Nothing Much

I'm not sure where I'm going with this today. But first, thanks to my faithful readers/commenters. I appreciate the well-wishes and the compliments. :) Lol to Kristen. Although everyone can't have a gf, anyone can have a weight loss buddy. ;) Or a cyber-weight loss buddy. I think there are even web sites that try to hook up people who are trying to lose weight/exercise together. But I am fortunate that my gf is also my weight loss buddy. She's pretty good at helping me stay on track, and also sharing stuff that she's learned with me. Although I've heard of creatine and BCAAs, the truth of the matter is I probably wouldn't be taking all that stuff without her, and it helps.

Today was a workout day, and it was pretty intense, but good. My 22-minute cardio routine intimidates me every time. But I have to say that when I first started this section of Afterburn 3 weeks ago, I had to pause at least 2 times, and now I don't have to pause at all. Woo hoo! Sunday begins Week 9, and I will switch my cardio machine, and add an extra round of cardio, taking my total cardio time to 25 minutes. That's gonna be a blast. Not. But it is good to know that I can have an effective weight/cardio routine in 90 minutes and see results. I'm starting grad school in September, which is why I want to be finished losing weight, and I definitely want to find a workout regimen that will allow me to maintain my new weight and define my body. Lacy said she wants to see picture of my 6-pack. Let me tell you, if I ever have a six-pack, everybody will see it! I actually want to get my belly button pierced if my stomach gets flat enough. But that is one of those things that only looks good on a flat belly, in my opinion. The tattoo I plan to get is also contingent upon flatness in the abdominal area. Maybe that will motivate me to continue to resist the talking cupcakes and brownies. Brownies and cupcakes and cookies, oh my!
