I decided to begin a new training program today.
I have been enjoying insanity and muscle but really don't feel that I am getting the fat loss I want.
Given that following RTP for 100% did give me what I needed and likely the best fat loss results following a distinct program just makes sense.
So today I begin Leigh Peeles 90 day OPT/remix.
Its a fairly extreme program but I think extreme is called for.
In one of the chapters she suggests this may be the last " fat loss" program needed. I like the sound of that so if 90 days of extreme gets me there I will be very happy.
I will resume using Insanity and muscle/turbo as mixed maintenance training once I am done.
I certainly have been maintaining so that presents no problem.
I suspect to blast the final 10 or so lbs does require a more extreme approach or a ton of patience and time.
I would really like to finish the year out by reaching my goal weight. Plus its time.
The other side is that I am intending on joining Dana in Thailand in just over 6 weeks there is no time like the present to get some of this remaining BF off. Although I will only be 1/2 way through and leigh does not suggest taking a break well, we just won't tell Leigh.
Eating well in Thailand is likely not a problem but I do no see drinks on the menu so well............
This program is designed in such a way as you eat certain types of food to correspond with your training.
There is no way to tweak it and that is a good thing, at least for me.
Plus the timing is great for some major discipline.
I have struggled this last week and know that it is the haze of depression.
As the days get shorter my body reacts. I am using my SAD lamp but that alone is not sufficient.
My sugar cravings have increased and I have indulged them on occasion. This is not a good thing.
Sugar is my biggest enemy I suspect. Its not the calories but the affect it has on my brain and body.
Interesting this nutrition plan only allows for starchy carbs on reload days so that should help with this sugar business. I think that complex carbs start me down that road.
90 days takes me to Jan 1 so again a great time line. I will just do my best through my vacation and keep on going. I think stopping becomes just that, stopping.
Plus the point of the vacation is to see a different country and spend an amazing time with Dana. Its not about eating. The first days of the vacation will be difficult but I imagine there is a gym at the resort so no reason to not do a quick workout when we are there.
I am off to plan the rest of the nutrition and drop off an offer.
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians.
