Two down, one to go

Official blog weigh day today and another new low at 14 stone 2.6 (198.6 lbs, 90.3 kg), down two and a half pounds on last week. But I missed a meal yesterday since I didn’t get up till mid-afternoon (!) so I may rebound a bit tomorrow.

I am now eight and a half weeks into the twelve week Turbulence Training 5th Transformation Contest. Last night I did my final workout from the TT For Female Strength 2 programme. I have never finished a TT programme before, and now I have done two in a row! And only a few days late.

Sadly, it was not a great workout. I was really struggling and not coming near to my achievements previously. I felt really sick, too. As in, nauseous. But I did what I could then got on the treadmill. During my warm up I noticed my heart rate was elevated, and after my first interval I had to stop and sit down with my head between my legs until the room stopped spinning. End of workout. Not a great note to end on. But I feel much better today and am looking forward to getting started on programme 3 for the last three and a half weeks of the challenge. I am going with the one I originally planned to – the Fat Loss Fusion Intermediate that came with the original manual. Click here to download the original TT for Fat Loss manual.

I had to decide whether to go with Craig’s special eating plan for the workout, to get him lean. In the end, I decided not to. I have made it my guiding principal throughout this year that I would not do anything that I could not sustain. No extreme eating plans for short-term gain. This contest is not really about the contest for me. It is just a medium-term time frame to help motivate me. Thus, I will continue with my generally-eat-less-crap eating plan and just do the workouts.
