Really enjoying the CURVE eh?

What kind of stuff u doing for abs?

Its HARD! Since its self powered, you lose the comfort and ease of a treadmill moving below you. Here is some light reading on it lol...

http://www.woodway.com/casestudies/2...rve_Poster.pdf

"The CURVE treadmill burns up to 30% more calories than conventional motorized treadmills because the user is actually powering the running surface, thus engaging more muscle groups and achieving a superior workout. Research studies have proven that users are able to reach similar cardiovascular exercise levels and caloric burn walking on the CURVE treadmill in comparison to running on conventional motorized units."

That being said, Im just trying to mix up the cardio so I dont get bored. Ive got 12 weeks now of solid cutting (no more nutritional "off" days i.e. beating the binge). I want that single digit bodpod report by the end of April. I WILL have it.

That cakes looks too real to be fake. I need to buy a 6" springform now.

Cheesecake looks insane.... Your eats always look so good!

[IrishPilot]

Tastes great! Lighter in texture and density than the cottage cheese ones I made. Surprised at how much I can taste the Trutein flavor.

Had the second cheesecake last night, this time made with cottage cheese instead of the greek yogurt. HUGE improvement. Really suggest you guys try that recipe if you want a macro friendly cheesecake.

Ran out of time to do as much post cardio work as I wanted. No matter...my legs were gassed anyway.
Food pron from last night. Excuse the crummy pic quality from my EVO.

Quality sliced deli ham, browned in a skillet...then add eggs, scramble...then add a 50/50 mixture of cream cheese and cottage cheese = HUGE WIN.


Deli Thin Sandwich Bread with browned deli ham and laughing cow swiss


...and of course fresh HOPSLAM and Top Chef for dessert.

I know right? We have a 2.5 year old, and every time she gets something from daycare, I usually pick it up a few days later. Cycles through the winter...sucks. My wife seems to have gained the impenetrable immune system since our childs birth tho.

Right!! Well, at least it's good that your wife doesn't get sick. Almost everyone I know has been sick at least once this winter. I've been fortunate enough to avoid any illness.

Little taken off guard by the lack of energy on the 220 set. Decided to back off some on the dips volume, but upped the weight. Dropped a little weight on the TBars as well, but added a set and 2 additional reps to each set. Back to 4pps shortly. May go back for a run this afternoon if time permits (which this morning it really did not).

Strong chesticles! As for the energy - do you ever refeed?
