90 Day Fitness Challenge Update #2: Feel the Pain.

I can barely sit down.

End of week two. Since starting, I’ve had 2 Pilates sessions, 3 Personal Training, 5 cardio sessions, in total.

And one sore butt.

I’m thrilled beyond belief. The pain means I’m getting stronger. One step closer to better health. One step closer to better bikini shape.(What? You think it’s just about better health? Seriously?)

So I worked out with Erin from Modern Pilates on Monday. It was awesome experience, and due to a snafu I couldn’t work out with Robin on Wednesday, but it did gave me the chance to work out with Kyle, one of the personal trainers from Bodyscapes Fitness.

My workouts with Erin and Kyle really show how different trainers can be. Erin to Robin and Kyle to Laura (my usual personal trainer on Friday) all their styles are each different and unique. One thing IS constant, and that is the emphasis on form. All four is stress good form whether it’s on the reformer (a standard pilates equipement) or doing sit-ups on an exercise ball.

As far as eating, I’m the Clean Detox diet chica- but I’ve had to take a step back from being 100%. I’ve had to take some super hard-core antibiotics for my rosacea. As a result it’s pretty much killed off my gut bugs, a corner-stone for good health. I have to stop taking the antibiotics, and take probiotics to grow the good bugs back. But stuff happens. I’m watching the amount I eat, but I’ve included some previously verboten wheat, caffeine, sugar, soy and sweeteners in my meals. Now that I type this I can say, honestly and bluntly, I’ve taken some advantage of the situation. Tonight I had a half an almond butter and strawberry jam sandwich and some ice tea. Not what I want, and not the best for me. Wheat, caffeine and sugar. Oh my!

My plan is to stop the antibiotics tomorrow, so I’ll be back on the Clean again: mostly smoothies for breakfast and dinner, lunch of salad or brown-rice wraps with grilled chicken, and small snacks of almonds. I say mostly as I’m headed into a major US holiday weekend, full of BBQ’s and I can’t control everything that is being served. Just try you best, and when all else fails, portion control it baby.

So it’s the end of week two, now for the measuremnets… let’s see if there’s been any progress, shall we?

So as of  5/28/10  :

• Bust: 37.25 inches (-.75 inch)
• Waist: 31.5 inches (- 1.5 inches)
• Hips: 42inches  (-1.00 inch)
• Upper arm: 11.5 inches (-0.50 inch)
• Upper thigh: 23.25 inches (-2.75 inches)

Total inches lost: 6.5″

Sweet! Perhaps my big butt days are numbered…
