I have something new for you today, my first video post! It’s my first time doing this and it isn’t perfect but I could be at this all week trying to get perfection, and I’m already tired of it (LOL). I’ve also included some notes following my video post for a few more details.

My video is an update on last Monday’s post about the fact that you’ve got to choose different actions in your life if your current actions aren’t giving you the results that you want.

In that post I shared that I had a major mindset shift last week and I got into a successful, weight loss mindset and since then, I’ve made some progress…

Follow Up

Here are some stats and more details about what I did last week to achieve my weight loss success along with more info on the programs I talked about in my video.

Stats since 6/16/08

• -4.5 pounds, current weight 150.5
• -.125 inches, current inches 284.25

Exercise

• 7, 30-minute cardio sessions in my THR zone (wore my heart rate monitor). Note: I realized today after checking my 6WBMO black book (comes with your kit) that I worked out too much! The 6WBMO recommends at most 5 cardio sessions per week. You really do eat more and work out less with this program. Perhaps I would have lost more weight if I’d stuck to my normal routine of just 5 cardios a week.
• 2, strength training sessions, one upper body, one lower body
• 50 crunches a day, 6 days (this is something I do on my own, it’s not a part of the 6WBMO which gives you other ab exercises to do with your body sculpting/strength training routines).

Food

A main dish that I ate of lot of last week was Chicken Ghallaba, which is one of my favorites. If you follow me on Twitter you might remember me tweeting about the times that I’ve made it.

6WBMO

I talked about the 6-Week Body Makeover plan in my video, the lifestyle plan that I often blog about here at The Fit Shack. You can see if it’s available in the eMiniMall below or find it here.
