Days 6 & 7 - Weekend
The first boot camp weekend consisted of a half day workout on Saturday morning, then the remainder of Saturday and Sunday we were told to "take it easy... especially on Sunday", reason is we will need a full day of rest before week 2. As previously mentioned, the intensity level of the workouts will start to increase substantially.
Blood pressure monitor broke on Saturday morning so no blood pressure readings till its either fixed or replaced. Batteries were replaced on first day, can't believe they are already dead after only 5 days of daily use? Will head over to Walgreen / CVS and pick up a new one over the weekend if needed.
7:30 am - Breakfast
Saturday - Wheat Flacks and almond milk, Zero Fat/Sugar Yogurt - Strawberry
Sunday - 2 scrambled eggs, 3 slices of Canadian Turkey Bacon
Surprise weigh in @ 8:00 am Saturday morning, we were not told our weight or any other information, this was a "check point" for the trainers to make sure we do not "cheat" on food intake over the weekend. My official weight check after week 1 will be on Monday morning on 5/20 @ 7:00 am. We will be re-measured on all body areas that were measured during Day 1 to validate any weight loss, any change in body composition, BMI and new estimated body fat amounts.
My core goal was a quick downward reduction of my extremely high blood pressure, I have already seen a drop of 5 points each on my systolic and diastolic pressure measurements so on that point alone I am pleased with the results after week 1, I will be extremely ecstatic if the reduction in HBP is followed with a loss of 5 or more pounds.
8:30 am - Morning Workout Session - Saturday Only
Primarily walking, cardio, stretching and elliptical. Another AM 4+ block walk, same distance as Friday and same results, heart rate 140+ BPM with cool down to 90 BPM withing 4 minutes.
11:30 am - Lunch
Saturday - Sliced Turkey Deli Meat on a bed of greens, balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
Sunday - Seafood Lunch, steamed shrimp, clams, broiled Tuna steak, celery & carrots
1:00 pm - Afternoon Workout Session, none for Saturday & Sunday
Weather is really nice so spent the majority of the free time over the weekend outdoors, with no whirlpool / hot tub access, the beach and pool where the next best thing.
5:30 pm - Dinner
Saturday - Halibut fillet (7 oz) topped with red chili sauce on a bed of red Quinoa with steamed broccoli and sliced honeydew melon (1/4 cup) and sliced strawberries (1/4 cup)
