Starting of something new

This Saturday coming up (March 5), I am meeting with a nutrition coach from My Fit Foods. I have tried many things before but nothing seems to work well for me. I have tried workout plans that had their own nutrition plan built in the program, Nutrisystem, and alkaline diet (it worked but as soon as I stopped eating like that the weight came back with a vengeance). I even tried to do my own meal preps but I may do well for the first 3 days and then when the rest of week I fail drastically. I hope that this will help me drop a few pounds and get me started on this weight loss journey again. I am currently working out 2-3 days a week by doing a boot camp called Camp gladiator. During these 21 days, I will be posting my thoughts and opinions on the food, my mood, and the exercises I will be doing.

Why am I doing this?
 Over the past year, I have noticed my weight slowly going up. At first I thought, well maybe it’s because I am in a new relationship or could be the meds I have been taking. Well it couldn’t be the new relationship because we don’t go out to eat, all we do is sit at his place and watch movies and chill. The meds isn’t the issue because I stopped taking them for a few months to reset my body and I didn’t drop any weight from that. So, it all leads up to my eating habits. I find myself eating at odd times and eating too much of whatever it is I choose to eat. I have notice at work I tend to go and get fast food more. I only get a 30-minute break for lunch; I’m not able to enjoy my food. I am downing my food as if someone is going to take it away from me. I tried to do the meal prep cook enough for 3 days and on the 3rd day cook again but life gets in the way and I don’t get the chance to prep like I want to. This time around, I am planning to stick with this for 21 days and follow what they suggest for me to do.

Expectations
 Truthfully, I do hope I am able to lose some weight. Since I went online and set up for them to contact me so I can schedule a consultation with the nutrition coach, the guy I spoke with name Jacob did answer a few of my questions but I know I will have more for him coming tomorrow. One of the questions I asked was on average how much weight does a person usually loses. He said anywhere between 8-12 pounds in the 3 weeks. I am a little skeptical because I did some searching and the few blogs and reviews I found some say they lost way less than that. I do understand each person is different and some may lose more or less than others. My overall goal for my weight loss journey is to lose and never find again 20lbs over the next six months. During this 3 week process I would like to at least drop anywhere between 3-6 pounds which is about right if I lose 1-2 lbs. per week. I believe I can do this I just need to remind myself that I can.

Type of workouts
 As stated before I currently do and outdoor boot camp called camp gladiator and no I am not a trainer or do I work for the company. I have been doing this for almost 2 years now. I can honestly say I know the workouts are working because I have gotten stronger and faster. If you are interested in learning more about CG let me know in the comments and I will gladly give your more information about it. Every day is a different kind of workout but each week has a theme: Week 1: Endurance Week Week 2: Fundamental Week 3: HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) Week Week 4: METCON (Metabolic Conditioning) Week Well I will come back with what was discussed between me and my nutrition coach and should start my program Sunday March 6. Until then....
