Well it is day 3 of ramp it up of the slim in 6 series. I wasn't sure if one week of Start it up would be enough before moving onto this phase, but I decided to be ambitious. The first day of ramp it up I realized that I could have spent a little more time with start it up. I found that I couldn't keep up, but did as much as I could. I was drenched with sweat and just kept on plugging. I decided to see how my body felt after the first two days of ramp it up. I was a little bit sorer than when doing start it up, but nothing where I felt like I was injuring myself. I decided to stay with ramp it up and just keep trying to improve each day. My goal for the week is to keep up with ramp it up for the 6 days in a row. My daily goal is to improve the number of reps in her on the floor bun exercises in ramp it up.
Well today I finally noticed some improvement. I could keep up with parts of it. I think the abs are the most challenging for me. I do have low back issues, so need to be careful with doing the upper and lower ab moves simultaneously. So for now I do what I can without causing pain to my back. I also got xrays and went to a chiropractor. He has a holistic style including massage, exercise, stretches, chiropractics, acid/base balance, and nutrition. He says it is most important to regulate your sugar levels. I had purchased Robert Furgerson's food lovers plan which helps you to eat a low glycemic index diet. I would like my next weeks goal to be formulating and using the 1400 cal diet plan online. I am feeling like I am putting in so much effort with exercising that I don't want what I put in my mouth to ruin it for me. I was preparing for Thanksgiving thinking, I am not going to pig out on that holiday. I need to set that goal of keeping it moderate. I will just try and keep the images of me pushing so hard through the workouts in the front of my mind when I see all the food and desserts.
