FIRST DAY OF THE CHALLENGE

THE FIRST STEP IN ANY PROCESS IS ALWAYS THE HARDEST, BUT WITHOUT THAT FIRST STEP THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT TO THE END AND REACH OUR GOALS!!

SO THIS MORNING I GOT UP AFTER A DECENT NIGHT SLEEP. WATCHING THE COLLEGE PLAYOFF GAMES HELPED ME RELAX.

 

I PREMADE MY SPARK AND MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKE THE NIGHT BEFORE SO THAT ALL I HAD TO DO WAS OPEN THE FRIDGE AND GRAB IT.  I TRIED SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH MY SPARK THIS TIME, I PREMIXED IT WITH MY CHOCOLATE MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKE, OH YEA!! CHOCOLATE AND FRUIT PUNCH ACTUALLT TASTE REALLY GOOD...

AFTER DRINKING THAT LOVELY COMBONATION I MIXED MY FIBER DRINK (CITRUS) INTO MY SHAKER. THIS IS ALWAYS THE HARDEST PART FOR PEOPLE BUT IF YOU USE SOME CRUSHED ICE AND COLD WATER IT ACTUALLT GOES DOWN REALLY EASY...

AND THERE YOU GO, THAT IS THE MORNING OF THE FIRST DAY OF OUR CHALLENGE! 

LATER MY SNACK WILL BE A SMALL PIECE OF CHEESE AND LUNCH WILL CONSIST OF A CHICKEN LEG QUARTER AND A SEVING A FRESH VEGGIES..

AFTER THAT AND LATER ON I WILL HAVE MY SECOND SPARK TO KEEP ME GOING AS WELL AS GET IN A QUICK KETTLEBELL WORKOUT(YOU DONT HAVE TO WORKOUT AT ALL ON THE CHALLENGE BUT I DO RECOMMEND INCREASING YOUR EXERCISE JUST A TAD). WORKOUT WILL BE A TABATA STYLE KB WORKOUT:

30 SEC WORK 10 REST FOR 6 EXERCISES:
HAND TO HAND SWINGS
LEFT ARM CLEAN AND PRESS
RIGHT ARM CLEAN AND PRESS
2 HAND HIGH PULL
SUMO SQUAT
RUSSIAN TWISTS (ABS)

REPEAT THIS TABATA FOR 3 ROUNDS, GIVES NEARLY A 14 MINUTE KETTLEBELL WORKOUT THAT REALLY FIRES UP THE METABOLISM...

 

MY SECOND SNACK IS JUST A FEW NUTS AND DINNER WILL BE THE SAME AS LUNCH,  CHICKEN LEG QUARTER AND VEGGIES SINCE IT IS ALREADY PRECOOKED..

THIRD SNACK OF THE DAY WILL BE A SMALL PROTEIN SHAKE KEEPING THE CARBS LOW. I WILL AT THIS TIME TAKE MY HEBAL CLEANSE PACKET AND TRY AND GET SOME GOOD REST. THAT WILL BE DIFFICULT DUE TO I AM ON THE AMBULANCE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT!!

OK WE HAVE TAKEN THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS OUR GOAL TOGETHER, SEE IT WASNT THAT HARD. LETS KEEP IT GOING AND CONTINUE TO BUILD A CHAMPION..UNTIL TOMORROW STAY SAFE
