If you
would like to do the Les Mills 21-Day Challenge you can find instructions at http://aalthoff.blogspot.com/2013/03/les-mills-21-day-nutritional-challenge.html
For
those you don’t know, I attempted the program and on day eleven I got sick and had
to stop. Today is day FIVE!
This
second time around has been actually a little more difficult. I think I had my
mind set to complete this program in full, and I had the support of other
instructors doing it with me. There are others doing it with me (members of
Flow Studio), but I am not privy to their experiences all the time like with my
fellow instructors.
During
my time in between my first attempt and this attempt, I went back to eating all
of the bad things that I love and gained a few pounds in the process. It is
AMAZING how hard it is to lose and how easy it is to gain. After this program,
I do plan on going to the BodPod so that I can determine if any muscle was lost
during the process instead of fat. Maintaining my muscle tone is very important
to me not only for my health, but to maintain my bone density as I age.
Also,
I am having more of an issue with food preparation. It seems I am constantly
cooking something, so this coming Sunday I plan on making some advanced meals
for Monday and Tuesday. I had one day with a rather large mess up, but I got
right back on track the next day. Well, enough chatter…. Let’s get to the nitty
gritty details.
