How did I lose four more pounds??!!  I have been eating a TON, and not all of it so healthy lol, so I figured I would be gaining weight, but yesterday the scale said that I have lost 4 more pounds somehow!  I think it is my cardio.  I have been doing an hour every morning when I wake up, and going pretty intense.  I usually burn around 1000 calories in my one hour, which is probably too high of intensity, and I’m probably burning off some muscle at that rate.  I think I am gonna try to slow it down a notch and burn maybe 500-700 calories in my hour and see if that helps me preserve some more muscle but still burn fat.  I have been eating a lot so that I can gain muscle while still trying to tone down my stubborn belly, but if I’m losing weight and my stomach still looks like crap, then I must be losing the weight in my muscles and that is not what I want!!!

Aside from that tho, my workouts have been great!  I have been trying to add in new exercises for every bodypart and push myself as hard as possible!  I feel great, so I think I just need to be patient and keep working hard and everything will come along.

This week was Hot August Nights here in Reno, and I have to admit, it was a LOT of fun!!!  It’s something that I will look forward to now every August, and even if I don’t live in Reno anymore, I will come back for it because it is just an incredible spectacle to see and be a part of.  The Best of the West Rib Cook Off is in two weeks, so I’m sure that weekend will fatten me up plenty lol.  Ok, I’m off to the gym!
