my ass is hurting most days – which means it’s working (remember Binactin from when we were kids? “the burning means it’s working.” HA!)
- Here is my workout schedule so far – I’ve made up every PiYo workout if it was skipped and have stuck to the amount of BOD workouts – so it’s going really, really well and I’m enjoying it
- Also below are my “before and after” photos for the first 4 weeks. The lighting was different, I look like death warmed over in the after photos, but it’s just mid-challenge so I don’t really care 😉 I do see changes, even if just slightly. There is less padding on my belly for sure. In the mirror, my abs seem to pop and so do my shoulders – the PiYo is working! (These photos are all with flexed abs.)
Goals for the Next 8 Weeks:
- Finish on 12/31/2015 SAFELY in the 130’s (meaning a couple of weeks prior to 12/31 weighing in in the 137-139 range)
- I’d really, REALLY love to see a body fat percentage in the 21% range again on my handheld body fat monitor
- I want to see major changes in my physique since I’m so dedicated to PiYo
- Complete 5+ hours a week of dedicated exercise
- Run
20-2515-20 miles a week on average - Complete the full PiYo 8 week program
- Supplement my fitness with at least 2 BOD (bea.chbo.dy on dem.and) workouts a week
- Stay within daily net calorie goal of 1390 calories at least 5 days a week
