Sorry I haven't blogged in so long. Things are crazy here! I have 3 tests on Monday and I had 2 quizzes this week, so I'm pretty much mental at all times. The good thing is, I haven't missed one single work out despite my hectic schedule. Tonight is cardio and I am actually looking forward to it. I look forward to pushing to that new high point in the run. With BFL there is a certain system and way of doing things. For cardio, it's twenty minutes with intervals. You start off at a Level 5 of intensity, whatever that may be for you. For me, that's walking at a fast pace. From minutes 1-5 on the treadmill you work your way up from Level 5- Level 9 intensity. You maintain for 1 minute, then go back down to 5. It is this system of intervals for 20 minutes and you are done. DONE. That is all the cardio required for BFL. Fits in quite perfectly with my student schedule and wifely duties.
I have been kind of discouraged lately at the amount of pounds lost so far: 2. I keep reminding myself that weight loss does not happen over night and healthy weight loss is gradual. The good news about this though is that I have been building muscle so that counts right? I have the book "Champions of Body for Life" and it breaks it down week by week. Alexa Adair said that she had only lost 3 pounds when she started week 3 and she ended up losing 20 pounds total, so there is hope!
Thanks again for reading this and encouraging me. I appreciate it so much!
