No movement this week and the "stats" tell the story. I wrote stuff down but didn't aggressively tally up the points as I went along. In fact by the end of the week, I was making some pretty random choices. I forgot how "a little here" and "a little there" can really add up!
Lift: 2 cardio workouts. YES -6.
Move: 2 strength workouts. YES -3.
Drink: 32 oz/day of water. NO -2 days.
Eat: 1 free meal + 35 points. NO -1 free meal + 64 points.
Stop: Eat before 8 pm every day. NO -3 days.
Sleep: Go to bed by 10:30 PM [NEW]
Good Effort!!! I admire your emotional balance and straight forward goals.
ReplyDeleteI see that rocking those workouts. Can you tell what your heart rate is when you're working out? For cardio do you usually stay between 70-85% of your max?
Thanks! Yup, I think I'm in that range. 135-150. I've been doing the same intervals for a while though. I'll take it up a notch and see what my heart rate does...
ReplyDeleteAre you into spinning?
ReplyDeletelol. i had to escort myself out (5 minutes into the class) the last time i tried it. might be worth another shot though :-)
ReplyDeletei just did my interval routine on the elliptical but bumped everything up a notch. was sweating much more than usual. hope that's a good sign!
LOL! Oh gosh - spinning can certainly do it. It also surprises me how little changes can make stuff so much harder. I didn't even know that the incline on the treadmill went up to 15!!! Today the trainer had me at 10 I thought I was going to pass. I had been trash talking earlier. Learned my lesson on that one. I told that I would fake heaving breathing but she said she is just looking at my heart rate. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe other thing I SWEAR my polar heart rate monitor (w/ heart strap). I recommend the investment to everyone when you can. I like the F11 then F6. It's a heft tag F11 is $159 and the F6 is 106 i think. My perception is usually off when it comes to effort. LOL!
