I did go to the gym yesterday, did my usual 30 minutes. Ate well, of course, and for once, made my calorie, fat, protein, and carbohydrate goals. Woohoo! Go me! I am getting a little nervous, though. As you know, my weigh in is in 2 days, and I have yet to show any weight loss for this week. In fact, if anything, I have weight gain. I'm hoping that that would be muscle gain, though, as I really am starting to see muscle definition in my arms and my back. My biceps and triceps were actually both nice and firm today when I checked them. I am happy about that. But anyway, so I've decided to step up my exercise, and yet a little more, so that I make sure that I within my calories everyday so I don't send my body into starvation mode so that it holds onto the weight. This is going to be tough. Anymore I just find it kind of hard to eat that much, and it really isn't a lot. Although, I did finally have a smoothie again, so maybe that will help (haven't had one in about a week), and I'll probably try to down a glass of real milk a day, to boost my calories and dairy consumption. On the exercise part, I need to mix things up, basically been doing the same thing for about 6 weeks. So, this morning I did some 30DS, yesterday I bought an exercise ball and some resistance bands, which I've been using some today (actually on the ball right now), and hopefully this will help shake up my routine. I want to start doing 30DS everyday, in addition to my cardio I normally do (still have to hit the gym today), and then at the end of the 30 days, I would like to graduate up and do p90x. If i tried that right now, I'm pretty sure I would die. Even in better shape than I was when I first tried 30DS, it still kicked my butt this morning. So that's my new plan. Cardio 6x/week, 30DS for the next month, followed by p90x. We'll see how this goes. Besides, people have astounding results with p90x, and I want to share in that. Google some before and afters, it's crazy.
