Week 1, day 2 & 3

Disc W, Week 1, Day 2

Hello, hello! I didn't have time to update after workout 2, so I'm going to update day 2 and 3 in one post.

On day 2, I woke up with sore abs. I didn't even know I had abs. I know that the way the program is designed, I should be burning maximum calories throughout the day, if I push myself hard enough. So..That's exactly what I'm going to do! 

On the calendar that comes with the kit, day 2 suggests to begin using your food guide to help you succeed. I say that if you haven't already checked it out, by day 2 you definitely should be looking into it. 

The food guide comes with a lot of great meal suggestions, but  has more to offer than just recipes. Inside are really helpful tips and a great excerpt in the front to help you understand the formula for how to calculate how many calories you should be eating. Not everyone is the same, so just because a friend has lost an amazing amount of weight eating "X" amount of calories a day, doesn't mean you should be following that plan as well. By following the easy formula in the guide I found out what I should be consuming.  

In order to maintain my current weight, I'm allowed 2,857 calories/day

In order to lose weight, I'm allowed 2,286

Not a bad plan, either. Since we started eating whole foods, my meals carry me over for much longer periods of time and I staying within those caloric parameters should be no issue at all.

Knowing what you consume (and the ingredients listed) is nearly the entire reason I started this blog. Start reading labels for all of the items you put in your cart when you go grocery shopping, it won't be hard after long to keep track of your calories.

There are also a lot of different apps available that will keep track of your calories for you. Now there's really no excuse :) 

One new thing I learned today, finding only 4 minutes to work out is really VERY easy! 

Disc W, Week 1, Day 3

Day 3 is here and I'm much more sore than day 2. But not to the point where I can't get up or walk around comfortably. Just to the point where I realize my muscles have probably gone dormant and they are just in an erupting phase..awaken after years of rest (insert spooky noises here). 

So far, I have had a killer time for 3 days straight and I've only spent 12 minutes of my time working out! I can't believe that! I love that I don't have to have a room full of gym equipment, either. All of my 20 Second Fitness  tools fit in a small bag (that came with the kit!). 

I've only needed to use a resistance band so far (I'm using the "beginner" one right now) and my exercise mat. 2 pieces of exercise items and 4 minutes of your time...too easy.

I'm actually really excited for tomorrow to see what forms I'll be doing then. I'm learning a lot of new techniques that I've never seen before and they are, so far, very effective for me (I can feel the progress in my muscles!)
