Workout...
Cardio
1 hour of body combat, kind of like kickboxing...

I'm feeling alot better about things, feeling like i'm starting to actually see some more differences!:)
 
Hi babe, since you are kicking butt in your exercise, I just wanna drop a thought about calorie intake. I don't know how much you are taking in now in average, but what Stingo mentioned about your intake might not be enough, I know a couple other people who experienced the same thing. Sometimes it takes more food to drop the fat ;)

No worries - just teasing ya. I do think you could stand to add a few calories to your diet. And if you're having trouble finding ideas about what to make, try a site like recipezaar for inspiration.

Dang Tor you're doing great! I also just re read your entire journal so far and your weight lifting is strong! The weight your lifting is substantial! Maybe with all your great running you should look to do a race as a future goal? :D

No motivation today! oh well....
 
Well I had decided on Wednesday to take the rest of the week off from diet and exercise... I thought maybe if I just fed my body more it would shock it come monday, not sure if that will work, but I think it is something my body needed! I still went to the gym on saturday did legs and ran some... but just because I was bored.... plus I love going to the gym on saturdays, not as busy!

I also got some really good news... I found out a year ago that I have really high cholesterol! I got it recheck 6 months ago and it didn't go down at all... I just got it rechecked and got the results on Friday... it went down 30 points!!! I work for my doctor, which is helpful but she said that if it didn't go down this time I was going straight onto meds! So with it going down... no meds! I'm so happy about that! It also gave me a much needed second wind to dieting and working out... I was really getting frustrated as everyone knows, and was ready to give up. At least if i'm not seeing the results on the scale or with inches, I know it is making me healthier... I needed to see SOME kind of results!!! So back at it with a new attitude tomorrow...
 
Just got caught up and read all of your posts. You are doing awesome. Ditto what others have said about the food. It really makes a difference. When I listened I lost weight lol. As for the cholesterol that is a huge accomplishments, congratulations. It should come down even more if you keep this up ;-) how is the HDL/LDL ratio?
 
Thanks guys! I am so happy about the no meds... I'm not sure what my ratio is... I have to ask my doctor again... she just showed me my labs really quick, then she took them back to add on checking my thyroid... so I'll let you know.
