Weigh in, zero loss, zero gain
Between a yummy dinner for date night and losing a day at the gym due to a terrible Spring cold, I am okay with a maintenance number at the scale this week. I am still striving towards losing those 3 pounds to get to another 50 pounds lost, though. It really comes down to figuring out how to lose the 3 pounds (and a few more) to get past this plateau I seem to struggling with. I have been pretty steadfast in my diet approach these days by not deviating from what got me here, but also not making any drastic cuts or changes. I have noticed that my appetite seems to be decreasing a little, which is interesting...could this actually be happening naturally without suffering through hunger in an attempt to reach the next level?
I have been enjoying switching up my workouts lately, though. I think group fitness classes are exactly what I needed to remain challenged while pushing past boredom on the elliptical and bike. A glimpse into my fitness routine this week--
Monday: The Mixx cardio class (kickboxing and athletic drills to music), 1 hour
Tuesday: 40 minutes on the elliptical, level 7, hills program, ~6 mph on the hills, ~7 mph on the flat intervals. 15 minutes on the bike, level 5, maintaining at least a .25 mile per minute pace
Wednesday: Strike! kickboxing class, 1 hour
Thursday: 40 minutes on the elliptical, level 7, hills program, ~6 mph on the hills, ~7 mph on the flat intervals. 15 minutes on the bike, level 5, maintaining at least a .25 mile per minute pace
Friday: Zumba class or 60 minute LSD (long slow distance) workout on the treadmill (3.5 mph, 4 incline)
Saturday and Sunday, days off
