I've finished Stage 3 but I don't have a workout to post because I left my log at home. I tried to go up on everything and was exhausted afterwards, which is always rewarding in it's own twisted way. I've been sleeping really well because of Stage 3. This is my "rest" week and I'll start Stage 4 on Saturday. Here's how I'll probably spend my week:
Today: mountain bike ride
Tomorrow: rest
Wednesday: Spinning class
Thursday: rest
Friday: mountain bike ride or HIIT (depending on the weather)
Saturday: Stage 4
Sunday: depends on how Saturday goes!
I took body shots after finishing 3 and I was disappointed when I lined them up next to my pics from February. I really can't see changes in the photos at all even though I can tell I'm stronger and I can see the muscle in the mirror. My weight is still a couple of pounds up from when I started (started at 128, now at 130) and I'm pretty sure that's muscle. It better be! I do think I need to concentrate more on diet, as I tend to let sugar slip in uninvited more and more often. I love to eat though, so I need to come up with a happy medium. I'm never ever going to be happy eating cottage cheese mixed with chocolate protein powder and calling it dessert, is all I'm saying.
