    I was wondering the same thing on the intervals. Just thought I was remembering back to FLP#1. Guess I’m not crazy!

  2. Helen says:

    I have noticed that the 2 e-mails I have received this week state 4 intervals on CARDIO . . . I thought that we are up to 5 intervals???

    Did our Coach fall off the end of the earth? He hasn’t posted anything since yesterday morning. We miss you. :-(

    I didn’t post on saturday because I wanted you to see that I did make up for my missed workouts. So here is my blog

      Curves does focus way too much on machines where you sit – so I can see how that would aggravate the tailbone. It’s helpful to remember that any exercise you do seated, is almost always much more effective if you can do it standing. A small change, but a huge difference in results.

    Hi Coach -
    Back from Texas & blog is all caught up. Posts w/pictures! Ting went well except for the Gym in Arlington not willing to sell me a multiple day pass, so we punted. Walking is always an option.

    Anyway – about calorie cycling. The scale did not budge while I was gone, (didn’t go up, but didn’t go down) but it has moved down these last few days not cycling. Last time through the FLP, week 4 was where things slowed down as well. I chalked it up to weight loss leveling out, but can it be that cycling isn’t as effective for me?

    Anyway – take a look: http://thejoyofmakingchanges.blogspot.com/

      It’s hard to say for sure, but I would go with it one more week and see how you do. If after a cheat meal, you lose more weight, then what’s probably happening is that your calories are dropping a little too low on the low days and there is no need to drop to half portions.

  6. After hours spent going from store to store, I have come to the conclusion that unsweetened cranberries are a mythical entity and really do not exist. I wonder if I should use sweetend cranberries, or use more raisins.

    Also, we are given a choice of wheat germ or bran. Given that they are quite different, is one preferred over the other? I think I will use half of each for now. I’m looking forward to trying this breakfast.

    Just got a chance to finally take some measurements for the first time since FLP2 started. I measured in multiple places this time to get a bigger picture of where I was losing inches – chest area (armpits, breast and under breast (ribcage), natural waist, lower waist, hips, thighs, top of knee, calves and arms at bicep area. Ok……. drum roll please! Down 101/2 more inches!!!! I was amazed. I knew my clothes were fitting looser and looser but I didn’t think I had dropped that much more. I’m only down about 5lbs since the beginning so I was surprised!

    This was a hard week. The combination of doing half meal portions and coming down with a real bad case of hunger and trying to get a “little” bit of (stupid) baking done for the holiday…well, it was difficult to say the least.

    The smoothie did not work out this week and it is my favorite when I get a full portion. I gave half of it to my husband and the other half was divided into breakfast and a morning snack for me, and just was not sufficient. I could have used a cup or two of squash about then. Anyway, I had to go back to the regular servings. Now that I am wiser, I will give it another go.

    The exercises are great and look forward to them.

    Despite everything, my scale says I lost 3 lbs, and can’t believe it.

    Whew! Another week down- It is geting harder to resist all the CHristmas cookies and such but it is so not worth it to cheat…. I look forward to the work outs now and don’t jsut want to get them over with.

  14. Hi all! My blog has been updated at http://britgrls.blogspot.com/
    Can’t belive we are about to start week 5. Still got to figure out my fun cardio, but it wil probably be the same hike I’ve done the last 2 weeks, because it kicks butt!

    Seemed like a long week, but completed!

    Hey Coach, I have a crop of fresh coconuts and know that you have allowed me to have the water and flesh (young Thai) during the 1st FLP. Can you please give me some guidelines? It is especially beneficial after a workout.
    The weather this week has been HOT during the day, but we are having a winter storm bearing down from China.
    Also, some time ago you promised some info regarding caffeine and alcohol. We have only 2 more weeks on the program and I need to decide whether or not to add coffee back into my diet after the program is finished. The info that I have read is quite conflicting. Will you give us your professional opinion, please?
    One more thing, I will be travelling to the north of Laos over the holiday and will take an initial flight and return flight, with the interval travel by bus. I won’t be able to take much food with me, but I know we have some “cheat” meals built in. Any suggestions for me?
    Thanks!
