Week three went well. Unfortunately, since I was quite busy (preparing for and taking the LSAT being the biggest busy-ness), I only did four out of the six workouts. But in spite of this, I did really well. I'm able to last longer and do the intense exercises longer (I should say intenser exercises since they're all crazy). Like I mentioned in my last post, my legs are also getting much more defined. I also don't get sore anymore. It's weird because the workouts are so intense I think the whole time of how sore I'm going to be. Nope. Not at this point.
So now I begin the last week of month one. Next week I have a recovery week. Then I go into the crazy, huge results, push your limits to the max month.
Also, even though I'm not officially off sugar right now, I've pretty much only had sugar on the weekends for the past two weeks. It's seemed to pay off too. I'm more energetic and am able to eat in moderation. As I mentioned before, I think one's body is better able to eat moderately when you regularly exercise. I also feel like my brain regulates my hunger better. When I wasn't working out regularly, I seemed to be hungrier than I am now, even though I was burning a lot less calories. Ironic, ha?
I'm also proud of how well I've been doing sleep schedule-wise. Before I would get up at different times, just according to the day's circumstances. Now, I get up everyday at the same time. I've also started to eat breakfast first thing in the morning EVERY DAY. That's really helped my overall mental, emotional, and physical health. It's surprising how much sleep and breakfast make a difference.
That's cool that you're learning to eat sugar in moderation. Exercise definitely helps you eat better and it also helps you know better how much you should really be eating. When I do intense workouts every day, some days I need a lot of food and other days I need very little.
