So yesterday was the first time since the end of my challenge(3/7/08) that I got my body fat measured.  Surprisingly I was down 1.09% even after taking 3 weeks off for recovery….  That is soooo awesome, I finally feel like myself again by being able to work out and eat right and lose:)  So I have complete confidence in my goal to lose 5lbs by the time I go to Chicago next month…  My legs have been killin me since my workout on Tuesday which is good but yesterday I did back, biceps, and abs and yeah nothin so more ab work next time for sure.  Today will be the arc trainer for 35 mins….

Food has been great, calories have been avg 1500 and ratio’s have been pretty good as well.  I am down 1lb for the week so that is where I want to be.  Have a great weekend! 

Yep I am so sore from Sunday’s workout, it is friggen awesome:)  So instead of doing pull today I tried to do legs.  And I do mean tried after my 2nd set of squats my hams started to cramp up something serious only got out 1 set of lunges and 3 sissy sets of deadlifts.  So I got on the tread kicked up the incline and walked for a good 20 minutes.  I also walked 20 mins at lunch today so a good 40 mins of low intensity cardio today:)  It feels so good to get back into it and to feel some pain is great!  I need to keep it up cuz I want to be 150 by June 12 for my trip to Chicago woo hoo…..

Food has been good even tho others are trying to sabotage me!  Chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies and ice cream but I am on a mission.  I am really liking the Nutrimirror website to track my food and exercise even tho the exercise portion doesn’t even come close to what it should for someone lifting weights.  But for people just trying to start it is great!  And it balances out your calories including your workouts so you have a better idea of what you should be eating compared to what you are burning.

Ok so today was my first day back to being able to lift.  I should have started a little lighter on the weight because I had a hard time washing my hair in the shower lol:)  I hope to be super sore tomorrow!….   I have never had 3 weeks off before so this should be interesting.  I am switching my workouts to a 3 day split and it will be push/pull/legs and 3 days of cardio.  Today was push and I did chest/shoulders/triceps… 3 sets of 12.

Food was fairly healthy and I found this new site called Nutrimirror for tracking everything. It is actually pretty cool and I think I am going to like it better than fitday.  Low on protein today but tomorrow will be back on track.
