Body-for-BLAH
This is my first day on Body-for-LIFE - it is hard. The program is essentially a diet of six meals (a portion of protein, a portion of carbs, and for at least two meals, a portion of vegs) and exercise alternating between aerobics and weight training. I’m putting my money on this program because I tried it out two years ago - for a month, stopped, lost 5-6kg’s, received dividends for more than a year after. This time I intend on making it permanent for that reason.
But the exercises are harder than it seemed - I guess I hit the fitness nadir some time in the past two years. Though I have my daily walks, the 20-minute aerobic workout (walking/brisk jogging) was a killer this morning. I struggle to reach my planned peak points throughout the 20-minutes.
The diet is another matter - it advertises itself as the eat-more diet, but when you are used to eating 6 full meals a day, 6 B4L meals seems rather small. I’m personally waiting for 12:30 where it would be 2 hours before my last. I can’t wait to eat…
I’m pathetic.
But I can imagine myself living like this. It isn’t that hard. I mean, it’s not like I’m eating grapefruits and apples only for 12 weeks. And it’s only 6 days of exercise and diet with one day of rest every week - yeepie! And this time, unlike all my other attempts, I actually planned it out. So I’m more optimistic.
Oh, this morning, besides studying half a chapter of History (4 parts, all divided into 8 chapters, you pick any two chapters you like that follows the same theme - I’m picking Economics and I haven’t decided on the second theme), I made mozzarella! From skim milk!
