Week 2 and 3 Progress

Was a little behind on posting this. I got swamped this week at the office. Better Late than Never! Right?!?

The last two weeks have been pretty amazing.

The shape of my body has really started to change and I am seeing some definite health benefits. The Blood Pressure is down to 125/77 and the resting heart rate sits around 77-85 on a regular basis.

At the end of week 2 I had lost around 8lbs.

At the end of week 3 I had lost around 12….but then something happened….

I mixed up my workout routine and I made a small (but easily fixable) mistake. I didn’t match my food intake to the new program. The new program is a much higher intensity workout than what I had been doing and my body wasn’t getting enough nutrition to support it. Alot of people believe that a hard workout and little food is the way to go to lose weight. Those people would be wrong.

You have to match your intake to your output or your body decides that it has to start conserving. The day that I started eating more was the day that the weight loss started back. I actually gained four pounds back before I made the tiny tweak.

At the end of the first month of this, we are starting something a little different on the food side. You can read all about it at http://www.bluffee.com/2010/04/07/30-days-at-the-poplar-bluff-bread-company/.

I am super excited with the progress so far.

I took a few pictures at the beginning of this and I’m really nervous about posting them…. Going to have to think about that one
