Clean Eating and Circuit Training

I'm still going through this book by Tosca Reno call The Eat Clean Diet. So far this is still like a refresher course for me since I used to work out like this and eat like what they talk about in this book. But you know what? I am so glad that I bought the book. I carry it around with me from room to room and in my laptop bag trying to stay creative with ways to get that exercise and good diet in me daily.
So for the past couple says well really a week I have been packing my little cooler whether I stay home or if I go up to my swap meet which we are still setting up.
Since I may be spending a lot of time during the day here at the swap meet I am thinking about bringing a cooler along with a slow cooker since there is like a break room here.
My daughter thought it was bit much but it is either that or when you come home from school there will be no dinner for you. I mean this cannot be hard really. Just cook it at the swap meet and drive it home at the end of the day. Come on.
So I have my exercise bands that I bought when I first got p90x, I have several sets and so I put them in my laptop bag as well. I have been getting in 10 minutes here and there working a certain group of body parts all at once with a 90 second burst of cardio like I dunno jumping jacks or running in place. Basically the cute term of scientific term is vertical progression according to Oxygen Magazine where you work one muscle group and then move on to the next while letting the other muscle group you just worked take a rest. I like that, you get more done and in less time and with the same results really.
I know this works because I used to do this on the regular. So I am just really back to my old beat.
I know what you all want to know too. Have I lost any weight yet? Yep I did. I wasn't really paying attention but I did thanks to this book and following it to the letter. I lost 4 lbs last week!
Now most of that no doubt was water but you know what? I'm going to claim it anyways and keep going. I would like to see how much I can take off and tone up by the time Kevin comes home off the ship! That would be fun to see the look on his face when I meet him at the airport!
That hot! Don't you think?
Anyone else tried the eat clean diet? Let me know how it went for you.

Chat later
