Morning again ladies!!!
Wendy - HIIT is like intervals, kind of like Imax without the step routine, up for a bit and down for a bit. Imax 2 blast only is a perfect example of it. I never thought of the Gym as a get away - sounds nice -- kind of like Spa Day!
Gayle - I could really go on about why I feel good, I think it is the food....since 2002 I have been eating 1200 - 1300 calories but my exercise time and intensity has grown. I always thought because of my age I needed to stay low calorie and everytime I went up I gained but I think basically I was starving - didn't notice it while there but I can really tell the difference now. Your workout looks great!
Heidi - I have done the zigzag method and it works wonders - I have zigzagged both calories and carbs - it will definately hit a sticky point! Thanks for the encourgement -- I really need focus right now! On your workout....are you drinking enough water? When I don't I get dehydrated and depleted of energy especially for cardio.
Karen - I think zigzagging would be good - glad you can tell something from your pics - I need to take mine, don't think I will see a difference yet???? Your post made smile especially about crazed fitness woman!
Jean - I think you are right, I know I will get to add veggies back gradually and the protein will go up but I do know this....I have not any sugar cravings and I think it is from all the potatoes. For a while I had a hard time passing anything with sugar but lately I dont' even want it. So sorry you didn't sleep well, hope it was better last night.
Heather - I like that good hurt too! CTX is a great series and I am sure you will have some measurable results!!!!
Workout for Today
I am to do endurance this week and today I worked shoulders, bis and tris. 37 minutes, 123 calories burned, HR 91 average/118 max. Still feeling energetic!
Food For Yesterday
Yesterday was tricky because I had a business lunch and was unprepared - I checked with the trainer about what to eat and my answer was partly, "Are you serious about body transformation?" Well, I adjusted....because I am serious, I just don't think about it when I am eating.....
M1 1/2 cup dry oatmeal, cooked, 4 egg whites and 1 whole egg scrambled
M2 2.5 oz turkey breast, 4.5 oz white potato, 1 t peanut butter
M3 I ended up splitting my snack after lunch -- 1.5 oz shrimp, 2 oz sweet potato
M4 1 oz turkey breast, 2 oz sweet potato, 1 t peanut butter
M5 2.5 oz turkey breast, 4.5 oz white potato, 1 t peanut butter
M6 2.5 oz grilled sirloin, 4 oz sweet potato, 5 almonds
Usually I would have 5 meals but I went to my lunch, drank water, ate half of my snack upon return and the other half at snack time......it was a good day!
Off to the shower and have a great friday everyone!
