  4. I felt like I ate a lot today, eggs, bacon, potatoes for breakfast, 2 grass-fed beef patties with homemade tzatziki and a giant salad for lunch, steak, spinach, zucchini, and more potatoes for dinner and even a mini cupcake but for a “free day” I’m barely over 1500cal and my total sugar is at 57g – I feel stuffed and satisfied, absolutely not like I’m missing anything. I look forward to my structured CLEAN day tomorrow, which should actually be higher in calories than today. I only did one cardio and workout today, vs my usual AM/PM workouts. But, my body feels like it’s growing and leaning out. Down 7 pounds so far – full assessment on Sunday! Btw, the 3 ladies I’m doing this with are doing so awesome as well… I’m very excited for their successes 😀

  6. Day 4 completed.
    1 hour power walk – spent the time thinking and visualising my goals and reasons to be fit and healthy.. Loving the time that this generates for me.
    Weights: 5×10 times each of Bench press, Side raises, bent over rows, Bicep curls and Tricep extensions..
    Nutrition: 3 lean protein shakes..and 150flz of water (4.5 liters).
    Feeling a bit sore today, but its that great sore. I have to say the the program is helping clear my mind.. loving it.
    Hope that you all had a great 4th or Independence day as some of you prefer to call it 🙂 – don’t let that days celebration keep you off track today…

  7. It was tough getting started today. I didn’t get up till almost noon. I’m sore and felt drained even after 8 hour of sleep (not continuous).

    However, we press on.

    I was thrilled that today was a free nutrition day! I needed that.

    Workout:
    4 sets of the following 5 exercises with 2 min rest between sets:
    Bench press×10 @ 50 lbs barbell
    Side raise×10 @ 5 lbs dumbbells
    Bent over rows×10 @ 12.5 lbs dumbbells
    Bicep curls×10 @ 12.5 lbs dumbbells
    Tricep extension×10 @ 20 lbs dumbbell

    This was too easy. The final (5th) set:
    Bench press×10 @ 55 lbs barbell
    Side raise×10 @ 5 lbs dumbbells
    Bent over rows×10 @ 15 lbs dumbbells
    Bicep curls×10 @ 15 lbs dumbbells
    Tricep extension×10 @ 30 lbs dumbbell

    I thought doing half what the guys are doing would be good for me.

    2 lessons:
    1 – I cannot lift 100 lbs barbell yet.
    2 – I sould probably have done exactly what the guys did on all the other exercises.

    Good day. It’s ending better than it started. Goodnight!

    Because easy isn’t good enough…

    Second Workout:

    5 sets of the following 5 exercises with 2 min rest between sets:

    Bench press×10 @ 60 lbs barbell
    Side raise×10 @ 5 lbs dumbbells
    Bent over rows×10 @ 25 lbs dumbbells
    Bicep curls×10 @ 17.5 lbs dumbbells
    Tricep extension×10 @ 25 lbs dumbbell

    POST SCRIPT:

    I realized after I was done that I completely forgot to do Planks in both of my Day 4 workouts so I added 5 sets of:

    Plank×30 seconds
