Upping the Ante

I've been asked to up the Ante and post daily now that we are starting Phase Four.  

If you need a recap:

Before

Phase One

Phase Two

Phase Three

Phase Four is crucial both in timing, caloric consumption, and amount of time devoted to exercise.

Timing - Phase 4 starts three weeks before Thanksgiving and will last through the holidays.  Ok - I know Crazy.  This will be the High Intensity Component of the workout cycle.  Literally go hard or go home.  We've eased into it because if you are like me your body and mind needs time to adjust so this feels more like a gradually natural thing vs. I'm really freaking out my body.  

Be warned: 

The High Intensity component will allow you to take three days off - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years.  Otherwise, it is game on!

Why Phase Four now - I've been stagnant at this measurement now for the past month or two.  On on the one hand this is good, not having regressed.  On the other hand, it's taking me nowhere nearer to my goal of size 2.  So time to ramp up.

Double hit:  Lower caloric consumption and ramp up work outs
