Good morning, Violets! Brrr! It is cold in Texas again. I woke up around 3:00 a.m. because I was shivering! I am so glad it is Friday so I can look forward to a cozy weekend at home.
As a word of warning, it is not a good idea to return to the Slow and Heavy Series and lift as heavy as you can after months of nothing but cardio and lighter weight workouts. Mercy! My shoulders were sore for a good 48 hours. My triceps and biceps are sore this morning after Slow and Heavy Triceps and Biceps yesterday morning. I jogged on my rebounder to warm-up yesterday morning. I am really enjoying weight training more when I do 20-30 minutes of cardio first as an extended warm-up.
I am feeling peaceful and free of stress during this holiday season. It is amazing. I am back on track with packing meals and snacks again, and I feel great. I have no desire for additional food. Planning a week of menus in advance makes eating clean so much easier. It frees my mind from thinking about food on a daily basis. I just eat what I planned to eat. It only takes a few minutes every night to pack everything for the next day. I am keeping my choices simple, so there is not a lot of preparation. My pastor’s sermon series on winning the battle in the mind is really helping. I am also listening to my Healthy Self-Talk CD every day. I am completely satisfied with my meals and snacks, and I have abundant energy. Glory!
All the sugar from my Thanksgiving celebration is out of my system, and I am simply amazed at how sweet green beans taste! I cleaned up my eating a little more this week by choosing organic low fat cottage cheese. I really cannot taste the difference, so I will stick with it.
Friday is fun cardio day, and I am looking forward to experiencing the Body Max 2 cardio blast premix for the first time this morning! :7
Hey, do y’all know what happens to Shrinky Dinks when they shrink? They end up being a third smaller and 9 times thicker!
I would love to jump into an oven and come out a third smaller, but I am not sure about the thicker part. ;-) I definitely do not want to be shorter and fatter. Smaller and firmer would be great though. :7 LOL! Wendy and Maeghan, are you old enough to remember Shrinky Dinks?
I have a serious question. I already have and love Gym Style Legs. I alternate it with the Muscle Max upper body premix. Are the other Gym Style workouts must haves? I am currently enjoying my Slow and Heavy Series rotation, but I want to rotate with another series after a few weeks. I have and love the Pyramids too. Do I need the Gym Style upper body workouts, or would I get the same benefits from doing the Muscle Max upper body premix twice a week instead of the each of the Gym Styles once a week? What is the difference in these workouts? Which do you prefer and why? I am thinking of adding these to my calendar order when it is available for sale next week.
Blessings,
Heather B.
