I walked another 2 miles in the office during the day, and then after work I rode 6 miles in 20 minutes of HIIT biking, then went straight into the 3-mile WATP workout with the 3-lb weights, and THEN did upper body weights -- lifting as heavy and to failure. I'm pretty exhausted, but damned if I'm not feeling pretty great about today!
Jeez, talk about self-absorbed -- I completely forgot to say "Yay!" and "Go, girl!" to Heather, and Jennifer, don't you worry your pretty little face about that temporary muscular pushback. Seriously, sometimes the body simply has a legitimate need to REST when it has been worked very hard and consistently, as yours has. Give yourself a break, sweetie, you'll get your mojo back before you know it.
Just poppin' my head in to say how amazing you're all doing! YAY YOU GUYS!
I'm really focused on getting my eating habits under control right now.. but still getting in the occasional exercise.. That's my next plan of attack.. focusing on the regular working out.. So, I'll be in this thread soon with you gals!
Ms. Sarah - You're doing brilliant! Just Brilliant! You amaze me... you truly do!
Whoa, Sarah -- you kicked some major a** last night! (And thanks for the encouraging words... I'm a little discouraged overall right now but am sure it will pass, as it always does!) Doesn't it feel great after those UBWOs when everything is all tight? In fact, I looooove being sore the next day -- I can't keep my hands off my muscles!
Celina, can't wait to see you in this thread. It really helps keep me on track to know I'm going to have to account to this group of talented, sexxay ladies.
Gym this morning... did 60 minutes on the cross-trainer, with the most intense intervals I've ever done. I'm exhausted, and it feels great (850 cals later!!!!!).
Truth to tell, that's the first time I've *ever* done an hour. Overall, it wasn't so bad (butt-kicking but in a pleasant way), but my feet were almost completely asleep by the end!
Gawd, Jennifer......you're a beast! And Dana -- I just LOVE it when you go to the gym!! It just makes everything in my world A-OK.....
I did the 6-mile-in-20 minutes interval biking thing, followed by the 2-mile WATP with 3 lb. Ironhands. (I love those things! If I could type with them on, I'd be tempted to wear them to work!)
I had the bright idea about doing the walking routine while watching Oprah this afternoon. If thinking about it burned calories, I'd have burned a lot. I plan to try that, though. I know the steps, and it's certainly better for me than lying on the couch watching the TV for an hour in the afternoon.
