Jeremy's Fitness Revolution

The Weekend

I made it thorough my first weekend on the program unscathed. This is more of an accomplishment than it sounds like being that I went out of town for the weekend.

Starting Friday afternoon, after a rigorous upper body workout I headed with my wife and kid north to Wisconsin where we stayed in a gorgeous retreat -www.micasasucasaretreat.com. Friday night, thanks to my forward thinking wife, we grilled food that we packed from home. A delicious supper of grilled salmon, baked potato and fresh salad made it easy to watch our calories and still feel like we were on vacation.

Saturday was our off day – the Strength Fitness program that we are following gives you one “free day” per week. On this day you can eat whatever, whenever without guilt. Just eat it and worry about the calories again tomorrow. And we did – a big traditional breakfast with eggs, sausage, etc. We snacked on Wisconsin cheese throughout the day and went out for dinner. I had a prime rib dinner (and felt absolutly no guilt).

Sunday it was back on the program. It was easy to fall to right back into step after the first “free day”. I think it really helped to have one day to take care of any cravings that were starting to crop up.

Down 4 pounds

On Monday, I had to go back to Strength Fitness for another lower body workout – the workouts are very intense but so brief you can see the light at the end of the tunnel from the very start. While I was there I stepped on the scale and after one week I am off to a good start, I lost 4 pounds. Not bad for 90 minutes of working out and eating relatively well during the week. Now lets see if I can keep up the pace.
