Day 15 / Day 16 (The 60-Day Challenge)

Well, my trainer forgot that we were going to do a weigh-in and measurements which is good because of the "bad" weekend. We did talk about my routine more. Apparently I'm supposed to be lifting 4 times a week as opposed to my usual 3 times a week. This should consist of major muscle groups the first day (back, chest, glutes, hamstrings), smaller muscle groups the second day (biceps, triceps, calves, adductors, abductors, lats, shoulders), rest the third day, and then repeat the process for days 4 and 5. I'll be adding this to my routine starting this week. He also told me all the other clients have lost 8-10 pounds (I've only lost 7) and he himself has lost 15 pounds. I guess he likes prison food more than I do.

Day 15 Workour (Cardio + Weight-Training)
- 20 minute treadmill warmup
- 30 minute weight-training with trainer

I'm already getting bored with my routines. That's probably why it's so hard to reach a high heart rate. It seems like I'm just going through the motions. To be honest, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. That's my short-term goal. Thanksgiving will roughly be the midway point of this thing. I know I'm on a strict diet but I will not be following it on Thanksgiving Day. I'm justifying this in that I'm not someone who eats the candied yams or the cranberry relish and I'm not a big pie fan. I also don't like eating leftovers the entire weekend. So I think I'm just going to enjoy my Thanksgiving in moderation and then go back to the diet the next day.

Day 16 Workout (Cardio + Weight-Training)
- 20 minute warmup on treadmill
- 45 minutes weight-training (focus on smaller muscle groups)
- 35 minutes on elliptical
- 33 minutes on treadmill (new treadmill routine - 2 minutes walk, two minutes run all at a 4.0 incline; a lot harder than it sounds; cranks my heart rate up during the running segments)
