Sunday Fitness Progress: Cardio & Food diary

Yeah, I know, I know, I haven't posted Saturday Fitness Tip in 2 weeks and I didn't post progress yesterday. But I'm doing it today, because SFP can stand for Sunday Fitness Progress as well ;). Hope you don't mind!

You can check out my last Fitness progress post here. 
Not completely true, but good motivation still :) (Source: Pinterest)

I also started "new" workout program, I knew I needed to do more cardio, but just didn't find an exciting way to do it. So I ordered Zuzana Light's ZCUT Power Cardio DVDs, I waited 2 weeks for them to come, so I'm doing them for 1 week now and I can tell that I already feel tighter, lighter and I can perform better. Also, my muffin tops/love handles (however you'd like to call them) are smaller! I even weighted myself and I lost 0,5 kgs in one week, but weight is so inaccurate to me. Try to weight yoursell in different parts of the day and on different days in week. Sometimes even 2 kgs +/-. Or is it just me?  I still prefer measuring and focusing on how I feel.

I'll review DVDs for you after a month or doing them.


Now to the measurements:

I refuse to post my "naked" pictures, just because changes are not major, I'll post them after few weeks of (mainly) cardio. Sorry, no nudity today :D

  1. Thank you for sharing!
    I agree on the weight thing. Besides, sometimes you don't lose any weight on the scale but you do in centimeters. I tend to measure myself more than I weigh myself :)
    Also nice to see what you ate! It's a good inspiration :)

    You're doing great, Deja!
