It's day 44 (I think), and I haven't followed the Supreme 90 program for a week and a half. I injured my wrist, and since all of the workouts require dumbbells, I can't do them without injuring myself further. There are also exercises like push-ups, burpees, and mountain climbers, that I can't perform because of my injury. So I started going to the gym again. I use the EFX machine, which is sort of like an elliptical machine, except the handles don't move. The first day I went to the gym, I wasn't as conditioned as I used to be, since it's a different kind of training. However, over this period of time, I have improved and got to where I used to be. My eating habits are really good. I need to improve on my portion size, but I am eating healthy and clean, and it's really making a difference. I have noticed a positive impact in my mood, energy, skin, and nails. The only thing is, that making my food is time consuming. If I want my meal to be healthy, I have to make it myself and control the ingredients. As for my weight, I seem to have hit a plateau. I have not gained weight, and I have not lost weight, BUT, my jeans have been fitting looser so I think I'm starting to lose inches. I think to speed up this process I might have to increase my weight training. Until I recover from my dislocated wrist, I am going to focus on my core and lower body for weight training. Well, that's all I have to say for now, here are some pictures of the story so far...

You can't really tell what this is, but its a banana, and some papaya.





Since this looks disgusting, I will explain its contents:  Spinach, Tofurkey,  2 eggs, and Tomato
These are my stats from the third day I went to the gym. My very first one was 280 calories in 28 minutes.


This is my progress! I did more strides and burned almost the same amount of calories in  less time.


This is today.

I have been eating healthy so far, and it really has been helping me. I noticed my skin became softer! I have been eating 1500-1700 calories per day, and it has helped me, however, I should be eating 1200-1500 calories a day to lose two-three pounds in a week, which is a healthy amount. Writing down my food intake has become a hassle, and since I don't have it with me at all times, my caloric intake isn't accurate. Writing it down makes it hard to keep track since I can forget what I ate throughout the day. I found an app called myfitnesspal, and I think using my ipod as my calorie tracker will make it easier since I can imput everything instantly. Here are some pictures of the meals I have been eating: They're pictures from my phone, so they're not very good quality.
