Hey all!
So, I'm on my 4th day of BFFM. You want to hear something wacky? I'm sweating more during my cardio. Do you think there's some kind of significance? I mean, I'm not the sweating kind...and yet there are sweat beads trickling down - it's absolutely wild! During active recovery I have to go close to the mirror to validate the sweat.
Did my Kathy kickbox. It'd been a while since I'd done it and I was surprised to find that I liked it and it gave me a good workout. Or maybe I just had some ultra good sleep last night LOL.
Michele - Well, the only step workout I have here right now is that darn BM. And I couldn't even stumble my way through it - I just become paralyzed with fear. I'll tell you how the BFFM goes. One thing for sure is that it's made me really, really conscious of following my meal plan. (Hmm, maybe that's why I've been so hungry LOL.) At the end of the week I'll take my body fat/weight measurements again and if I've lost muscle, I'll know that I need to up my calories. Of course, you would know that, being that you keep the book with you at all times LOL. Did you read any of it? The first chapter is very motivating - dust that sucker off and give it a read!
Jana - That must be awful for everyone involved, including (if not especially) your MIL, to constantly have panic attacks. I can't imagine going through a panic attack, let alone repeatedly. As annoying and frustrating as it is, keep in mind that she's really feeling those panic attacks, and though there might be nothing wrong with her (aside from a strong desire to be taken care of), she probably feels horrible and likely doesn't know how to stop them from happening (which probably just spurts on another attack). I've had friends who have become so wound up in work that they start having panic attacks. A couple of them even had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance. One of my friends' sons had a panic attack on the train, and now he can't bring himself to get on one for fear of having another one. All these guys having panic attacks in their 20s and 30s! Hey, I hope I'm not sounding preachy. Slap me if I am. Anyway, it might be a different way to look at the situation - have you thought about why she might be having those attacks? (A little more blabbing and then I'll be done - like I said, I got good sleep last night so I'm in a rambling mood!) As for your surgery - it'll be over soon! And you're going to feel soooooo much better after you did it!! Remember - it's just a handful of minutes for a better knee!!
I have PLB in my rotation next week. I'll tell you how it goes. Yeah, maybe I'm not used to the increase in carbs. Or maybe I used to snack more often than I thought I was! Anyway, STAND BACK - I've got my cheat meal comin' my way!
Kate - Yes, yes, I see your vision. This can work. Maybe we can do some different camera angles than the ones the Cathe staff usually use, to really put more focus on the DOOF part of the workouts. Yes, yes.
Dana - Oh no, won't be doing the KM blasts again for a while. For now I'm just going to click on my ol premix at the top and do the workout minus blasts. Glad to hear that you've been able to let the stress go about the daycare situation. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you find a profit. How weird - obviously you'd be hoping for a profit either way...
Diane - That's great that you got some sleep. By your post, you sound good. I'm glad. Ahhhh, in what kinds of devilish foods shall I partake? You know - here's the weird part - I'm sort of craving just more quantity of the good stuff I've been eating. Is that wacked or what? Me, the huge chocoholic! You'd think I'd be hankering for a huge piece of pecan pie with a chocolate bar on the side. Hmm. That actually doesn't sound bad. But really, I guess I'll just have some kind of dessert after dinner...it makes me kind of nervous to figure out how to spend my cheat money! LOL!
