Muay Thai Challenge: Week Three

20140802-164425-60265628.jpg

I can’t believe my challenge is already half way over! Not to be premature, but I’m pretty sure I prefer Muay Thai training over lifting 😬 so it looks like the conclusion of these five weeks is only the beginning 🙂

Stats for the week:
Weight: 129lbs
Chest: 36″
Waist: 27″
Lower waist: 31.5″
Hips: 38″

Food:
This week was indeed a redemption week. My meals were clean, I ate plenty of vegetables and I even made time for some recipes! (see previous posts)

Right now I am working on a recipe for the perfect vegan, gluten free (and mostly sugar free) peanut butter cookies. I am so close it’s almost agonizing. Hopefully I will have an update before next week’s post 🙂

On to week four!!

Muay Thai Challenge: Week Two

Week two is officially complete! Strength and endurance-wise I can definitely feel the progress. Skill-wise, I have a long way to go, but I am definitely learning a lot of great techniques. I think my biggest weakness is keeping my head in the zone. Training sessions have a much faster pace than weight training and are obviously a lot more complex.

I feel like despite all the knees and kicks we do in class, I’m still getting more of an upper boys workout so I’ve decided to throw in a leg day on Fridays or Sundays just to keep my booty in check 🙂

As far as good goes, I was pretty good at keeping clean except for the ass-ton of cake I had for a co-worker’s birthday (oops). It was from Tous Les Jours in Korea Town and only those of you who know what that is will understand.

My roommate’s awesome boyfriend was in town this weekend too so add a few drinks to my list of “cheats” … Oh and pre-dinner white bread (perfect for someone gluten intolerant)… Okay fine- this week was not my finest.

To some of you this may seem crazy. The words “she’s insane, she doesn’t need to lose weight” might be going through your head. But for me, it’s not about that. It’s about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t commit to it nor will I be where I want to be in the future. I am committed to this challenge so my actions need to reflect that 100%.

Stats for this week:

Weight: 131(morning, before breakfast)
Chest measurement: 36″
Waist measurement: 27″
Lower waist: 31.5″ (down 1/2″- woo!)
Hips: 28″

So, this week is a new week: Week Three aka Week of Redemption. Let’s do this.

PS- not sure why all my progress pics came out so grainy, but this is the best I could get..
