RTP Week 2 Review

I was certainly glad of a rest day (from training).

Decided to have my first reward today. I replace Meal 4 (Chicken & Tomato) with a delicious “mini icecream”. 162 calories of dark chocolate coated creamy ice cream. It was rather small, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I decided that this reward meal should reduce my compliance by a point. The reason being, I’m not being 100% compliant. Reading module 5, Adam eludes to this when talking about gradually increasing compliance over the 12 week period. Here he states that 1 weekly reward meal reduces Overall Meal Compliance to 97.50% during that week. Ask yourself another related question… If you don’t take a reward meal (as I didn’t during week 1) – do I award myself an extra point? Hmmm, I guess there may be differing opinions over this and I’d love to hear them.

Week 2 in review. I have really made an effort to “stick to the program” and have been highly successful. I’ll admit there have been times I have been tempted, but it is my PRWs that keep me from giving in to these cravings. A good PRW is a powerful thing! I have found (as read on other blogs) that being prepared is key and I haven’t yet had a day where I haven’t been prepared. Getting food ready is getting easier and part of my nightly routine now.

In the two weeks I’ve dropped 10 lbs. Some of this was left over water weight from Christmas. I expect the next two weeks to be somewhat less of a drop (hoping around 4-6lbs). I have dropped 3% in bodyfat and lost a total of 5 inches from all my measurements (not sure about the accuracy of my measuring).

Current Cumulative Compliance is 97.86%
