Week 1 : Accountability

Week 1 is done!! Thank God, because it was sort of hell week for me. I always like to push extra hard in the first week of my workout schedules/cycles because it sets the tone and gets me psyched for the rest of the time. Jillian Michaels also has this 7-day metabolism boosting diet that you start her workout with and I decided I'd try it out (sort of). There are a lot of restrictions, so I didn't follow it exactly. No sweets, not even fruits (I did have maybe a fruit a day though)... No grains, and I was craving some qunioa the entire time!!! Very limited amounts of dairy (I had some yogurt though almost on a daily basis, but was alright to switch out my skim milk for almond milk to drink my protein with. Gonna stick to that cuz I actually liked it better anyway). There was a lot of salad. A lot of rabbit food. Plus fish and proteins. I honestly don't think I could or would like to drop grains from my diet. I workout a lot and I feel like I didn't have as much energy throughout the week as I usually do. That could just be because I was pushing hard, too, though. Not totally sure. 

My workouts went well. I did Jillian Michaels Body Revolution, as well as other supplemental workouts like running, elliptical, etc. And got in the gym for some group exercise when hubby's work schedule allowed for it. It was a good week discipline-wise. Worked out 6/7 days.
