Week 3- Keep Bringin' It!

We have made it past the first two weeks and have begun the 3rd week of Phase 1.  This will be the last week of these workouts and then onto recovery week and more muscle confusion.  Tonight was the third time I did Core Synergistics and shocked myself when I was able to keep up with the push ups (girl-style of course... I'm just not there yet with the regular style)  But for me, that was huge progress! I can now do the previously dreaded Dreya rolls without pushing myself up with my hands AND I am finishing every meal, and hungry for it when it is time to eat.  But the thing that made me feel the best tonight was after the workout when I tried to sit up from a laying down position without using my hands to get up and I could actually do it!  Now I know my stomach is getting stronger and my core tighter.  I have not seen dramatic weight loss on the scale, but I'm not discouraged yet.  My weight fluctuates from day to day, but I can say that I have not gained any weight.  I'm beginning to feel the difference in the way my clothes fit and I'm LOVING IT!   I'm anxious to take my measurements again after next week to see just how much I have lost.  I hope all of you are having positive experiences with this, as grueling as it is sometimes, and are remaining committed to finishing the program.  This week I will try post some more articles to help inspire and keep you motivated.  Whatever you do, don't stop bringing it!

  1. Yeah, this was the first time the Dreya rolls were part of my workout and I must say that I had to push myself up with my hands. I learned I had to do that after I fell on my butt trying not to use my hands. But, I did it. Recovery week is actually bringing workouts that I haven't done before, so I have to pay more attention and hit the "back" button every once in a while after seeing the exercise and thinking "huh"? But, it's a good week to see how the other workouts feel. Looking forward to moving onto phase II and getting closer to our goal. These have been a great three weeks. Thanks for getting us in on your adventure to better health and overall fitness.
