oh yeah, the plan...

things have been good in these first few weeks of my challenge. this wednesday will mark the end of week two, so i'll probably be posting a comparative pic pretty soon. i'm down from 131 to about 129, so things are moving in the right direction. i never clearly laid out my plan before, so i guess now would be a good time to do that. for exercise, i'm doing 3 days of turbulence training a week. i chose the intermediate fat loss fusion for the first four weeks and will probably move from there to the advanced one. haven't decided which workout i'll do for month three, but i've got some time to decide. i'm also committed to at least two yoga classes a week and i'm back to teaching yoga as well, only about 1-4 classes a week right now, but i'm hoping to expand on that. also, as a bike commuter, i get a lot of extra cardio getting to where i need to go. anything else will be a bonus...there's always so much i want to do, but never enough time to fit it all in, which i believe was the impetus behind trying turbulence training in the first place :). as far as my diet, i'm trying much harder to be less neurotic this time around. and the amazing thing is that it's working...which only confirms my belief that i do actually know what i'm doing. in the last year i've learned enough about fat loss to not have to count calories, or use fit day, or weigh everything that i put in my mouth or even completely swear off my favorite foods. i'm just exercising more self control, keeping my indulgences under control, and eating whole foods the rest of the time. i'm also doing just one day of eat stop eat a week as well. more on why that seems to be the perfect amount of intermittent fasting for me another time. for now, suffice it to say that sticking with lots of fruits, veggies, lean protein, low fat dairy, whole grains, and going light on whole wheat is getting the desired results...just like they always say it will!
