Day 21-22 - OMG 8 days to go

Hello all,

Wow 8 days to go on MAP, how is everyone going. I have been doing the elimination diet and not carb cycling or fasting but I have so much energy and going to keep on with elimination diet after but maybe a couple of treats. Really is the best food plan around.

Have been doing great with all the exercises and my form is so much better, I am also more stronger so the 3kg weights I started with are now 5 and 6kg. So much stronger in the 22 days, so really pleased with the results. The exercises are hard and Dax really does know how to push us, but thats what I signed up for and it feels good to work hard and the body really does adapt well to all the changes and challenges.

I have not lost any inches or weight this week, but I have not gained any weigh, due to the hot weather I normal put on weight due to water retention so no gain is good, also been drinking loads of water to stop the retention. So I am expecting a loss next week, fingers crossed.

Another change I have noticed is my skin is so much clearer, I also got a cold sore recently but it cleared up with in 3 to 4 days which is really good as in the past I could have cold sore for nearly and week or two.

Day 18 - 20 - Mojo is back it was hiding in the gym lol.

Hi ya all,

Mojo was hiding in the gym, got it back well and truly.

Food has not been as good, but just going to work on sticking to Elimination Diet each day, not sure about the fast with all the training. Low carbs do not really suit me, but I know how to portion control my carbs and I know I dont go over board, so that is good.

Today I have done my cardio, also done dumbbell matrix 3 rounds and power circuit, my order is all messed I am getting the workout session in. Body weights in the new set and for once I am struggling but getting the form better each time. Body weights is the new killer, which melt
down was and now I really like meltdown. So soon be saying the same about body weights too.

Today I had a lovely 30 minutes swim and I was very pleased as my speed is getting better and my form is really good on my front crawl. Must be all the training every day, cant believe I have trained every day for 20 days. I feel that I no longer need rest days as my body has adapted so well to the four session each day.

Day 17-Day18 - MAP - where has my mojo gone

Hi All,

Day 17 done and dusted, all exercises done and 30 day shred, could really feel the burn on all session.

Food was good, was carbs but not to high carbs did not go over bored.

Today is a really struggle still not done any exercise and I really dont want too, I dont know why I normal love doing all the exercises but today its the last thing I want to do.

I will do them later and if i can get to the gym quickly today for a run on treadmill, I wonder if my mojo is waiting at the gym for me.

Last time i had food was last night about 9ish and then today without thinking had a banana did not realise it was fast starting today, so will cut food down today and do the fast next time.

Dont really like fasting but will give it a shot next time, need to prepare myself properly and read up on the benefits.

Today is new exercises today and will report on them tomorrow.

Day 16 - listening to my body and I will not binge. :()

Still going well,

Exercise is fab, getting better and stronger,looking forward to the change again on Friday

Food not liking the food, going to go back on normal elimination diet, wave just does not suit me, I am so close to having a binge and I really dont want too. Need to find the happy medium and that is elimination diet for me.

I know we should be doing the wave but if it causes me to binge then its no worth it, really is not, I have been losing weight since January so I really have learnt what my body needs.

Day 15 - Half way there

Here are my new measurements

Starting weight 10. 10 - have not done weigh yet.
Bust 35.5 - 35 - so minus half inch
Under bust 31.5 - 31 - minus half a inch
Waist 31.5 - 31 minus half a inch
Hips 35.5 - 35. minus half a inch
Arm 10 - 10 - stayed the same
Top of leg 21 - 20.5 - minus half a inch
Calf 11.5 - 11 minus half a inch

6 inches in total counting both side, so total of 13.5 inches in two weeks.

All my training and hard work is paying off, really pleased.

Pyramid - I beat my time, whoop whoop

Hi ya all,

Just really quick message,

Just did the pyramid in 12. 53, my last time was 13.30 so well chuffed.

I spank my time every time and I love it. lol. Circuit training is defo my thing, I much prefer it to the gym and running. After I have done the 30 day MAP, I am going to find new circuit training I can do.

Also done today, 45 mins walk with hubby, 30 day shred level 2, going to do the meltdown in a bit.

If anyone knows of any good circuit training dvds i would really like to know about them.

Also measurements tomorrow cant wait. xx

Day 14 of MAP. - Its Sunday. Fathers Day

Food was really good yesterday and no probs with ED or the wave. Making sure dont pick to much on nuts and seeds. So having things like carrot sticks and celery instead.

Today is carb day, which is nice to have my porridge for breakfast, really do miss it, because its the one breakfast that really fills me up until lunch time. When I have eats normally have to have a snack about 11ish.

Today up a bit later, nice to have a lay in. So will be exercising later, yesterday I did my last workout at 9.30 just before bed and I slept like a log, lol.

Today work out are 30 day shred, POWER Circuit - Pyramid - Meltdown, so not a bad day at all. Fitting in the exercises every two hours or so is not a problem. I now have no soreness just bruised knees really need a floor map.

Hope everyone is doing well, have a good weekend.
