Week 4, day 2 of the BFL Challenge
I’m 1/3 the way through. Been eating clean and my cravings for junk have subsided. Don’t get me wrong, I still long for a tiny taste when I see dark chocolate or a big ol’ chocolate chip muffin or even a slice of double chocolate cake. But I can talk myself away from them a lot easier now then before.
Still no noticeable changes (at least to me) in my body. I called EAS and complained that I hadn’t seen any changes and he said that it may be too early for me because I don’t have a lot to lose compared to others and I will most likely start seeing results around week 6 or 7. I told them what I was eating and he said that I’m doing everything right on that end. He mentioned CLA but said that I could wait to use that for a little to see if something doesn’t happen in the next couple weeks. I decided to start CLA yesterday. My only problem is remembering to take the darn thing! I took one in the am and forgot the others. Today at least I got 2 doses in. Hopefully I will remember to take one at dinner.
Today was a cardio day. Did the treadmill. I picked up my intensity. With Body for Life you do 4 intervals in 20 minutes. I’ve brought my "slower" pace up to 5 mph (previously 4 mph) and my high to 8.5 mph (previously 
. I’ll keep increasing the speed every time I get on. Feel good running. Someone even said that I had a nice stride! I’ll take any compliment 
It’s amazing what good music can do when you’re doing cardio. It makes it so much easier!
Tomorrow is upper body. Have to figure out what I will do. I need to pick up the intensity on my weights as well. It’s tough when you don’t have a spot all the time, but I guess I can just do everything slower and still get a good workout. (I did have a workout buddy that was doing the BFL challenge too but she dropped out due to her crazy schedule)
That’s it for now. Have a happy day.
