Here's the story. Eating has been completely off the rails and it's time to get back on track. I am about 2lbs away from what I was when I was 9 months pregnant with Baby #2! With only 54 days to go until I leave for Disneyland, my goal is to be in a size 4 again by the end of July. The Disneyland Half-Marathon is on September 2 and I want to cross that finish line looking as foxy (albeit sweaty) as possible.
Enter the Turbo Fire Inferno Plan. This is a 5-day program geared toward giving your weight loss a kick-start. You eat a diet of 1200 calories per day and complete the prescribed workouts. I am hoping to blog my successes and failures and give an honest review of how my experience went.
Today was Day 1 and the workout was Fire 55EZ. It's one of my favorite TF workouts and I will tell you, there is nothing "EZ" about it. You will get your bum handed to you but it's fun enough to keep you interested for the full 55 minutes.
Here are my Day 1 measurements:
Weight: 142.6lbs
Bust: 37in.
Waist: 34.75in.
Hips: 35.75in.
Abductors: 33.5in.
Right Thigh: 17.75in.
Left Thigh: 17.75in.
Right Arm (unflexed): 9.5in.
Left Arm (unflexed): 9.75in.
I don't feel comfortable posting my bikini pics on the internet (yet) so you will just have to take my word for the measurements. I can assure you, it's not a pretty sight.
Most important is the nutrition portion of the plan.
****REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A 5-DAY PLAN. IT'S REALLY NOT A GOOD IDEA TO EAT SO FEW CALORIES FOR ANY LONGER THAN THAT****
That being said, here is my chow for Day 1:
Breakfast: Chocolate Shakeology with 3/4c of SKIM milk (I ran out or it would have been a full cup)
Snack #1: Kashi Mocha Almond Granola Bar (so yum, but to bump up calories I will add a cheesestring or a piece of fruit tomorrow)
Lunch: Two large (free run) eggs with 1.5 slices of fat free oven roasted chicken breast (PC Blue Menu), 15g of Kraft reduced-fat tex mex cheese and 1/8c of Pace Medium Salsa
Snack #2: Spartan Apple with 1tbsp of Kraft Natural Peanut Butter
Dinner: 4oz (cooked) boneless-skinless chicken breast. 1 zucchini broiled with 30g. of the above tex mex cheese, 3 grape tomatoes and herb d'provence (thanks Pinterest!)
Snack #3: Oikos fat-free greek yogurt in Cherry and a large mandarin orange.
Total Calories: 1083 of the recommended 1200.
Today's lesson learned is that I can add another piece of fruit or veggie (or both) in my day so I can be closer to the 1200 mark. Pre-planning and logging will solve this problem. Overall, I think I did very good today since I do tend to binge on junk food (of which there is NONE in this house right now...go me!)
