RP Strength 4 Week Check-In

4 weeks goes by fast! It's been a rollercoaster of a month (feels more like 2 months have gone by) haha. But here I am! Checking in on my RP Diet. I am at the 4 week mark and there are 12 total! I started on Jan. 1st at #159 and I have gone down about 3lbs to #157.
I was originally discouraged BUT I have done this before and I know how RP Strength works. The key is to just trust the process. That is also why I make sure to take before/during/after photos to help track my progress. Even though the scale isn’t always moving in the right direction that doesn't mean there aren't other physical changes happening. That was "thankfully" my case today!

This month I started out strong for about a week hitting my numbers and everything. Then my birthday weekend (Jan. 12) rolled around and I had some cake and wine and then right when I was going to get back on track I got a cold. So there were a few hiccups to start out with but nothing that 8 more weeks of consistency can't fix! This is also LIFE and things happen so you can't beat yourself up about it and that's why I love the RP Strength templates. They prepare you for life and help you bounce back when you need it most! They give me a sense of peace knowing that if/when I need to get my diet back in control I have the steps to take to do it.

SO like I said before, I was originally bummed with the scale since it hadn't moved much. Deep down I knew that I didn't work hard enough to see the results I wanted anyway. My goal these next 8 weeks will be to buckle down and stop eyeing the cookies and wine! haha

For the past 4 weeks I have been using my old 1:1 RP templates, but today I got some new ones to hopefully help me dial everything in a little more. Even though my starting weight is about the same as last time, my training and lifestyle are completely different these days. So now I have an updated template to guide me the rest of the way.

On a more fun note though...I am going to post my 4 week progress photos below! This just shows that EVEN though the scale doesn't always go down like you want it - There are still changes happening! You can see that I have gotten a little leaner and I am definitely feeling better overall. I'm still navigating the breastfeeding and dieting part of everything. I also think the whey or casein protein has been upsetting both of our stomachs a little so I am trying to figure that one out! There are plenty of options to choose from so I just have to find the right one for us.

Don't be hatin' on my Uggs either lol

As for my training. It's still been about the same! Usually 4-5 workouts a week. Most days I do Street Parking + accessory work if I can. Some days I just jump into a class workout if I don't want to workout alone. I've also been throwing in some functional bodybuilding. I love accessory work so I try to squeeze some in whenever I can. My favorite program for that is the Awaken Training Series by Marcus Filly. You can check it out HERE.
