Workouts looking good!! So are you still calorie cycling??

Sort of...I have low calorie days and higher calorie days, w/o really planning it. It just makes it much easier to stick to the healthy eating this way.

GREAT job on the cardio! Intervals are sooo good! Just looking over your workouts and you're doing wonderfully I'm glad you're seeing changes... and you're right, it's best for things to move slowly!! Definitely the way you want it!

LMAO! I just edited it...I would've gone into cardiac arrest! I am seeing changes and I am so excited. Weight still isn't changing much, but BF went down another % and I've lost inches. I am also noticing reduction in cellulit...thank goodness!

Today is cardio day...I plan to do an hr.

My mom is leaving today for Italy for 4 months...this is part of what had me in a funk, along with several other things. I am stressed that she is leaving and will miss her. She is a huge support w/helping w/my daughter...so basically no break for me for 4 months. I don't have a steady babysitter at the moment.

If you would like to check out my nephew's leukemia web-site, it's in my signature. You can keep updated on his progress.

[vanillabn]

GREAT workout! I can tell that was intense from your avg HR! lol. Your one arm DB rows and flyes are really strong

Italy, wow... that will be an experience for her.. but I'm sorry to hear you won't have any support for 4 months I hope you're able to find a babysitter, because I can see how that could get exhausting.

It's not really an experience for her...that's where my parents are from. My mom's family is still there and she goes to visit them for a few months every couple years. We have apartments there, as well. My Nonna (grandma) is having eye surgery, so my mom is going there to care for her during her recovery.

You've got some amazing legs!! It must be all that great cardio

I was thinking about you and bf's situation the other day...you really are a great example of how long distance can really work!! When will you see each other again?

[erinlee01]

I noticed you and a few others doing the stair climber, so I decided to do it today. You all must have more stamina than I do! It kicked my butt!

We all go through rough spots in our relationships...long distance makes it that much tougher! I know that I get fed up with it at least once or twice a week...lol!

I hope you have a great weekend and I vote the zoo....

[IronCamp]

Hi everyone. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

I did cardio Friday, Saturday and Sunday....Saturday and Sunday went jogging w/daughter in the jogging stroller. We went to 2 different trails through the woods. She loved it. Then I let her play at the playground after. I think this is a good compromise for us, since mom is gone and I don't have anyone to watch my daughter while I go to the gym.

I am starting a new split today...3 day split w/lots of cardio:

Mon Back/Bis/Cardio
Tues Cardio
Wed Legs
Thurs Cardio
Fri Chest/Shoulders/Tris/Cardio
Sat Cardio
Sun Cardio

[amj0883]

How much cardio are you looking to do everyday??

I think thats a great comprimise and I think its great she enjoys the jogs - most kids would just want to stay inside and not enjoy the beautiful summer!!

I will do 20 to 30 minutes cardio on days that I do weights. On days that I don't, I will do 45 to 60 minutes.

Beautiful summer is a stretch for us in TX...it's way too HOT to consider it beautiful. If it wasn't for the lovely shaded paths through the woods, I would not be able to run/walk outside at at all...
