I don't know, Rhea - I think you might be on to something !Wow Lita, you are on top of things lately!! Must be all that S&H workouts huh? JK
Darlin' Rhea - if you need the rest, PLEASE take it . You won't get the same benefits from the last week of Meso 3 by forcing yourself to finish it than if you did the week when you were mentally and physically ready for it. Just a suggestion, of course .Been way too busy with nothing it seems. Work is crazy, workouts are starting to slide too since I just don't really want to do them at the moment. I think I need a full recovery week. But I'm in the last week of Meso #3, I really should just finish it out and then take some time.
Honey - why not take a rest week this week and then let next week take care of itself ? You may be recharged - or you may need a few more days off. Either way, it's what's your body is asking for and I (having learned the hard way ) think you'd be best off honoring it's request .I have a darn trial next week, so maybe that would be a semi good week to take a full week. Now if I could just get myself motivated to start the last week of the Meso cycle.
Well, IMHO, you definitely win "Best of the Show" for all your hard work and great progress !!!!!!!! I am so proud of you for sticking with it even now that the challenge is done!!!!!!!ohh..BTW 98 day challenge is over, but I decided not to put in for the judging, too much figuring out technical stuff with the pictures and then time to do an essay? Not this week. I'm still going to keep it up with the food and the workouts (as if you did not know this already)
Hope so - 'cause we miss ya when you don't pop in!Talk to you soon.
That doesn't happen often so you'd better run with it !Lita - I know, you are so right.
Now you're talking !I just need to get the crude done here at work and then workout only if I feel like it.
I know - but you're right in that it can definitely have a boomerang effect !Still tired, but could be from all the coffee I keep drinking, smells so good that I can't help myself!! LOL
I should say so !!!! You rock!!!!!!Thanks for the praise on the BFFM challenge. I really did do pretty well with my goals. Here's the breakdown:
Weight: -11.6 lbs
BF%: - 5.4 %
LBM: (important one) +.07 --managed to lose about 2 lbs of LBM and then get it back thanks to STS
Biceps: r: -.75; l: -.25 (which is good since I don't have big arms anyway lol)
thighs: r: -1.5; l: -1.25
hips:; -2.75"
waist: - 3.0"
chest: -2.25" (oh well, figures)
So I figure it is working for me.
Yes .But I do need a rest.
Fun counts for A LOT, my dear!!!!! How often do we truly get to have fun? So often we do what we feel we must or feel we should - but I say, break loose! Life is pretty raunchy when it's all work and no play .I'm just a bit anxious to get to my next rotation which is the Turbo Fire rotation with Chalene. More cardio then strength, but fun..
Good gravy, woman, that is awesome!!!!! Wow - you really HAVE increased your strength! That's definitely more than I heft - and I thought I was doing well !I would feel guilty if I skipped the last week with Cathe, but who knows, I might this time. I've gained enough strength. For pete's sakes who needs to barbell curl more than 45 lbs? Thats enough for me!
Sigh.... see, the fun always comes to an end !Okay, I have to stop procrastinating and get back to work. Still haven't really prepped for that trial next week. Hi ho hi ho its off to work I go......
