Graduation
My graduation is on Saturday! How exciting! I am going to walk because it’d be a shame not to. I mean, come on, I’ve put in 4 years of hard work…I want some pictures of me in a cap and gown walking across the stage. I don’t understand why people pass up on that experience!
Our semester grades were posted today. Get this: I got a 4.0 GPA this semester!! I am thrilled! I usually get A’s and B’s, but I finally managed to get all A’s at once. Talk about finishing college with a bang! I’m very proud of myself.
Workouts have been good lately. I’ve noticed I’m a bit more tired than usual though while doing cardio. I think it’s because I’ve been working the opening shift at work now that school is done (I have to wake up at 4:45 am!). I need to go to bed a bit earlier so I can get closer to 8 hours of sleep in per night.
So I bought the book Body for Life. I’ve always heard about it…so I finally decided that I should look into it. I did the upper body workout from the book yesterday, and I was SO SORE! I think that it’s going to help me kick it up a notch. What I don’t like about the book is the lack of cardio. Doing 20 minutes of HIIT cardio 3 days a week is hardly anything compared to what I’m used to doing. I’m afraid that if I cut back to that then I will not see progress…. Any advice? I typically do 60 minutes of cardio 6 days per week now. I usually do intervals, but not quite HIIT. I did HIIT yesterday after lifting heavy, and BOY WAS IT HARD! I guess my biggest concern is…should I cut back on my cardio? I’m afraid that I won’t lose as much fat if I cut back!
The weather is finally becoming summer-like. My sis and I spent some time on the sun deck at our apartment pool yesterday. I’m so glad that summer is almost here!!
