Pinki’s Journey

  …yea, I take my cardio very seriously! Usually I AM half-asleep when I get on the treadmill in the morning… so I thought the pic would fit the blog, even though it was taken over a year ago. This week was a little crazy, i got a lot leaner, but instead of feeling “cut” i’m starting to feel “skinny”, even though everyone is telling me I’m absolutely nuts. Got in touch with some of the photographers I used to work with, scheduled a few photoshoots for the coming months… can’t wait to get in front of the camera again!
TRAINING: Today was an off day, no weights, just a little ab work.

CARDIO: Ok… so I was SUPPOSED to do my 2 sessions of 45 and 30 minutes… which somehow turned into two sessions of 50 minutes each. I honestly don’t see the problem with doing more cardio than I’m supposed to… 20 min stairs, the rest treadmill 12.5 degree incline, 3.7mph… total of 1100 cals… or something to that effect
DIET: The lowered cals don’t feel too bad, I’m eating the same as I was before, minus the end of day freak-out over forgetting to eat some meal… so I guess that worked out in my favor. Still addicted to diet soda and jell-o… but I really don’t want sweets any more… now i want real food! Like cheese… lol.. or meat… or an extra egg here and there.

SUPPS: I found something really cool… in my supplement drawer, to be exact. Ephedra5 by Viridis Labs. I used to be an ephedra junkie back in the day and as I watched the Ironman this past February, an adverisement for this product kept popping up… it said it was the "only" fat burner with ephedra currently on the market (don’t know if it’s true or not)… so of course I bought it. The other day, as I crawled out of bed at 4:23AM, I realized that my Hydroxycut Hardcore had been misplaced (TRAGEDY!)… this was a chance for this no-name so-called-ephedra-containing-fat-burner to prove itself! I swear, I did an hour of cardio without looking at my watch a single time… a very brisk walk up a 15 degree incline… usually I can last 15 minutes at that intensity… so this was kinda crazy. I was bouncing off the walls until probably noon that day (even though I barely got any sleep the night before). THe next day the experience was not as intense (as expected), and today it was comparable to my Hydroxycut (which by the way is still missing in action!). I don’t know how effective this product would be long-term, but I can tell you, that for those days that you want to switch things up, this is JUST THE RIGHT PILL! Anyone else have any experience with this product?
