April 29th - Back to Tracking



Today was great! I got up and did my workout DESPITE not getting that much sleep. If I'm going to go out and drink I need to get up and workout.

I was really busy with work so I didn't have much time to think about food. You wouldn't believe how much work this swine flu is causing me. I've had tons of emails about it and I had to check up on everyone to make sure they haven't gotten sick. Plus I'm starting a new show while finishing an old show WHILE trying to enjoy my last days in Mexico.

I've been trying to mix up my strength routines. I just hate doing them and they never get my heart rate up. So today I did supersets and between them I did 5 minutes of cardio. It was great. Not boring at all. I've stopped doing 'New Rules of Lifting for Women'. I know people love it and at first I thought I did too but I just don't think I'm burning enough calories or gaining muscle. Plus the rest time between sets just killed me. TWO minutes of doing nothing! I stopped about 6 weeks ago. Since then I've been doing the workouts in Tom Venuto's new book ' The Body Fat Solution'. They are supersets and a little different than NRLFW. His new book is really good and I'm working on writing something up about it. Stay tuned!

I recently bought a food scale at Walmart. It's a big ugly green scale that is not electronic but I figure it's better than nothing. And better late than never. I have definitely been over estimating my food.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I felt the same way about the lack of calorie burn in NROLFW. Looks like you had an awesome day yesterday food-wise! Way to go!
