Well, my weekend of rest went pretty quickly. John and I are doing exercise 6 days a week now, which we were doing earlier this year. Today I did 45 minutes of biking:

5 min w/u
15 min HIIT (1 min hi/2 min lo, levels 7/4)
25 min steady-state level 5

It's been so long since I've done anything endurance-related; that 45 minutes was tougher than I thought it'd be. Felt good though.

I start stage 5 tomorrow - yay! I'm excited to get to stage 6. I was looking at it again tonight and it's a lot of my favorite exercises. While I like lower body workouts, I think I just enjoy working out my upper body more. I love my back feeling so strong, my shoulders feeling strong, my arms... I love that I can actually do 3 sets of 8 pushups on the floor now. It's only going to get better!

We started Precision Nutrition last week but it was more like a "ramp up" week since we didn't do any Post-Workout meals & stuck with Anytime instead.

Tonight, we did our first P-W meal and it was all I imagined.



Protein pancakes, baby. Except we forgot the protein powder, so we had small protein shakes with dinner. :P These babies were delicious. We also had a salad prior to the pancakes, but that wasn't worth noting.

So, so good.
