PiYo Week 2 of PiYo finished! And PiYo Meal Plan

So, week 2 of PiYo COMPLETE!  I can finally get out of bed without my ab muscles protesting, which I think is a good thing!  It means that those muscles are growing stronger and are adjusting to the new routine.  In fact, I can feel myself getting stronger with each workout; I can do more push ups, and the tricep push ups are coming easier.  The moves are becoming more fluid, and I don't feel like I'm going to fall on my face (so often :))

New in the program calendar this week was the Core workout.  I've always felt like my abs were the strongest part of my body, and they still might be, but Core definitely challenged them!  It also challenged my balance, but for a Clutzarella like me, I feel like that is important.  Maybe I'll fall less.  I'll let you know.

Here were my workouts for the last week:
Monday - Sweat
Tuesday - Define: Lower Body
Wednesday - Core
Thursday - Define Upper Body
Friday - Sweat
Saturday - Rest (I switched it with Sunday, because we were FINALLY getting our pool!)
Sunday - Core

Now the food plan:  I have to be honest with you, it freaked me out.  This plan has me eating a lot more food than I'm used to on my regular clean eating plan.  Honestly, I feel like I already eat A LOT!  But I'm taking a deep breath and stepping outside of my comfort zone.  I'll try it for a week and see what happens!  I'll update you next week on how it goes.  Anyway, here is my meal plan for this week:

I have people asking me if they think that PiYo can help them lose weight.  Um, yeah!  While it is totally different from any other program I have every done, I know I am building strength and muscle, and MUSCLE burns FAT!  If you show up EVERY DAY for your workout consistently, give 100% while you are there, and keep your food clean, YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!
