My plan is to train like Linda did, six days a week.

I’ll weight train for my lower body every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 45 minutes to one hour.

I’ll weight train for my upper body every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for 45 minutes to one hour.

I’ll do two hours of aerobic work every Monday through Saturday.  In order to mix things up, I’ll make this a cumulative daily amount rather than try to hold myself to two one-hour sessions each day.  Trying to fit in such long sessions with my other commitments throughout the day would be an unrealistic expectation.

Another good day.

Out of a list of seven things to do, I managed to get four done.

I did not drink a gallon of water.  I drank only three quarts again.

I did not manage to get any exercise in.  I have a feeling that will be the most difficult part for me.  Once the kids and husband are awake, chaos ensues.

What I did do is lose another pound, bringing me down to 212.

I lost another inch, this one around the waist.

And I lost 1% bodyfat, bringing me to 41%.

I’m only two days into it, but I can say that carbohydrate manipulation without counting calories or restricting fat is really working.  (Heck, if I could keep up the one-pound loss every day, I could hit my goal weight well before my eight week mark.)

Today is my first low carbohydrate day.  Doing the protein and carb calculations was a bit tricky last night but I finally managed to work it all out.  Planning to have a hamburger for lunch really threw a monkey wrench into the day.  The page in my journal for today’s food has a whole lot of scribbles on it.  I’ll be lucky if I can read it!

I’ll keep you posted.
