Week 2 of my 180 day challenge

I have completed my first week and I am almost half way done my second week.  I have been sticking to my Ultimate Reset diet, I had one, sort of, cheat day, which was Mother's day.  I did not go overboard so it wasn't all bad.


As far as my workouts are going, in my first week, I did P90X3 and I am currently doing the first week of Body Beast.  I really like the difference of the two and neither one is overwhelming in regards to time.  I have also been running a couple times a week a and this is where my diet affects me the most.  I don't seem to have the same amount of energy that I use to and really struggle with my pace.  I usually run when I get home from work and I don't usually have a snack until I get home and it just isn't enough to fully fuel my run.


As far as weight loss goes, I am down about 8lbs, and I feel really good.  I continue to have Shakeology every day and usually eat a lean protein for dinner to keep my strength up.


Overall I am feeling good and I feel like my body is starting to change a little, (ie: losing some of my gut).

The start of my 180 day challenge

This is the Get Ripped part of my blog.  I am about to get started on a 180 day challenge.  I am going to do a hybrid workout with 90 day of P90X3 and Body Beast, by alternating weeks of each program.  I am going to start with P90X3 and then the following week do Body Beast and so on until I have completed both programs.

I am going to try to stick to a very strict diet.  My with is starting to do the Ultimate reset and I am going to do most of it with her but add a little more protein so that I can workout.

I am doing this to lose body fat and try to get ripped, so to speak.

Here is my before pictures and measurements:

 My stats are:

Chest: 42"
Upper Arm right: 13"
Upper Arm Left: 13 1/2
Waist: 36 1/2

Starting Weight: 174

I will be doing a weekly update, so that you can see how it is going as well as to keep me on track.
