Started strong again today! I was up at 0345 and down in the basement by 0400. I was feeling a little sick today and Jess and Maddie have been having little colds for a while now. I hope I don't catch something bad and have to take a few days off!!
The break this weekend was really nice. I got to have two nice dinners with both sides of the family and just relax and not worry about the diet for a little bit. I did gain a couple pounds, but it wasn't a real issue and I'm pretty sure it won't hurt my overall progress one bit - the body does need to rest and rebuild itself every month!
I think this weekend cemented things in place and will energize me to tackle the next 3 months with a renewed vigor! I have changed things up a bit from how I was doing them the last month. The diet will remain the same, but for the sculpting routine, I will be bringing it a lot more than before. Instead of keeping the weight the same for every single exercise in the workout, I am going to change them to make sure that I am not being too easy on myself.
I stayed at the same 10 pounds I was at last time, but recorded the number of reps I did for each workout. I am not going to post these values on the blog, but I am keeping track of them. If any rep counts exceed the 15 reps (all exercises post an 8-15 rep goal), then I will up the weight on that exercise. So far, I have to up the weight on all of them!! I will move up to 15 pounds next time (Thursday) and see what happens. Hopefully this will increase my strength more rapidly - I have to prepare for "The X!".
