  • Tameka’s Challenge- Day 8

    2012 - 05.07

    Ok…. I failed. But I will say this, even though I did not complete the challenge as laid out in the guidelines I posted I did keep the meals laid out for 4 straight days then incorporated my cheats. One thing I did gain from this challenge was that it got me back into the habit of wanting to eat healthy again, taking vitamins, drinking TONS of water and staying away (mostly) from carbs such as pasta, bread and rice.

    I did incorporate a cheat day on Sunday so that I could stay in the game for the long run and not completely give up. The last time I weighed myself, I was down 4 lbs. While I don’t think 4 lbs is a massive change, I will say that I see the results visually! Here is a quick preview:

    Day 3 Update

    2012 - 05.02

    OK- This diet is a little harder than I expected. Day two  and three have been brutal and I am starting to crave EVERYTHING! I will need to post a disclaimer for anyone trying this challenge: it is definitely note for the faint of heart. You better be dedicated! Here is yesterday mornings’ workout. I was too tired to go this morning but I am gonna go for a run this afternoon. Day 3 is almost done!

    Warmup: Ran 0 .75 Mile and then stretched (I had no energy to run any longer)

    20 situps, 20 oblique crunches on each side, 20 leg planks, 20 situps- 100 situps/crunches

    Tricep Dips- 3 sets of 20, 20 lunges between each set. This comes out to: 60 Tricep Dips, 60 Lunges!

    3 sets: 20 Bicep Curls, 20 lunges

    Oblique Seat- 3 sets of 20, 20 lunges between each set.

    Leg Press: 3 sets of 20

    Tamekas Challenge- Day 1 Workout 1

    2012 - 04.30

    I woke up around 6 am and went straight to the gym:

    Warmup: Ran 1 Mile and then stretched

    20 situps, 20 oblique crunches on each side, 20 leg planks

    3 sets: 20 Bicep Curls, 20 lunges

    Oblique Seat- 3 sets of 20

    Tricep Dips- 3 sets of 20

    Leg Press: 3 sets of 20

    Breakfast after my workout was 6 scrambled egg whites seasoned with pepper only. I felt like this was a lot of food to eat but I made sure and ate it ll with a glass of water.

    Prep day

    2012 - 04.29

    Today was grocery shopping day and prep day! I got all the necessary ingredients for the first week. I find it easiest to dedicate some time to prepare all my lunches, dinners and snacks at once so I don’t get tempted to cheat. I’m going 30 days straight baby!! Wish me luck :)
