Hey there Challengers.
Week 10 for me too.
Not much progress in the weight dept since I seem to keep hitting "problem" days with my eating. My workouts are consistent though and I am really seeing the difference in my legs and upper body with the extra padding slowly disappearing.
Have started a freestyle type rotation created by Carole McMain back in '05. Pretty heaving on the time - for me it's taking about 1 1/2 - 2 hours to complete. I am trying for about half hour of my cardio in the AMs before work to "kick it up a notch". Am really enjoying it, but not sure how long I can keep this all up. I am noticing there is no rest day, unless it is the 10 - 15 mile run on Sundays?
Yesterday was 1/2 hour run = 3 miles, GS legs floorwork & abs, MM shoulders, bi's and tri's and then another 1/2 hour run = 2.5 miles (My legs were a bit fried!).
Hit the IMax2, 1-5 this AM and supposed to do GS legs standing, walking lunges (I do about 200 with 5 - 8 lb weights) and the MM(? I think) chest & back. Got a hockey game to go to so am hoping to get home early enough to get my WO in before we leave:7
Gayle & Kath - unfortunately I love Free Days (since I'm not on any type of eating plan:9 Am trying to just eat 5 or 6 times a day and actually playing a bit with my carbs as to when and how much I can eat (sweet potatoes, grain breads, etc.) My metabolism is winding down with age and the last 6 months have been completely experimental. I don't have many cravings, but do like to eat "junk" here and there, in moderation.
Amelia - I'm with you - I would prefer a change in my body and not just dropping weight. I remember when I weighed less, but I jiggled more:+ And I'm with you on the weight thing too, sometimes do a couple fewer reps so I can increase my weight or I feel I'll never make any improvements. I do think I need some pace mates though. Keep needing a couple lbs more and 5 is too much.
Lori - good job on the clean eating - I just love the way I feel when I have eaten well for my body. Hope all goes well with DS and your WO today !
Becca - mmmm, cheesburger. I have been indulging in a few burgers lately but without the cheese and bun. Put tomato, onion and mustard on mine and wrapped between some romaine lettuce. Totally yummy:9 And I've made some turkey burgers too - it's all in the seasonings and grilling, DH used wood chips for some added flavor !
Roxie - got the foot thing here too, find my feet fall asleep due to tightness on the upper bone above my arch. I have multiple shoes, Ryka enlightens for my step, floorwork and then running shoes for the TM. Sometimes need to adjust them as my WO goes on. Hasn't stopped me yet though}( Just kept buying shoes until something worked for me, now I have loads of walking shoes
Andrea - in case you made it back - sent some <<< sleepy vibes >>> your way. Hope you had a good workout.
