My food intake was pretty darn awesome this week. I measured everything, made my greens take up half my plate and I even had water only for a couple of days. (As far as beverages go, not just water all day! LOL)

Also, one thing that I am noticing is that my appetite has increased more now that I am lifting more often and heavier. This was definitely an unexpected side effect as my cardio has been reduced dramatically. There is definitely less wiggle room, so I have to tighten up the diet.

I’ve been conquering that 5pm hungry monster by eating a small 100 calorie snack at 4pm when I leave work. It makes a huge difference because when I get home from work I am no longer dying for something to snack on.

The Jamie Eason LiveFit Trainer week 2 & 3 is beast. Last week I was sore, but I managed. This week I wanted to cry for mommy, smack myself, or maybe do both at the same time. On the website, as week 3 began, she says “this is where we start building muscle”

Say what now?

I thought we were already doing that!!

Apparently, that was the warm up. The third week you work out five times, and the workout for each muscle group gets more and more intense, for example, I was using machines I didn’t even know existed–like this one:

I am sore all over. However, I have taken some of the BCAA’s (an amino acid supplement) that was provided to me from the gracious folks over at bodybuilding.com. They definitely took the edge off the soreness but I am still aware of every muscle. I expected this because a) its a tough program and b) I haven’t strength trained exclusively ever.

I say all of that to say, I feel stronger, like in a really wonderful way. The compliments are coming again, and I am loving the lean look that is happening, and that is just in 2.5 weeks! Unfortunately my schedule doesn’t allow me to do the trainer in exact order, but I am not skipping days, I just keep going back to back.

It’s time for you to check IN! What is the last thing you did that pushed you way out of your comfort zone? How are your food/fitness goals coming along this week? Don’t forget to encourage EACH OTHER in the comments!
