PN Challenge Week 1 D1- It has BEGUN!!!!
Soo… I’m off!!! Today marks Day 1 of my PN Body Transformation Challenge & it is also Week 17 - Day 114 of my Civilian Fitness Program.
This week is looking to be CRAZY busy because as some of you know, I am working full time & will be having VBS (Vacation Bible School) at our church in the evenings. So there go my evening workout sessions! As always, I am in charge of the games at VBS so I will be burning some extra calories there… I’ll be sure to wear my HR monitor!
So, in light of my crazy busy schedule this week, I’m planning to do my workouts in the AM before I go to work, and I’m happy to say that I have gotten that out the way for today!!! HORRAY!!!! Boy it feels sooo good to workout in the mornings!
I’m am also going to work on making this a habit after this week is over — at least 3 AM workouts before going to work. Today I also have my Civilian Fitness Program scheduled class and I will update as soon as that is over… for now, here I my stats for today:
- 7 hours of sleep

So… my commitment for the next 4 weeks (July 16 - August 12) is to go back to basics & follow the PN 10 Habits consistently. No messing with TDEE, calories, macro nutrient ratios or anything else. That’s pretty much it. I should be able to get out of this plateau that I’ve been on for the past month by following these guidelines.
My goal is a 10 lb fat loss to get me at 183 lbs by August 12, 2007. I know I can handle that!!
On another note… this weekend I also bought the following supps at Vitacost:
- 1 of Universal BCAA Stack Orange — 250 gm
- 1 of Greens Plus Wild Berry Burst High ORAC Antioxidant — 9.4 oz
- 1 of Syntrax Nectar Strawberry Kiwi — 2.09 lbs
and
- green tea from tea tech
can’t wait to try out the Strawberry Kiwi… sounds delish!!! Yummo!

Hey Vilma,
Do you notice that your BCAAs give you a distinct aftertaste? Just curious because mine don’t taste all that good. Let me know what you think of yours. I’m tempted to switch.
Btw- I added a link to you on my site!

Hey Ratko!
Thanks for linking me at your site. I did the same for you!
In all honesty, this will be the 1st time I will be taking BCAA’s. From what I’ve read at the PN boards… they do taste kinda weird. Is your’s flavored? Maybe you can mix them in really really cold water?? Or flavored water? I will let you know how mine taste as soon as I receive my package which should be in tomorrow (thursday). Right now I’ve just been taking a mixture of 4 g of glutamine, 1 scoop of Myoplex extended release protein which have High concentrate of BCAAs and glutamine (don’t have the exact ratios at the moment) & lots of Vitamin C …
Glutamine and Vitamin C seem to help a lot in the DOMS and has reduced it significantly… hopefully the BCAA drink that I ordered will be better.
I’ll let you know
