I have been slacking this week. This week has been extremely stressful and busy with school, homework, tests, and workouts.


This week we have done:
-bench presses
-Circuit training
-Bicycle circuit
- Jacobs Ladder
- Lunges
- Arm pulls
- Ti Bow
- Bear crawls

Day 6

Since today is Saturday, we had the option to either work out on our owns, or go to the gym with the trainer. I decided to do my own workout today. I walked/jogged up to the temple. Did lunges around the temple, leg stretches, arm stretches, then I walked around the campus and continued to do lunges, leg lifts, etc. I finished my workout by stretching at my apartment. My knees are incredibly sore and I'm hoping that a day off tomorrow will be good for them. I have made it through almost a week of this program, and I already can tell a difference in the way that I feel. I am excited to see what is ahead of me!
 Hope everyone continues to have a good weekend!

Day 5

Last night was our first weigh in. I was a little discouraged because I didn't lose as much as I would be liked to but I'm excited to give this coming up week a go.


Workout consisted off:
- stretches
-row 500 meters
-Jacob's Ladder
- Squats with weights
- Arm pulls

Day 4

Tonight I feel great! But, my legs feel like jello.

Tonight's workout consisted of:
- lunges
- bear crawls
- crab walks
- mountain climbers
- planks
- bike cycles ( resistance 15, 20 second intervals)
- Leg stretches


Tomorrow will be my first weigh in which I am both excited for and nervous for. Wish me luck!

Day 3

Today was the third day of the program and the first day of the diet. Things are going great. Yes I am sore, but I am starting to feel more energized. Counting calories isn't too fun, but it is amazing to see how many calories are in some of the foods I like.


Today's Workout:

- Row 500 meters
- Rotation between:
           Leg Press
           Arm Pull
      & Push ups
- Stretches

Day 2

January 21st, 2014

Today I had the opportunity to meet with my Wellness Coach, Tate. We did a physical assessment to see which things I was doing good at and which things that I needed to work out.

Our physical assessment consisted of:
  - Hip & waist measurements
- Blood pressure
- Walking on treadmill while being hooked up to a heart monitor
- Jogging on the treadmill
- Bench Pressing. ( I was able to do 75 lbs. I definitely need to work on that, I didn't realize how hard it is)
- Curls ( I did 79 in one minute, at a rating of excellence. I was beyond excited, as was my coach).


Next came my workout with my team. We worked out for 1.5 hours. Today we worked on Cardio exercises.
- Row 2000 meters
- treadmill for 20 mins
- Hip & knee exercises with my trainer, Joseph, to correct any future problems
- Stretches


Every Tuesday night we will be meeting with our whole team to go over Wellness stuff. Tonight we talked about caloric intake. Tomorrow I will start my diet of 1400 calories. I am super stoked but I also know how not fun it will be to have to count the calories in everything that I eat. We also watched the video that is in my previous post, and I would recommend that everyone watch it. It is extremely inspirational and goes to show that if we put our mind to it and give it our all, that we can succeed!

Yes, I am sore and tired, but I know that it will get better in time.

This is an amazing video! We can do anything if we put our mind to it.
