I didn't post last week, but I did remember my weight. The decrease in fat percentage in early March turned out to be a bit illusory. I finally got fed up last week with little or no progress, so right now I'm on a diet.
I'd been doing some research into a few different exercise things, and I figured that by the time my shoulder had improved to the point where I can do some lifting that I could hit the ground running. So I, like Laurence, opted for P90x. DW was also looking for some type of additional exercise, and she liked the look of Power90. After poking around on the internet, I opted for an overkill approach. I signed up as a seller of these types of products, which allowed me to buy a "Showcase Pack". Included was Power90, P90x, 4 other exercise video series (Slim in 6, Yoga Booty Ballet, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Jam), 4 stretchy exercise bands, weighted gloves, a squishy ball, and some overpriced supplements. As I said, overkill, and it was a splurge at $350. But hey, I can earn money if people buy products via my link (doubt it'll happen, and if I cancel I get $40 refunded), so PM me if you're interested.
Anyhow, back to the diet. One of the items in the Power90 DVDs was a 6-day diet (Fat Burning Express). Roughly 1500 calories per day, I think, and an associated "bonus" DVD for a daily workout. Most days include a protein shake with fruit (today's was with strawberries), a morning snack (today's is cottage cheese and raspberries), a salad for lunch (usually with 4 oz of meat), an afternoon snack of 15-20 almonds, and dinner with 4 oz of various meat/seafood and a couple cups of cooked greeens (bok choy, swiss chard, brussels sprouts, etc). I'm on day 5 of the diet, and I'm hungry, but my energy level is still okay. Last night I probably overdid it: 36 minutes of the video, plus an hour TKD class that I taught, but completely participated in, leading them through a bunch of high intensity jumping kicks.
I think I'm probably still dehydrated, and I'm probably going to have a bit of an overeating rebound this weekend, so hopefully the 5 pounds I've dropped since Saturday won't come rushing right back.
