15 Weeks Out: December 30, 2012
140 lbs; 16.78% body fat; 7AM (body fat really jumped down from 18.44% last week!)
Calorie intake:previous day was 2600 and a small refeed two nights back, landing my calories at 3200 for that day (You gotta eat {well} to grow muscle!)
Cardio: 1 day on the tread (see below!)
Lifting:Lifted all body parts this week, daily except Christmas. Body is soooooore!
Small changes….I’m {trying to be} patient! I always see more muscle on me in person than what I picture…isn’t it funny how we see ourselves?! After looking at these, I am reminded how crucial it is to practice my posing and to flex when being photographed. It’s not about just standing there and getting a picture taken. It’s about being intentional with every body part and positioning. NOT easy!
This week I got the ok from my trainer to start in on cardio! I have not done any since before my surgery over 8 weeks ago. My body fat dropped by nearly 2% from last week and she’s giving me the slow go ahead to get the heart rate up! I did a short, yet intense, 20 minutes power walking at a level 10 incline and a speed of 3.3 mph….no hands holding the side! It felt GREAT to get the heart pumping again!
Today’s meals were super filling, helping me hit my 2500 calories a day. I veggie up and it keeps me full and filled with energy! Today at Subway I ordered two egg whites and had all the fresh veggies, never the processed ones. Veggie up!
