Hi E1,
I'm back. I went into lurkdom a few weeks ago because after reading some responses to my log, I started feeling overwhelmed, and I wanted to take a step back because I know me, and I would've got discouraged real QUICK.
Anyway I fully intended on staying in lurkdom mode, and just still absorb as much as I can and sort out to the best of my ability. However, I realize that's not fair, so here I am.
Well, Shadow had suggested that I get a new exercise/workout scheme, and I sat back and thought about it really hard. I waited a few days but never got any follow up response, and I came to the conclusion that some of you may confused about my lunch hour aerobics classes.
I know it may appear that I'm over working certain muscle groups, but I really don't feel I am. My cardio classes does involve strength training, and we do typical lifting exercises like standing presses, and upright rows, and curls, BUT it's with a 9lb body bar. I feel that's a warm up at most, which is why when I go home at night, if it's my day to work chest or whatever, I will still to do it. The 9 lb body bar is a JOKE to me at this point. So, don't worry people I'm not overtraining. When I feel tired I REST, and it helps alot. Although I usually feel tired when my son is being more than a Handful.
Ok now to the good stuff. I've lost more weight. I'm not really sure how much because my scale has been acting bonkers. From start I was wearing a size 20 jeans, I can fit a 16. I can also fit a size large pant, as opposed to the 2X I used to wear. On tops, I'm up to a Xl as opposed to the 2X I used to wear. It depends how the garment is constructed.
I've still been eating right, and exercising. I finally got my bb set and I've been doing some of the Body for life exercises in a 2 day split. Pyramid sets. I did realize I needed to cut the sets down though, so I"m doing like 3 sets of 5 exercises for upper body, and 3 sets of of 4 exercises for lower body. I'm noticing much better definition in my back. I still have a ton of fat, but the definition is definitly there.
It's getting warmer, so I'm spending more time outside, just moving, as my main goal was to cut fat, and I'm still accomplishing that.
With that said, I'm out, and I'll start posting to my log right away. Thanks for inquiring about me, and coaxing me out of lurkdom. I still believe this board has some of the most friendliest, knowlegeable people I've come across in a long time.
