80 Day Obsession – Day 27

Today was the first day of Phase 2!

In Phase 1 I lost almost 5 pounds, and my partner did lose 5 pounds! Measurements, stats and pics are all below. I do almost wish we had ended Phase 1 about five days ago. All of the stress from my client and lack of sleep has taken a toll. Autumn always talks about how stress and lack of sleep cause our body to bloat and hold on to fat. I was actually down about 6 or 7 pounds the previous week. But that is ok. I am still doing great with this workout!

It literally felt like I was doing an entirely new workout. The moves were more complex, my body was just as dumbfounded as the first day of phase 1. Let’s talk about progress. I am certain that I would have struggled to do this workout at all if I had tried it 4 weeks ago! The amount of strength I’ve gained in 4 weeks of 80 Day Obsession prepared me to be able to do this workout.

Phase 2 is no joke! My body was completely sore and I was exhausted at the end of this one.

Part of starting a new phase is taking your before and after pictures, weight and measurements. All of ours can be found in the pictures.

Our food calculations put us in the same meal plan for Phase 2, so our meals will look very similar to phase 1.

An added complication, I started a project for a new client this week. This project requires me to be at their office regularly, so I’m basically keeping fulltime work hours right now. At the same time I am also running a business, so it just throws a bit of a wrench into getting my workout in. But hey that’s life. What separates the people who finish from the people who “try” is follow through and making it work, even when life throws you curve balls.
