Week 7 Recap

So, it's been 7 weeks since I started exercising regularly. It's only been 2 weeks though since I started the Turbo Fire workouts. From now on I am going to use the Turbo Fire weeks to mark my progress, since it was two weeks ago when I took my measurements, took starting pictures and started the routine.

I am happy to say that in two weeks I have made some progress! According to the scale (which I have not decided yet whether to trust or not), I have lost 4-5 pounds. My actual weigh-in isn't for another two weeks, so we'll see. If that's real, then I've lost around 2 pounds a week, which is great.

Out of the 12 days of exercise on the Turbo Fire schedule, I did all but one. I missed last Sunday's workout, which was supposed to be a sculpting/stretch session. I don't feel too bad since I didn't miss a single intense cardio session. From now on though, no excuses! 6 workouts a week, no exceptions.

The workouts have been good. The first week I got myself out of bed every morning to do the weekday workouts, this past week it was half and half. I woke up two days, and the other two days I chose to workout at night when Matt was at taekwondo. Although I prefer getting it out of the way, I've realized some days I just need more sleep. The goal is to not miss a day, no matter what. If it means sleeping in and doing it that night, then so be it.

The diet has been mostly clean this past week. I had half a slice of pizza with my salad at Costco during our monthly shopping, but other than that it's been salads, chicken, curry etc.

This week's goals:

Wake up at least two mornings to exercise
Eat healthy every meal
Do something extra: a walk one night, or hiking, or an extra core workout, something not on the schedule.

Pretty happy with the results this week, minus the break down last night I am feeling really good! Bring on week 3 of the Turbo Fire! Only 4 solid weeks left until Malaysia. My goal is 10 pounds by then, but we'll see. I'm going to really have to cut a few calories and eat extra healthy!
