Week 5 & 6

Well, over the last week and a half I'm down 3 more pounds. Although I'm inching along I feel stronger and more confident. One addition to my workouts with Jesse have been several appointments with the Harbor Weight Loss Institute Life coach. I'll go into a bit more depth in my future posts but I can say that the appointments have been very helpful as I think through why I'm trying to lose weight and strategies to help me combat my urges to eat food that not great for me.

Back to the gym....

Here is a summary of the last several workouts with Jesse.

Monday, July 5th:
After the weekend I was really focused on having a strong first day of the week. Jesse really let me have it about my eating over the weekend. I really need to focus on eating the right stuff in order to achieve my goals. An important point that Jesse made was to be sure to include family and friends into your eating. Letting them know that you can’t eat certain things is really key to being successful.

Mondays Workout:
-warm-up
Arms:
-1 minute on the treadmill walking on a 15 incline @ 3.5 pace
dumbbell hammercurls 8 lbs

Wedesdays Workout:
-warm-up
Balance and Conditioning:
-I started with one activity of balancing on a Bosu ball while throwing a medicine ball at the
wall and catching it.
-A 1 minute plank and a set of 30 push-ups and 30 sit-ups
-The next activity had me standing on a Bosu ball (one on each foot). Jesse started with a 10
lb medicine ball and bounced or threw the ball at me. I had to catch it and maintain my
balance. This activity was 15 reps per round. Each round was followed by an increase in
weight on the medicine ball.

Hard work but it feels Good!!
