We are prepped and ready to begin Hammer and Chisel tomorrow. I'm not going to lie that I'm a little scared. I don't know why I always get this way before trying a new program. I just do. Maybe it's because I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do it, or afraid I'm going to be in pain. For one, I should know by now that I'm not going to be able to do it all. If I could it would mean I look like Autumn Calabrese at the moment. Second, I know I'm going to be in pain, but have I ever complained afterwards, that I wish I hadn't done that workout??? No. That's because muscle pain is the one kind of pain that every time you feel it days after, you feel a reward for the pain. Funny isn't it, how the mind works?
So I've got my new meal plan format mapped out. I'm not the greatest at getting all my containers in each day. I do pretty well at not going over, but I find it hard to always get all my greens and the orange container in every day. I intentionally left out a yellow container to cut back on the carbs. You'll also notice that I eliminated rice and most bread and pastas. (If you've been following me for a while you may remember how much I love spaghetti and was eating it every day for lunch. I changed that up since I had plateaued.) I haven't had much bread since June, but as I planned this out, I tried to think of you readers and that you might like to see variety. I, on the other hand, can eat the exact same thing 5 days a week and it not bother me. So thank you for adding a little spice to my life. :).
The equipment you'll need for Hammer and Chisel is:
Stability ball or weight bench
Resistance bands
Hand weights
Pull up bar, or bands with door attachment kit
