Today is Day 23! :-) only 67 more to go!

Wow – I had a great back workout yesterday! I had so much energy when I got back home and ate; I did over 2 hours of cleaning! Laundry, folded clothes, cleaned the bathroom, etc. After all that, I was going to do 30 minutes of biking, but after 2 minutes on it, it started squeaking really LOUD! What an AWEFUL noise that was to my poor little ears! Well, no despair, I got TAEBO! I don’t consider it Cardio really, but it was better then doing nothing! Hopefully I’ll be able to get my husband to take a look at my bike tonight (he’s slow to fix stuff!), something is seriously wrong with it! Argggg! There’s NO way that I can tolerate that awful noise! I didn’t want to do my weights and cardio back-to-back, each sessions takes all my energy and I’d be soooooo exhausted by the time I’d get done with both, you’d have to carry me out of the gym! ALSO, I don’t want to take the risk of overtraining, I want to preserve my muscle mass. I drink my shake about 1 hour before I workout, eat again about ½ hour after, wait another hour and do my cardio. I generally try to get my cardio in at about 9:30 PM and then go to bed.

People are starting to see a difference at the gym; they say that I’m starting to be more defined. Yesterday while working out my back, a gentleman that has been casually talking to me since I started BFL back in the beginning of February commented on how I was starting to show signs of definition and muscle in my back! I was THRILLED! I’ve NEVER had anyone comment on my back before…my legs and arms always got the attention, but now my BACK!!! WAHOO! I guess my hard work is paying off!

I may soon need to add more cardio in my routine, or perhaps morning 2 mile walks, depends if I’ve hit a plateau or not, I have a feeling I have, won’t know for sure till Thursday!
