tuesday - did two of the workouts, kept to the calories...it was a recovery day, so missing another stretching workout hardly seemed like a huge deal... wed - did two and about 1/3 workouts, achilles tendon started really bugging me so I decided to halt the final workout and do some foam rolling instead...keeping to the…

monday I did the 3rd workout, and 4 of my 5 miles...I did have to modify and not to the jumping part of the plyo moves, but just stepped through them...i also swapped out lunges for squats which are more stable...and I skipped the sprawls entirely because no way to really modify those they are a hip flexor killer no matter…
-
Saturday - I did indeed do the workout...and I did stick to maintenance Sunday - not so much...I got up and did my morning workout, then a friend came over for some sewing help * 90 minutes late * and stayed until 4pm...had I known she would be so late, I would have done my lunch workout in the morning...I expected the…

workout 3/day: 10 min morning brazil butt lift lunch revabs after work/evening 5 poverty days per week (not more than 2 maintenance) track everything all the time

Friday (the 1st) was great...poverty calories, all the workouts, 5 miles, even a lot of cleaning around the house...total WIN! Saturday (the 2nd) started great...got up early, planned food, did my morning and lunch workout because I had to drive to a track meet so was not going to be able to workout at lunch...then…

October start: weight - 157.4 (likely overstated because TOM) waist - 29 3/4 (likely accurate, not feeling any real bloating for this TOM) abs - barely visible 4 pack at top, wrinkly and dimply, but still there...barely...

September Final food - I did really good keeping to the poverty days the last couple weeks and the month as a whole. I did manage to lose a pound, and that's mostly about the food, but I kind of suspect there's a bit more loss in there unfortunately the timing with Lucifer's Waterfall means that it will likely be about 5…

I have the beginnings of a 6 pack...like much more clearly than before, though still all wrinkly and dimply so not exactly attractive...but I'm getting a little less loose in the cage!!!! So nice when the muscles come through...and super happy that I took a recovery week and didn't push it when my joints were being…
-
lots of walking today...maybe some stretching tonight after shopping...food on target...all in all a nice smooth recovery week so far...looking forward to changing things up too...as much as I love the progress in hitting it hard, the 90 day programs get soooo dull toward the end...super stoked about new things for…
-
The whole week was awesome-ish my left elbow is tweaky and has been for a couple days today my right knee started feeling all tweaky I've been mostly poverty (well, per my version) for a while, and I'm coming to the end of my 90day program...I had planned to charge right into the booty stuff for october, but with my body…

Monday was awesome...food, check...exercise, check...no drinking, check More days like this will get me to the most amazing pop step I can possibly become
-
Sunday was good in a lots of shopping got done...homecoming covered...cosplay covered...cute clothes for the girl covered...no working out except some mild yoga and off an on nausea all day...don't know if that's because of the pushing it too hard yesterday, or the upcoming time of month, or eating unusual foods like beer…
-
Saturday was mediocre...probably maintenance...did back/bis but it was such a struggle and I wasn't able to lift as heavily as usual...I did still rock it as best I could and kept starting with the heavier weights even if I couldn't do all the reps, so I'm proud of myself that I didn't give up and I didn't stop pushing for…
-
Friday was POVERTY protein at 98, so not quite making the 3 digit goal, but close did both the plyo workouts, which is a hard day, but I did it...can't say I super rocked it, I had to modify some because I was simply wasted and it was that or quit, but at least I didn't quit...that's something... also, made a marble cake…
-
September Week 2 (ish) food - 2 days maintenance but also 2 days I didn't track because I was out and about and eating food that I couldn't easily track - I could have been more diligent and found something close, so really it's on me for not putting the effort into tracking like I really should - this is a mediocre…
-
Thursday was POVERTY protein at 118 did all my workouts and actually racked the frak out of them even though it was hugely hard and a struggle bus kind of day work was super annoying with some ashhat trying to offload their problem onto me...normally I'm pretty happy to help, but you aren't my boss and don't just try to…
-
Wednesday was POVERTY finally, on target for protein too, 101, so just barely squeaking into 3 digits also, did a makeup workout this morning before work, plus my regularly scheduled 2 workouts, plus walked 5 miles, plus did some gardening...oh, and spent a solid hour with my adult toys, so that has to have burned some…
-
Tuesday was maintenance, and I think I'm going to aim for poverty calories the whole rest of the month...that would improve the weight loss, plus I can fit it into social events if I plan and work it out, and really, I'm starting to see slimming in the belly and I'd like to keep that momentum going strong.
-
oh my so inconsistent Friday was good, on plan, even at the drive-in, missed 1 workout Saturday was good, festival thing with dad, so drank lots of beer, but not much eating - missed 1 workout Sunday was hmmm, not much eating, a bit hung over, but lots of walking and hanging out with a friend, so much sweating, and no…
-
Thursday was solid, did the workouts, plus abs, and stuck to the food plan, not even too much of a struggle...did struggle on the back exercises since I was still super sore, so that had to be scaled back a bit, and I'm doing negative pull-ups because band won't be in until today, but it's better than nothing...makes me…
-
Wednesday was good...did both the cardio routines plus the dynamic stretching...opted to have a few drinks in lieu of doing the hour long stretching...it's whiskey wednesday, I have no regrets...
-
September Week 1 food - 6 days poverty and 1 days maintenance - WIN exercise - all done, every one, including abs and stretching - WIN alcohol - reduce, but not gone, did have some wine over the weekend, and a few "medicinal" shots of whiskey over lucifer's waterfall last week, but man, alcohol is a great muscle relaxer…

The fast weight loss at the beginning is frequently a lot of water loss, not fat metabolism. You can metabolize a maximum of around 1% body fat per week, so the amount you can lose depends on how much body fat you currently have and your weight - based on what little information you have provided, you aren't obese and…
-
Monday - didn't workout, did lots of fence painting and yard work and gardening and such, plus the travel home...poverty calories without any problem which was nice Tuesday - did all the workouts for Monday, mostly, had a pull-up band snap mid-way through Incinerator and it popped me in the thigh (which is plenty cushy)…
-
Sunday - painted the fence and sprayed the weeds/grass...also did my eccentric lower for p90x but skipped the 90 min yoga...was going to do Rodney Yee instead but didn't have that disk here and really just didn't push it...I did some extra stretching at the end of the EL workout...also didn't log well and FatSecret isn't…
-
Another day of poverty calories, all the workouts, and no drinking, huzzah!!!
-
Saturday was hard, but great. Woke with a headache, probably sinus, then worked on staining the fence after the headache went away...but the smell of the stain gave me a headache which it always does...oy vey...then gobbled down lunch and watched an episode of Shadow & Bone, then did my weight workout, which I was totally…
-
Friday was great - I need to put days because "yesterday" is starting to blur together... both plyo workouts done, which was SO HARD and I had zero energy, but I powered through and even started getting some perky energy half way through the hour long one...so tired physically after all that food was on point, though I did…
-
September Goals!!! food - 5 days poverty and 2 days maintenance per week exercise - month 3 p90x/3 - do all the workouts (including abs which I have a tendency to skip) alcohol - reduce, it's just adding calories with no nutritive benefits, replace with protein shake or some other form of extra protein
-
yesterday was great, poverty calories, all workouts done, 2 shots of whiskey to calm me (and the lucifer's waterfall cramps) down after travel to the beach house, but no insane munching or extra drinking...I'd like to cut the alcohol almost completely out for the month, but all in all the day was a win!!!
