Staying strong.....

So, first week of September almost done......holiday weekend this past weekend, was NOT good on the eating plan, but this week has been AWESOME work out wise so far.  Staying with it, putting in my time and apparently it's paying off.  Have peeps noticing my effors, and that's always a positive boost to keep on keeping on ya know?  Must be doing something right hearing that, and that my clothes are looser this week etc.  Not seeing that reflected in pounds lost on the scale this week as of yet, but willing to bet that i'm down some more in inches, and that counts too.

So far for the month (which is really only 1 session Monday, lunchtime yesterday (which was only cardio), and today's two workouts)...i've already lifted a total of 27,225 pounds as far as weight training goes..and Im 8th overall for females regardless of age bracket at the Y I go to near my house.  last month I lifted a total of 109.930.....so in just two sessions this week, Im already more than 1/4 of the way to the total I lifted all of last month.  TOLD YA I've been increasing my weights each time and how often I'm weight training!!  And I credit that to my clothes being looser etc...converting fat to muscle...lean muscle in turn burns more fat.  Putting in my time for cardio as well, which then gets easier as I get stronger, so I have to up the ante on the cardio as well and keep changing it up, doing different intervals and switching up what machines I do for cardio......keep the body guessing constantly.  Make it work hard, never let it figure out the "routine" cause that's when plateaus happen which can be incredibly frustrating.  Not saying I won't hit any, but doing my best to minimize those.

Bring on the rest of September!!  Im ready and anxious to keep kicking butt and see where I am come October!!!
