New Training Plan with Hubby

Last week, hubby and I trained together for the first time in a couple of years. It went well (even though I wanted to cuss him out afterwards). I'm doing most of the weight lifting on a stationary balance ball (can't remember what it's called) so that you're engaging your abs while you lift. Craziness! The ab portion of the workout was the toughest. He says that today we'll do legs and that I probably will be sore for a few days afterward.

In terms of the eating schedule, I'm getting used to it and find myself getting hungry around the time I'm supposed to eat my next meal. There's a great deal of protein (I'm usually 100% over the daily recommended amount) and fiber. The fat was a bit high (by my standards) at first, but hubby tweaked the items on the menu and now that is under control. The calories are well below and the sodium is very good. I have a bit of trouble maintaining the carb level he's requesting, but all in all I'm doing okay.

So, I don't really know what to expect in terms of weight. I did well in my training with him the last time and my weight was still in the 160's (low 160's, but still 160's). I really want to get out of this category and hope that his training will help me do so. With the new eating plan, it should. I have my "cheats" on Sunday...but you know, the cheats aren't really cheats. It's getting to eat the things I ate on my last plan. How nutty is that?
