Week 2 (15 Weeks Out)

  No comments    
I started week 2 of this journey on Friday.  Week 1 was rough.  My coach ended up switching my diet up RIGHT after I posted about my delicious protein pancakes...  I went from a 2,200 calorie diet to an average of 1,300 calories within 24 hours.  I was cranky (still am at times), tired, HUNGRY and was constantly thinking about food and my next meal.  Well, the crankiness, fatigue and most of the hunger have subsided.  I'm still thinking about the foods I really want, like a HUGE spoonful of peanut butter, and still thinking about my next meal.  Hell, I'm thinking about my next meal before I finish the meal I'm currently eating!  I've also started 5 days a week of fasted cardio.  Which means I'm up before 5am getting my blood pumping and burning fat on an empty stomach.  But hey, I'm down 2 pounds!

Something else we did this week was take my body fat percentage.  I was shocked to find out that I'm at about 11.21% (she used old school metal bf calipers)!!  I had prepared myself for about 17%.  11.21%!!!!  I'll need to be lower once competition day gets here, but that's a great start for prep!

So anyway, here are this week's progress pics:
