Lean Eating with Precision Nutrition

I was fortunate to land one of 100 spots in the 6 month Precision Nutrition Lean Eating program.  I am not only intimidated, but compared to the other team members, I also feel out of my league.   In fact, there are a lot of trainers, athletes, gym owners and the like participating.     Nonetheless, I am forging gamely on.  My immediate goal is to be healthier, my secondary goal is to lose 40lbs, as noted by 5 (count ‘em) 5 doctors.  Every single doctor (and I bet the new one on Wednesday) have prescribed increased activity and significant dietary discipline. 

This week we are concentrating on exercise and today we had to practice 13 movements including squats and lunges and deadlifts.  Oh my! 

This was my first time doing a workout like this.  Historically,  I’ve always been more of a cardio girl. I brought a friend, my printed images of each workout, and then setup shop in the more casual weight room off the women’s locker room of my gym.

For the most part I did 3 sets of 5 reps each with 5lb dumbells. I was a bit wobbly after and my hamstrings and butt are feeling it now.

They don’t start in with the nutrition part of the program till next week, however after poking around the message boards I see what’s in store for me.  I confess I’m looking forward to it.
