How is everyone today? I have a few minutes before I have to wake the kids for school, so I thought I'd start a chat this morning.
I just finished a 3-wk S&H rotation, after doing PS for 8 wks, so I'm officially done with Phase I of Bobbi's "Skinny Fat Plan." I have definitely gained strength, especially in my lower body, and look more defined. My stomach is stronger (not as strong as I'd like, though), but still flabby when I don't hold it in.
This week was going to be "Yoga-Only," but I'll be visiting my parents in NJ in a couple of weeks and always do only yoga there, so I've post-poned it until then (early April). Instead, I'm going to start Phase II of the "SFP," specifically by doing the following:
SUN: MIS (subbing Hip Hugger Abs) + Short Yoga
MON: Imax2 + Short Yoga
TUE: Christi Taylor's Hi Lo Heaven (30 min) + Power Yoga
WED: PH + Short Pilates
THU: Off or Short Pilates
FRI: BC
SAT: KPC + Short Yoga
I did MIS yesterday for the first time in almost 2 yrs. (It was my first Cathe tape.) I looked at the old work sheet I had used then and noticed I had used 10, 12 and 15 lb dumbbells for lower body. (I didn't have a barbell back then.) Yesterday, I used a 40 lb barbell and felt like I could go higher in some exercises. Upper body was a different story, however! I had to use the same weights for shoulders and triceps as I did two years ago! Oh well, maybe my Platemates will help me move up in those areas. Also, I can still only do bent-knee pushups, but at least I matched or exceeded Cathe's weights for chest, biceps and back.
I've been incrementally adding BC cardio to my cardio workouts. I might add 4 BC intervals to Imax2 today. If I'm not up for it (since doing shorter cardios in Phase I for 2 months, I haven't done Imax2 in its entirely in a while), I'll add it to Hi Lo Heaven tomorrow instead!
Hope you all enjoy your day!
