Your workouts are looking great. Good call on cutting out cardio on the busy day. I have a problem with not doing things like that, not listening to my body.

Sometimes my body has to really scream before i listen, then its 3 or 4 days of forced rest

Keep it up.

OneBreath- Fortunately, I'm very good at listening to my body. If I'm tired, if my macors are too high/low, etc. Somehow I instantly feel when I need to shift. However, I'm always too busy.

Going by your avatar, you seem to be doing great!! You look amazing!


Today 106.8lbs.

Abs/calves and 30 minutes jumping rope. Damn, this is tough! Not complaining, just expressing how I feel with my new adventure in jumping..

I think women are much better at this.

I do the same thing and go with things that I crave, but I crave things like brazil nuts, beet root, red lentils, green leafy stuff, raw foods at times, baked apples, blueberries, spinach...........................................

Thanks for the compliment. I'm trying the same pose in my avatar every 3 or 4 weeks for good comparisons. I've never done before and after photos so this is a really cool new experience for me.

Keep pushing through that rope jumping. Your body (mainly calves) will adapt after about 2 weeks. It it so brutal at first as you know.

And Tatyana you crack me up, you actually crave "green leafy stuff".

You should take before and after. You'll be blown away when you see your progress week after week, b/c otherwise we don't really notice a great change.

Yes, my calves are throbbing and I feel the workout in my whole body.
I did 30 minutes today and my heart rate was like 160. Shoot, I couldn't believe it.

Tatyana- you actually crave green leafy things? I crave oatmeal, which is one of my favorite foods...and my protein drinks. However, they taste like dessert.

 

[Tatyana]

Yes, I crave salad things.

England is great for selling greens in the supermarkets, there are quite a few 'traditional' veggies that are just awesome for healthy and BBing food, like spring greens, curly kale............

Another awesome veggie that isn't eaten all that much in the US is swede, or rutubaga??, it tastes SO sweet, but it is very low carb/high fibre and is great substitute for mashed potatoes when dieting.

I'd love to have some swede/Rutubaga!! We don't have that, but it sounds delicious. I love sweets! The idea of eating something very sweet that's good for me is very appealing..
