Well friends, I am just coming back from a short little 3-day weekend vacation. I will have much more on that tomorrow, but I must say it feels so good to have had that time away. We stayed active and even though I didn’t track my food, I managed to maintain my tiny bit of weight loss so far on the 12 Week Body Transformation program.

This week I knocked out every part of the 12WBT plan and then some. My lunch workout partner and I are still working out at lunch, which means an extra sweat session for me. I try not to go overboard though to prevent overtraining. For example, Monday I just walked on the treadmill, but I had the incline up to 10%. I wasn’t on the route to overtraining but I wasn’t working out for naught either. I’m still walking at lunch with my mom the other days at lunch too, actively combating sitting disease.

I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the recipes on the 12WBT. I’m definitely going to save these for the future and start incorporating more for variety. They’re mostly pretty clean and pretty darn easy. There have been only a few references to ingredients that I’ve never heard of, but it’s easy to make a few simple substitutions if the ingredients aren’t available. I’m still adding a few calories to the 1200 daily calories recommended to stay alive, and it’s still working. Only two more weeks left to go! The US Sneak Peek version is only available for 4 weeks right now on a trial run, so I just think it’s neat to be part of the very first US tester group. And I’m learning a whole lot about training others by watching Michelle train us;)

How did you work out this week?
