What kind of weight lifting routine do you do?
Hey DJS, I used to drink coffee, but it was more for the cream and sugar.
But I really don't like coffee all that much. I add Trader Joes instant to my protein drink. A serving in the morning and then if I want it later, I use decaf. When I started IP, I went to green tea for the caffeine. I can drink that without any additives.
As to weight lifting. Well, I used to lift very heavily a long time ago, so it's kind of in my blood to do that. That being said, I have to see how this works with IP. I don't want to stall my weight loss, but I do want to increase my muscle and definition, so when I lose weight it will be there. I have a vision in my mind of what I used to be, that I hope I can get back too.
At this point, I'm doing a split routine that works each muscle group twice a week (weekends off, where I hope to do some basic yoga). I'm doing things like chest press, shoulder work, squats, etc. It's really light right now, but I can feel myself wanting to push myself again. So not sure how good that is, but we'll see.
I know Dana from Austin does the Slow Burn weight lifting that is supposed to be good for IP, so if you're interested, you might want to check that out.
Glad you're feeling better after the tough time at work!
