Wow, am I sore! I didn’t realize how many muscles I have NOT been utilizing during my cardio workouts. I did a strength/cardio 70 min workout Monday and am still hearing my muscles crying out!
Despite that great work-out, I am going to fall short of my 5 work-outs this week. I will more than likely get to 4…. Life happened and I didn’t have my back up plan ready. I should know better by now!!!!
I met with Kelly, my trainer, on Tuesday. In the past month I have lowered my BMI and body fat percentage by 1%. Are you kidding??? Only 1 stinking percent !?!?!?!?!? What the heck! What have I been working on then?????
Kelly saw my disappointment and tried reassuring me. She tells me I am doing the right thing and building muscle, which she stressed weighs more than fat. I’m not so convinced and feel I am not doing all that well. Bummer. A huge let down for me. I was so depressed with that I wanted to down a chocolate cake. I didn’t though.
Onward and upward from that episode, I know I need to keep working hard. I am in the midst of revising my short-term goals. The goal I have in mind is losing 15 pounds this month. Maybe a bit much but if I change it to 10 pounds it seems to wimpy to me. I know and feel if I can stick to my plan of workouts and stay within my calorie range, this goal is do-able. I hope anyway.
I will be sure to keep you all posted. I am heading for a workout tonight– all cardiac. My muscles still need some rest. Not to worry though, I will do strength again tomorrow. Have a good evening everyone and be sure to drink your water!
