Image
April 2023 I have a couple of trips plan in April.   Workouts this month include The FIRM BSS3 workouts, Jeanette Jenkins Bikini Bootcamp workouts, Essentrics Body Sculpting 1 and 2 workouts and I am going to bring back Simone's Cardio Dance workouts. I did these workouts back in February. I want to see how much I remember of the routines. Sunday treadmill workouts will be iFIT 5KUSA program. I will probably be doing this series for awhile as this particular program hits all 50 states. Happy April everyone.  

Wrapping up Round 13

Image
Round 13 Wrap Up Well Round 13 officially ends tomorrow. I am ending Round 13 with a 36 hour fast. I like sticking the 36 hour fast at the end of one round and the beginning of the next round. But today is the last day of March and like everyone else, I too feel as if this time has flown by.  My First 90 Days of 2023 went very well for me. My goal was to lose 20.8 pounds and I lost 17.8 pounds. I will absolutely take that.  Key Accomplishments . I made all scheduled workouts except for 3 and that was when I hurt my back.   I made all meditation sessions but two. I made all Controlled Stretch segments. Over the course of Round 13, I miss tracking food in Carb Manager three times Fasted at least 16 hours the majority of the time.  I am giving myself an A minus for Round 13. Round 13 (January 1 to April 1)

Round 13 Update

Image
Round 13 Update This week concludes block 2 of Round 13. I am my second recovery week. I did switch out the workouts in the last minute.  Replaced Michelle Dozois Bodyfit 360 workouts with Suzanne Barre Flat Belly Barre. Block 2 has not been smooth sailing.  At the start of week 2 (Monday) of the block, I hurt my low left back/hip area during the workout.  I did workout Tuesday but I took Wednesday and Thursday off.  Took about a week for the back to feel better. Fasting has been going well.  Although, I am fasting this week. For most days, I am fasting 16 to 18 hours.  My goal for February 2023 was to lose 4.8 pounds. I lost 3.8 pounds. I did meet all my scheduled stretches. Next week, I start block 3 of Round 13.   

Round 13 Update

Image
It's February and I am a third of the way through Round 13.  Saturday, ends Block 1 workout routines and I will be starting Block 2 on Sunday. I did make a few modifications to the workouts in Block 2. I have replaced Jari Love strength workouts with Kelly Coffey Meyer strength workouts. Fasting has been going well. I have consistently fasted for 16 to 18 hours each day of Block 1.  I will continue this fasting protocol in Block 2.  Where I have not done so great is keeping up with the nightly stretching. Mostly this was because I realized I did not schedule it properly and then I deliberately took recovery week off for stretching.  I will be resuming Autumn's Control stretching on Monday.
