Tweaks

So I am a month into the Summer Challenge. I have mixed feelings about my results so far. I haven't had the stellar results I was hoping for, in fact my body fat % , measurements and weight has zigged zagged in a way I didn't know was possible. Granted I was sick for 2 weeks, but in denial of that fact for the first week. I was pushing through very intense workouts when my body was screaming for rest. I finally listened and rested last week. That was the best results I have had since I started the challenge, go figure! This week I have eased myself back into my routine with the focus on cardio. I will bump up the workouts starting tomorrow.

I have also done a lot of soul searching and from what I have read in the Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle book, I really think I need to make some further tweaks on my nutrition program. I reworked my calculations. I plan to cycle calories but maintain a 40/40/20 split of carbs/protein/fats. I purchased a Nook Color, so I can have all my ecookbooks in a smaller , easier to use in the kitchen format. I am pleased with the strides I have made in meal planning. 

I also want to tweak my workouts. I want to get more bike rides and/or walking into my routine. I am switching from the Classic to the Lean program of P90X for Phase 2. I am going to finish this rotation of TurboFire , then I may throw in some Insanity for additional cardio plus whatever else I have in my extensive library for fun. I am determined to burn off this excess body fat!!
