Journey to 60: Week 9

I've been neglectful in my duties of blogging the progress in the diet program we implemented for my not so little sister.

It has been 2 months since we started this project and her school will open the calendar for Academic Year 2018-2019 by the end of this month. She wants to lose a bit more weight before that happens, though I am planning to take her to the tailor next week so that her uniform will be ready by the time school opens.

As to lifestyle change, we made her undergo; she is still on intermittent fasting for the diet and the exercise is still a combination of strength training and jogging. We are adding more exercises for Arms and Legs since we do not want her skin to sag especially now that she has lost some weight.

I also offered that we buy new clothes especially shorts since some of them no longer fits her. but she declined, saying she might still lose some weight and we'll have to buy new ones again.

So I think, July will be for shopping clothes just before school opens for her.

Updates on her statistics:

WEIGHT: 

• 85 kgs before the road to 60 program
• 85 kgs after 1 month of training at the end of May
• 76 kgs after we introduced intermittent fasting in June

WAISTLINE:

• 42 inches before the road to 60 program
• 37 inches after 1 month of training at the end of May
• 34 inches after we introduced intermittent fasting in June

Journey to 60: Week 7

This week marks the 3rd week of the fasting regime of our not so little project. We planned to escalate her fasting to 48 hours instead of 24. But unfortunately, it did not go as planned because of various circumstances like an invitation to the fiesta. :D

Anyway, for this week this was the routine she made. I cannot detail the exercise or name them for the circuits done because most of the time I am doing something else.
But the workouts usually are a combination of Gym Rings routine and Bodyweight exercises and Bodyweight  exercises with Weights.

Monday (June 11)

• Circuit C Workout
• Fasting
  

Tuesday (June 12)

• No Workout
• Dinner - Tinolang Manok
  She was allowed to eat as she was the one who prepared the chicken for the stew.
  

Wednesday (June 13)

• Walked for 3 km.
• Dinner at the Fiesta :D
  

Thursday (June 14)

• No Workout
• Homemade Shawarma
  We made her eat Shawarma condiments wrapped in Mustard Leaf instead of Pita Bread. :D
  

Friday (June 15)

• Circuit C Workout
• Fasting
  

Saturday (June 16)

• Leisurely walk for an Hour or so.
• Late Lunch at Jollibee
  I allowed it because she was with me all throughout my medical appointment that lasted for 3 hours.
  

Sunday (June 17)

• Combination of Circuit C, Circuit D and Circuit B for a single rep of each.
• Fasting
  

And this marks the end of the 7th week. Today we start a new one and hopefully, we can strictly follow that diet order :D

Journey to 60: Week 6

I am required to report to the office the past week and was not able to see what workout conditions were being imposed on our not so little project.

One thing for sure she's on her 2nd week of intermittent fasting.
With regards to fasting, we make her eat once every 2 days or let's say once every 36 hours.
No snacks in between, only water.

And before you react, I ask her every 2 hours if I am at the house if she is hungry.

We noticed though that even after fasting, the amount of her food intake is the same when she was not on fast.
Hmmm... Makes you wonder if an extension of the fast is in order.


And so for the workout.
Just to be clear, there are 5 circuits that the husband is making her do, that I am aware of.
I am not really sure which were done this week and I do not also know the routines in between, but I'll try to fill in the blanks in the succeeding posts.
After all, we are halfway there.

Monday (June 4): Yoga

• Yoga with the Pregnant Lady to improve Breathing and Lower Back Mobility.

Tuesday (June 5): Circuit A

• Squats
• Push Ups
• Pull Ups (in her case Hanging from the Gym Rings)
• Chair Dips
• Bent Knee Rows
• Bear Crawl 
• Squats with weights
• Rest

Wednesday (June 6): No workout

Thursday (June 7): Run

• 5 KM Run, she was able to run for almost 1KM without stopping this time, so improvement.

Friday (June 8): Circuit B

• Reverse Lunges
• Bridges
• Push Ups
• Bent Knee Rows
• Squats

Saturday (June 9): No Circuit

• She should have one but we were walking half the day in the city because of some errands, so this was skipped.

Sunday (June 10): No Circuit

• We were also walking for an hour or so because we attended a birthday celebration and we let her eat a lot of Meat, and No Rice but a Pizza is still carbs. Not entirely cruel.

For now, she is complaining that when lying in a prone position she can feel her bones.

A bit of progress there then :D
