Stripped Diet Day 10

I'm starting to feel great, no more bloating so I feel my body is getting used to this Stripped Diet. It calls for no bread or dairy and I had 1 small low carb wrap and a handful of popcorn with a smidgen of cheesecake.

Friday stats will tell.

This is great improvement for me, but this week is going to be even better as the temptations of sweets are going away. I want to thank Carolyn for reminding me no fruit after noon, which is after work for me.

I stuck as close as I could to the meals last night and today, but since I did not have brussel sprouts I subbed in broccoli for dinner yum.

This morning I finished week 3 of JM Ripped and I am starting to feel like its RIPPED OFF right from P90X. There are many of the same moves and when I do week 4 I will lay it all out. Sorry JM but that's how I feel.

For those of you that want to try P90X but feel intimated or that they are too long, this is going to be the perfect workout for you. I will have my full review by the weekend.

Tonight Zumba, nuff said.
Guitar practice, zero this week (will bring to work tomorrow to have tuned)

JM Ripped Week 2 Stripped Day 4

DAY 4 Stripped - I have done well with no sugar and snacks but I have got to get over the bloating. So today I left out the avocado to see if that makes a difference. You always go through some change when you change your meals but bloating is one thing I don't care for.

Zumba Zin 32 last night was fun and HARD! Oh my that was a bunch of new moves and I don't really have the old ones down that great. But I sure worked up a sweat and I love many of the arm movements.

Green Monster:
1 c spinach
2 scoops cookies and cream whey
2 c water
1 full banana

Here is my workout today so far and will try to finish after work, Yoga class at 6.30pm. I am seeing MANY of the P90X moves in this workout, and decided to just do each week as a workout.

There are 4 weeks total to equal the 30 day series. Since I want to reveiw this, I am doing it this way. So far I give it an 8.

JM Ripped Week 1 Stripped Day 2

I started this RIPPED workout today and so far I really like it. If you like JM Shred you will like this style workout, and it goes fast.

I used a 5lb and 10lb db and could have used my 15lb for the dead lifts but I was too lazy to run down and get them. I found this week 1 pretty easy, so lets hope they progress to a sweat fest.

WARNING - The only move I did NOT care for was the front loaded move, where you put the db behind your neck and do a forward 1/2 bend. I think she feels it works legs (quads) and core but it was a strain on my back. Tuck your tummy in tight either way.

So if you have any back issues place the db further away from you neck and more toward your back. Meaning you will have to lower your arms/elbows down to get the weight on the top of your back.

Plus I would have rather used my kettlebell for the swings, and will next time.

Workout - JM Ripped Week 1 (3-2-1 workout style)
Time of workout = 20 min
Cals burned = 133

Arm windmills
Military march

I did not get the last core move in or cool down.

This is Day 2 of my Stripped and should do better the next few days as I still have not got this to the exact meals so far. Today no sugar at all, and my whey has 1 gram = 2 gram for the 2 scoops I had today and yesterday.

Since this is a no sugar it also includes NO sugar substitutes so bye bye sugar free pudding *sigh
