The forum's back - YAY!!!!!!!!
I was in withdrawal, all shaky and pathetic
- Getting my fix now - WHEW!!
And I needed you guys so badly... the scale is being mean and I was really feeling down and needed a pep talk or smack or something... Seems like ever since Saturday night's unintentional refeed (so THAT's what I'm calling it now
) I haven't recovered on the scale. My lovely weight-loss chart isn't so pretty now. My total weight-loss is now barely 1# instead of the 3# it was before... AF is gone (for the month, at least) and you'd think the damn sodium would be gone. So WTF!?!?!? Eats have been ok - in fact pretty darn good (not perfect, but logged every bite and not bad). I'm trying to give it tomorrow to be down again (maybe that was just a TON of salt over the weekend?), but... crap. One bad meal shouldn't make THIS big a difference. Especially because it wasn't THAT bad a meal.
Yesterday - SS cardio for 25 min on stairmaster, HR 75-80%. Mediocre on the NEAT (too much work to do, but I'm doing it on a bouncy-ball instead of a chair). Was SO hungry last night, so took the pup on a 40 minute walk to try to avoid munching...
Today's workout: Stage 4 B4
Wide-grip DL from step -- 2x8 @ 145#, 1x8 @
155#

20# db's.
Ball crunch, reverse crunch, side flexion -- 2x10 each, supersetted.
Prone Cobra -- OOPS! I forgot 'em AGAIN
Karate later if I find the energy to go. It's hot out and I walked a little bit after my workout and got a bit of sun...

I think it's time for a lifting break week. Not gonna do any extra stage 4 workouts since I was only sick for one workout and I still did it... just been feeling sore and a bit tired. Plan is 1 week of no lifting and no HIIT. Just some SS and of course karate class. Maybe even an extra rest day or 2 or 3... I'll pick up the lifting again either Weds or Fri of next week. I'll start stage 5, but if I hate it I reserve the right to not finish it.
Food today has been good. Planned better, have 430 kcal left for the evening...
SO glad that the forum is back!!!!!!!!!!
