Wow, What a phase.
I really didn't think there was much change besides me just upping my weights with more ease, but if you look at where I started things are looking good.
Everything is a little more 'pulled' in, which is always a plus.
My measurements are what tell the truth and honestly, nothing drastic except in my waist which I am very thankful for:
2.5 inches
GONE.
Measurements:
Chest increased : 35in to 35.3in
Arms increase: 12in to 12.2in
Hips decrease: 36.5in to 36in
Waist decrease: 33.5in to 31in
Thighs increase: 22in to 23in
Calves increase: 14.7in to 15in
Forearm increase: 8.5 in to 8.8in
Shoulders increase 42.5in to 43in
Anything fantastic in this phase? Not really.
I just really focused on the diet because it switched up a bit.
No more "carbs" for dinner, instead you have 3rd full serving of carbs with your small meal; mid-afternoonish.
This made me really think outside of the box when it came to making dinner.
For most of my life dinner meant: pasta, breads, rice, potatoes, etc. but it had to quickly become, salad, veggies, kale chips, and more salad paired with LOTS OF PROTEIN!
I also had to think about last meal as well. I have yet to have 5 egg whites for my last meal--sorry Jamie. But I have had fun making protein filled "dessert" like meals.
Such as Greek yogurt with some honey, fresh strawberries and a tbs or two of 70% dark chocolate chips.
Or my all time favorite: Mock-Wendy's Frosty Protein shake.
This will rock your world.
3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 packet truvia (or stevia) or sweetener of choice
1 heaping tbs of cocoa powder
(more if you want it more chocolatey)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
8-10 ice cubes (this is key to making it a frosty)
Blend a heavy duty blender
(I did this in my cup blender and broke it. sad day)
Enjoy your seriously delicious healthy protein packed dessert shake.

Alright, so Phase 3 is next and things are going to be different.
I recently got a Lead in a Musical (ANNIE GET YOUR GUN) so rehearsals will be taking up my evenings for the next 10 weeks which puts a damper on my workout times. So I've decided to drag phase 3 out and only work out 3 times a week attempting to doubling up work outs on those days.
It is not going to be easy but I am determined to stick with it and finish this trainer.
I'll still maintain the diet laid out, which I LOVE, and will try my hardest to keep it for the remainder of my life.
I love being a healthy and strong woman.
Who's with me?
Here's to the long haul.
