So yesterday was another IF experiment. It went pretty well, though it was harder than I remembered the first one being. Probably because I expected the first one to totally suck donkey balls. When it didn't, I may have inflated my expectations for this time. Expectations have been set firmly to SUCK for next week even though it's really not that bad.
(I have to say it is a little bit fun. A mini-challenge.)
Usually on days I lift, I get up at 5:30am and run - do HIIT and steady state. Then I lift in the afternoon. This morning I let myself sleep in because I haven't gotten a decent night of sleep all week (I fall asleep fine and then wake up around 4am, never to fall back to sleep) but today I slept right through until 7am. HIIT will still be there tomorrow.

I am wearing pants to work today that had become tight before. They still aren't where they used to be, but at least I can wear them. I'm trying to figure out about how much more weight to lose. Back in the day (i.e., before I started lifting in January and eating everything I could get my hands on because I was starving all the time), I weighed between 130-134, rarely fluctuating beyond that. I know that I've put on some muscle, because I've gotten stronger in my workouts, so the old 130-134 isn't the same as it would be now and I don't feel the need to get back down there, if my clothes fit. I think I'll reassess how shit is fitting when I hit 135.
