157.0 This Morning
Well my goodness! I think I might actually be out of the 160's for good. Was 157.0 or 158.0 (can't remember which) at bedtime last night and then 157.0 upon waking this morning. I can't believe it folks but I may just have kissed the 160's goodbye for good. Woo Hoo ![]()
And...I hate to tell you this but I've changed up my routine yet again. My personal trainer and I had a chat at the gym last night and she was telling me that she actually does less reps (7) with heavier weights when she works out. She thinks it might be a good idea if my workout partner and I do the same. And....just because she's evil she wants us to stick to doing the cardio EVERY day. That's my least favorite part, but oh well...it's what's burning the fat baby. 
So, to recap, I'm back to doing my walk to jog every day and I'm upping my weights and lowering my reps (won't take as long which is nice). Looks like I won't be getting a full day off either, since I want to be able to hit upper and lower twice each week. Here's where we're at:
Monday: Walk|Jog Intervals 40 mins. Upper Body 30 mins.
Tuesday: Walk|Jog Intervals 40 mins Walk w/ Inclide 20 mins
Wednesday: Walk|Jog Intervals 40 mins Lower Body & Abs 30 mins.
Thursday: Walk|Jog Intervals 40 mins Walk w/ Incline 20 mins
Friday: Walk|Jog Intervals 40 mins Upper Body 30 mins
Saturday: Walk|Jog Intervals 40 mins Walk w/ Incline 20 mins
Sunday: Walk|Jog Intervals 40 mins Lower Body & Abs 30 mins
For this week the Walk to Jog is set at 4 mins walking to 3 minutes jogging and I'm doing 5 intervals for a total time of 40 minutes. Next week, I believe it goes up to 4 mins walking to 4 mins jogging and perhaps another interval. Can't remember exactly because it's not right in front of me, but something like that.
We're still working on getting the weights right at this new lower rep count, but I feel like I've really worked out by the time we're done. And, I actually love that feeling the next day where you're a little bit achy and just KNOW that you're building muscle.
Gotta run!
