The Shred Part Two-Day 1

I'm getting back on track. I did a whole lot of nothing this weekend-literally. We laid around the whole time with the exception of me working out, cooking/eating, and showering. And guess how that turned out? I gained weight. Holy shamoley that's disappointing.

Anyway, I did the Shred Level 1 and LCW strength. I was going to do the cardio as well but figured I'd take the dog for a walk.

Level 1 is much easier than Levels 2 and 3 and it felt like a nice 'break' even though I was working hard. Originally I was going to alternate what I was doing-Monday Shred, Tuesday LCW, Wednesday Shred, etc. But I think instead I might do Monday Level 1 + part of LCW, Tuesday Level 2 + part of LCW, Wednesday Level 3 + part LCW, etc. I need an extra boost.

Other changes I'm making: less avocado. As much as I have grown to love it (ha, nice pun-not originally intended) I think it's doing me more harm than good-at least at the rate I'm eating it. So, we have one left and that's that for the week. Also, this means less tortilla chips.

Today's menu?

Green tea with mixed berry
Fat free Greek yogurt with honey and granola

Banana

Leftover enchilada
Mixed fruit-pineapple, mandarin orange, apple, red pear, green grapes

Leftover enchilada
Avocado with tortilla chips
Mixed fruit-pineapple, mandarin orange, apple, red pear, green grapes, and banana

Yes, I ate the SAME thing for lunch and dinner with the exception of the avocado.

Now, it is Monday...

The Shred-Week Two Results

I'm incredibly disappointed. What am I doing wrong? I have done the Shred EVERY day. I'm not eating candy, desserts (with the exception of yesterday's cake balls), I'm eating more greens and fruits...Dang. This stings.

Even some of my measurements are up. Argh! But I am going to compare this week's measurements with week one. Because really, that would super suck to see NO progress.

Chest-

Week 1- 43"
Week 3- 42 1/4

Waist
Week 1- 41 1/2"
Week 3- 37"

Thighs-
Week 1- Right-30 1/2" Left-30 1/2"
Week 3- Right-29 3/4" Left-30"

Calves-
Week 1- Right- 18 1/4" Left- 18 1/4"
Week 3- Right 18 1/2" Left 18 1/2"
(well that stinks)

Biceps-
Week 1- Right- 14 1/2" Left- 14 1/4"
Week 3- Right- 14 1/2" Left- 14"
(so 1/4 transferred from the left to the right?)

All together- minus 6 1/4"

Okay, so there was progress from week two to week three. One more inch gone. And I think it was from the waist.

Maybe I'm not measuring correctly? Doing the same spots? Ergh...who knows?
Oh, and to top it all off...I'm up 1.2 lbs from week 2. Or, should my optimistic self say I'm down 1.4 from week one.

**Post Edit**
In what I can only say a bizarre turn of events...I just weighed myself, at 5:20 pm. I'm now back down .2 lbs from week two...for an overall loss of 2.8. How on earth did that happen?


I have no idea why it looks like I'm shrinking...the zoom???
