One Month and I Feel Great!!
One month is done, two months to go. 12 total workouts with Rob and a month of healthier eating with Christy.
Here is what I have learned so far: The workouts are a lot easier for me than the eating. I show up to my training with Rob, do what he says and an hour later I’m sweating, fatigued and done. But the food part is everyday, all day. Christy can’t force feed me and watch every move I make like Rob can for the most part. So much of eating is instinctual. I’m hungry, I eat. But what I put in my body is the rub. So over the course of the month Christy and I have made foods at home on Sunday that will last all week. Go to my food blog on Christy’s website to see what those foods are. Keeping prepared food in the house keeps me away from going out to get unhealthy meals or bingeing. When we do go out together we share one dish instead of ordering two ( I can’t tell you how much that has helped with overeating). And the big thing is saving money! We all know organic food can be expensive at times but this way helps with saving.
On to the workouts! First off, what do you think of the shaved chest? Hair or no hair, that is the question. Personally, I like my hairy chest but not when it gets so long I look like a wookie from Star Wars. This is my vein side talking. After all, I’m doing the Sky Fit challenge for many reason but on a shallow level I want to look good with my shirt off so a little landscaping is needed. Workouts Jeff! Talk workouts.
Rob and I trained on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this past week and I have to say that formula is feeling like it works the best. To sum up what we do on those days is strength training and plyometric work (including those dam stairs) and on Tues and Thurs I do cardio (run, swim, bike). I feel like a good rhythm to the week is forming and I think that can stick for a long time. Cause that’s my long term goal. Use Sky Fit as a launching point for the rest of my life. Strength training and cardio throughout the week set to a great schedule that isn’t to much but keeps me in shape.
But we are not just doing this workout for me. Were also doing this for you folks out there. We all have different schedules and for some of you my schedule doesn’t work. Maybe you get to work to early or the best time for you is in the afternoon or evenings. What does that do to the body different from morning workouts? How does your eating change? In a few weeks Rob, Christy and I will try that out and blog to you lovely readers about what I learn. But first another obstacle.
In the next few weeks I’m going out of town for work and pleasure and were going to really focus on what needs to happen during those times to keep me on the path. What do you tell your parents when your with them? Family has a tendency to make you fall back into bad habits. What do you do when you’re at a hotel and only eating out? What if there is no gym around? I will have to face all these challenges but Rob and Christy are up for it! After all, it’s what they do.
Week 5 on the other hand will stay right here in sunny LA, sticking to the same formula. My weigh in with Rob is Monday morning and I expect to be in the low 190’s. If that’s the case it’s been a long time since I weighed that much.
Also, remember this is a blog so if you have an questions or comments feel free to write back to me. I’m very interested in what you have to say! Thanks all.
