Post Green Smoothie Cleanse
Ladies and Gentlemen! It's been a little over a month since I finished the 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse. I vowed to do three things so I wanted to give an update on where I was with those three goals.1. I want to get down to 145 pounds.
I did not reach this goal and I blame not having a concrete plan. I got too relaxed with my diet so that threw me off track a little. Now I have a plan to help me reach this goal. My diet looks nothing like it did a few years ago. I've made improvements for the better, but there are still a few more things to tweak.![Scale Weight and fat percentage measurements](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJblOzirSsRMSOvDW3sqBG3TlkMXeTqMzUqTL_BqfztKnUpZEz_yus8rIK2GwM0YA6qbquhsvYXr3nrDxMuLkrgBgr2ZBDM9bBqolZZ9aznZyDro2htLhM-mfGXsrIr9v2zdRfcH4R2ys/s400/Weight+and+Fat+Percentage.jpg)
I'm not far from this goal. I'm actually happy with my weight. The issue is the small pudge in my stomach area. Getting my weight down between 145-150 eliminates the pudge. I just want that wiggle room.
2. Switch it up.

I haven't been as consistent with this schedule because it's been a busy year! It seems like I'll be out of town more weekends than I'll be in town, which always throws my weekly schedules way off too! I feel like I've lost some muscle because my body doesn't look like I think it used to look. This could be a mind thing, but I know what I want to look like. It's up to me to work towards reaching that goal.
3. Do one pull-up and one (REAL) push-up by the end of the year.
This might seem like a silly goal to you, but to me it's serious! I've never been able to understand why I can't do either of these. If I think about it, it actually makes sense. I'm heavy! Pushing my body weight up on my weak elbows is a task, just like pulling all this weight up over a bar is too! So I've practiced both with a little help!![Squat Rack One way I prep the squat rack to help me with pull ups](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6BCh5NY7VJZNm3xgqCU7OKMBqr1ndrCy-L4G8XmJYTpLTgKm2VYGQN_Aqj8mzYS2k0zxVWOkF4_VfPtnJE2pyrqp9H4BBpGGq9igxUzRSoy5lbd6WNIAEnYP-xvKdoO8ubmQ6eGBn8tM/s200/Squat+Rack+for+Pull+Ups.jpg)
Remember, I'm not a videographer yet, but here's proof that I've accomplished doing one real pull-up. I'm still working on that push-up!

There's always work to be done, even if it's just maintenance. I need to stick to my guns if I'm going to see the results I want. All I can do is take things one day at a time and use my time wisely. This is an extremely busy year, but how bad do I want these things?

Wats your eating plan?
ReplyDeleteI don't have an eating plan per se, I just watch what I eat. I eat minimal carbs; good proteins, greens, and fruits; minimal fried foods/junk foods/etc. My fiance is always body sculpting in one way or another so my diet usually matches his to a certain degree. I don't overdo it but I'm not really strict with it!
