Psyched!
Today, I’ve hit a new personal low. Bodyweight, that is. After weeks of staggering through my routine, I think I’ve finally found a solution that really works for me. Pure cardio. Well, at least 80%, b/c I don’t wanna loose any valuable muscle tissues that will potentially burn off body fat. Also, I succumbed to my Dr.’s wishes, and began taking blood-pressure meds. My stroke from two years ago still lingers in my mind and, well, I don’t want to go through that again!!! I assured him though, that the blood-pressure meds would only have to be necessary for the interim, as I fully intend to be med-free by getting into better shape. I just had no idea how much better I would feel by taking the meds, and how MUCH it would positively impact my workouts! This week, I’ve been arriving at the gym at 5:00AM, and spending a full hour on the elliptical at full tilt, and at 75% resistance. I will not allow myself to step off that machine until I’ve burned (according to it’s calorie counter) 1000 calories. Then, I will trade-off days of either doing light weights, or even more cardio on either the treadmill or stationary (upright) bike… with a minimum of 30 more minutes on them. (Let me say that I easily go through my 1 litre water bottle every morning).
There is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment after finding a routine that works for yourself!!!!!!!
