Strong. Like Ox.

I finished my workout week pretty well for a rookie. Four workouts this week - I ended up canceling Thursday because I was so fatigued from the previous three days. That ended up being a good idea and I felt good and strong at this morning's interval workout.

I really need to get my cardio up, though. Today my average heart rate was 144, which was pretty good. But if I don't tell the trainer I really need to keep the heart rate up, I can finish with an average heart rate of 121 and a puny calorie burn. Not so great on the fat-burning but at least I'm still building muscle.

Which may be why I weighed 207.8 this morning. I am not freaking out about this, though. Do you see how calm I am? So not freaking out.

I'm going to keep plugging away. Wish me luck.

  1. I. Am. So. Impressed. 4 workouts this week?!?!? And a month ago, how many workouts were you doing a week? Exactly. You are phenomenal!

    See this boat you are in? I'm in it with you. Since I've really upped the workouts I'm not losing at all. But I will keep fighting like Marky-Mark.
