I'm a little insane lately. Really crazy motivated (ah love) Anyway - I don't do any dairy at all, as I'm getting ready to enter competitive cycling and I don't want to get goopy. uh...you know... the dairy/mucous thing. I know, not nice. Anyway - I am totally built up (from doing resistance 3 days a week for almost two years) so I have actually stopped doing all but the slightest weight lifting (I have 20 minutes of strength training in the class I teach at the gym and thats all I do in a week now) and I don't do any extra protein any more. If I lose a little muscle, it won't hurt the way I look. So I am all cardio. Run, arc, bike, eliptical and rowing machines. I also just ran outside for the first time, but it has been below 30 degrees since then, so I'm staying inside!!
It does take me at least 90 minutes to burn that many calories - sometimes longer, and I'm working my butt off in there, let me tell you. But I am just so sick of farting around with this weight. I got to a certain point, and it just got much harder and I faltered for a while. Now - I know what to do and I'm doing it. I just hope it works!
So don't feel like a slacker - I live here, you know? Thank goodness I have found a few friends that are as into working out as I am, and they keep me going. The point is that you are always pushing your limits, always getting better, stronger, more fit etc. That is the point, right?
